Join Me on Substack

3/27/2021

Because so much traffic has moved away from blogs and toward new platforms, particularly Substack and its competitors, I launched a Substack newsletter channel this past week to provide an additional outlet for my writing. I cross-posted my previous blog post there and received nearly four times the traffic as I did here on my blog. Given the disparity in audience size, for the time being I will be cross-posting archaeology and alien content both here on my blog and on my Substack newsletter. I will also offer on Substack cultural pieces that are not directly relevant to the topics that are covered here on my blog. You can read a Substack-exclusive article, "The Curse of the Black Widow Spyder," about the recent recovery of a piece of James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder here.

If you subscribed to my old newsletter prior to Wednesday, you have already been invited to subscribe to my Substack newsletter. If not, you can visit jasoncolavito.substack.com to sign up.

Honestly, never heard of substack. Had a look. Not convincing. But give it a try.

Sure.

I'll bite.

Best wishes, Captain.

Looking forward to notifications.

Nice!

Nice on the Spyder.

You Gesr-Head!

Let's not talk about what we drive. Good post!

It's safe kids.

I've also never heard of Substack. Nor heard of the collapse of blogging. But then I don't at all try to keep up with rushing after new flavors. Good luck.

It is certainly worth a try. Screaming into the void is doubtless soul-wrenching, but even that is appreciated by a discerning few...

"Substack" sounds like a name for the 3 foreign magazines hidden underneath the main pile. This would be a good name to describe the many bottles of liquor hidden in the libraries across the world. There are certain sections of stacks where you're almost guaranteed to find at least a fifth.

Thanks, but, no thanks. I seek out information, I don't need it emailed to me. You have been providing a lot of information I do not seek. Like the sexual orientation of dead actors. I don't care. Nor do I care about reviews of shows geared towards gay teens on Netflix. That type of stuff is lost on this 47-year-old straight man. You are alienating a good portion of your target audience.

Promises, promises.

Jason, you're one short of your alienation goal. Anthony Warren's co-propalevetitia seems to be spiraling. It's Aesop's fable of The Football Star and The Gay all over again.

Sure you deal with topics I'm not interested in, e.g. ratings. (It might interest you to know that the once mighty Tonight Show consistently gets about 2 million viewers.) But anyone who feels alienated because of that would be well served by consulting an alienist.

I close my eyes and visualize the check list that Colavito has for traits of his idealized target audience member. Anthony checks very few of those boxes.

I'll give it a shot. If the subject matter mostly interests me, I'll stay for the long haul.

There is a planet. It is called Bongolia.

Their King and Queen have been exiled.

The Planet Bongolia is ruled by cats. It is all Cats.

Queen Mongo, and King Bongo? They were exiled to Earth. They are staying with me indefinitely.

Are we doing April Fools Day?

Or not?

Not.

You seem to be the only one here acting and posting as an 8 year old.

"Acting"?

No. I am 8.

Now? Piss off Grandpa.

😅

You want some?

Happy Easter.

You can't handle me. I'll wreck yer train

Quadruple the readership means four times as many potential agents, publishers, booking agents for TV and documentaries and selection committees for civic and university guest speakerships can be alienated by Joe Kent.

Call it a break even.

Don't know what website you're reading but under my insertionship Jason has closed 2 book deals. Anything he's blown, like with The Atlantic, is on him. Remember he approves all posts here, you dewsh.

I will not be joining Jason on Shortstack for the same reason I eschew the soulpatch: it's just not my scene.

I don't think that trying to take credit for books distributed by Cow Patty Publishing accomplishes what you think that it does here.

"...he approves all posts here..."

I'm sure there is some herbal supplement that could aid you with your memory loss regarding what his policy was up until recently.

"I will not be joining Jason on Shortstack"

Is that a promise ?

Canadian Jim, and kent requested links to our Academia.edu articles relating to the pre-colonial Newport Tower. There are currently 124 of them. Many in the top 1-5%. Too numerous and too disrespectful to list here.

https://erau.academia.edu/PatrickShekleton

This link will take you to all of them. I am the completely anonymous Anthony performing a poor man's version of multispectral imaging.

I look forward to seeing how skeptics restructure their blogs and edit their content to reflect new information.

We are FAR from done!
