Thanks for your great reporting during this. Always hard to explain to friends that a cat on the internet is a better source of news on Covid than the New York Times or the Washington Post, but it's a worthwhile fight!

i mean, those faded failures of newspapers don't even HAVE any cats working for them.

hardly a fair contest.

Of course they'd never have a cat working for them! The cat would rip everything to shreds showing them once and for all how worthless their paper truly is.

Ben, for what it is worth, cats are always a better source of info and are more intelligent than any human I know. Just saying.....

I signed up for precisely this reason. I don't have any social media accounts and follow people on twitter just using a web browser because I don't want to become their product. Was intending to do the same with substack but realized that these subscriber numbers help boost your influence so I signed up to every member of Team Reality who has one. Really appreciate that Substack isn't in the censorship business so increasing their influence is a good thing too. I just cancelled my New Yorker subscription (I'm 50 and have been a subscriber since high school) - just less and less worth reading their and plenty to keep me busy here.

Me too. I left FarceBook and Twit after the election. Even the conservative social networks are sometimes pathetic.

I’m surprised you could hold out as long as you have with The New Yorker! I was a long time Vanity Fair subscriber (I know not the caliber of The New Yorker 😜) but mid 2020 I couldn’t take their woke editorials & content any longer…when Graydon Carter left the magazine it went to 💩.

You help me get through the day/week- I use your information a lot and have been banned from a local newspaper forum THREE times for using "misinformation". I am waiting to re-join with a fourth account to present more truth. The participants that use terms such as "covidiots" and claim the hospitals are full of unvaccinated (without listing sources) get to keep on presenting their lame points of view however. I will not give up!

I used to screenshot my favorite Gato twitter posts and memes and I love seeing them when I scroll through my jillions of pictures. 😻 He makes me smarter than I deserve to be.

What? Only 15,000? It should 1.5 million so let's get busy and spread the word! Else you might not see the truth:

"For the 2nd time in 5 days, our ER cared for another little boy for myocarditis. The first one was 8 years old. This time, a 10 year old (boy). Just so we’re clear here people, climate change does not cause myocarditis in innocent children. I am in tears "

I really appreciate your optimistic attitude. We need more people who talk about the way we get through and out of this sanely and intact. We can't get dragged down psychologically. That's just playing along with their mind games from a different angle.

Thanks for all you do, for the great part you play in showing the way.

Substack is a welcome breath of fresh air not only for the lack of censorship but (especially on your substack) for the quality of the comments. An entire generation has to re-learn the major rules of the Internet. While it's still not a good idea to try to win an argument with Hitler comparisons, that other bedrock rule should now be revised:

N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ Sometimes read the comments section

My high school biology teacher told us that the only good cat was a dead cat. I beg to differ! I love the kitties, and you're my absolute favorite (although I do love me some Catturd too). May you keep growing and spreading your special blend of brilliance and irreverence!
