New post on my Media Gifts blog: ‘The Rest Is Substack: Mehdi Hasan, Zeteo and the Parallel Establishment’

http://garyhall.squarespace.com/journal/2025/3/26/the-rest-is-substack-mehdi-hasan-zeteo-and-the-parallel-esta.html

‘I recently watched an interview with Mehdi Hasan, the journalist behind Zeteo. He’s using Substack to build a left-leaning media company as an alternative to legacy outlets such as the BBC. Naomi Klein, Owen Jones and Cynthia Nixon are already involved in delivering content.

I'm not uncritical of Substack, nor unaware of how it works. Still, at first glance, I could see the appeal. …

But before even more of us rush out to join Substack, let me say that lasted all of about five minutes.

Then I came across this piece ... which delves into the politics of Substack. It highlights how the platform isn’t just a neutral tool for independent journalism - it’s a key pillar of what Marc Andressen, Balaji Srinivasan and other advocates of the 'Network State' call the 'parallel establishment...'

I read an article today that got under my skin about the ethicalness of vintage resellers. I just wanted to share a personal story.

You can find the story on my Substack. Link is at the bottom of my linktree, look for the Substack icon.

Yet another journalist I'd like to support has gone all-in on his newsletter — on Substack. I'm getting so tired of this.,

"Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back." So writes Brian Merchant — a good goal!

So maybe don't publish on a platform that welcomes racists and Nazis?

Edited to replace a link to a Substack critique that was, ironically, published on Substack.

"Att vänsterlutande tidningar som The Guardian, New York Times och El Pais har en tydlig tendens att i sin nyhetsrapportering ta ställning mot Israel, det visste jag sedan länge. Men att även franska Le Monde sällar sig till denna skara är en relativt ny insikt för mig. En insikt som tar emot, givet det stora förtroendekapital som tidningen faktiskt har."

New blog post is out. This was supposed to be about YA novels, but it ended up being mainly about transphobia. That's been very much on my mind of late, particularly after the US election result in November. Give it a look and let me know what you think, and sorry about the lack of content over the past couple weeks or so. https://open.substack.com/pub/hailymerry/p/some-thoughts-on-ya-novels-and-why?r=4m0f50&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true #blog #substack #trans #transphobia #books #YA


Wild mice actually enjoy running on exercise wheels

"Findings dispel the idea that wheel running is a product of captivity, indicative of a neurotic or repetitive stereotyped behaviour that may be associated with poor welfare"

Another random and slightly weird post from me. Talking about a book I'm currently reading on Jimmy Carter, a wonderfully bastardly former New Zealand Prime Minister, and Roald Dahl, for some reason. Go give it a look and let me know what you think. I'm always happy to contribute my fair share of verbal diarrhoea to the internet. As always, if you like this, help me out by subscribing and spreading the word far and wide. https://open.substack.com/pub/hailymerry/p/his-very-worst?r=4m0f50&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true #blog #substack


Yeah #Medium is a load of bollocks, isn't it?

And so's #Substack really.

People should just have their own blog and publish on that.

People used to have a page of recommended bloggers you could follow.

Now it's all done via corporate #SocialMedia

But there's nothing these platforms do that wasn't being done already. It just feels better with it all being in one place or something, or with algorithms telling you what to do all the time

People like being told what to do

I think that's it

But the New York Times reported yesterday that #ElonMusk did attempt to buy #Substack last year. Musk also hinted that he would merge it into Twitter and let Best run the combined companies.

The Times also reports that Best rejected this offer.

The Newest Tech and Media Newsletters on Flipboard


Inhaltswarnung: Newsletters from independent creators and journalists have been on the rise for some time now, and recently there have been some fantastic new ones that cover technology and media. Since these two topics are very popular on Flipboard, we wanted to be sure


For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.

You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a

Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

p.s. crypto bros (#a16z) also own #Substack
