Substack is a Pile of Pancakes

writing

I’m quietly backing away from Substack at the moment. I mentioned this to Chris and explained all the reasons why.

We have an agreement - when I talk about techie stuff and he doesn’t understand it, he just nods his head and makes the appropriate noises.

When I’d finished describing Substack, he said, I didn’t understand any of that but Substack sounds like something you would find in a New York diner. A pile of pancakes with a skewer through it and a newsletter on top.

So, I present to you Substack, a pile of pancakes.
