Oh FUCK OFF please

Benjamin Ryan's avatar

Jeez, you got a problem with The New Yorker? What gives?

Paolo Biscotto's avatar

Kind of weird isn’t it? It’s like someone says “I’m going to give you a free Belgian chocolate every week” and you tell them “Fuck off.”

Arrr Bee's avatar

They’re offering a free shit sandwich. I wouldn’t pay for the New Yorker and making it free doesn’t make it better.

Nicolas Nelson's avatar

Then don't subscribe, right? The New Yorker won't automatically take over your feed if you want to ignore them. (unlike other platforms)

Arrr Bee's avatar

This isn’t a newsstand. We’ll be giving the racist antiracist ‘progressives’ of the New Yorker a piece of our minds when they publish their illiberal bullshit here.

Nicolas Nelson's avatar

You go right ahead, and thank you for doing so.

Jane B (Jabba)'s avatar

Honestly I wish you’d go back to FB or Twitter or wherever you anger takes you.

Arrr Bee's avatar

LOL. You should read how much of a gaping propaganda hole the New Yorker is https://substack.com/@maxthinks/note/c-181090809

"Context not mentioned: the man made to feel like a ‘slave’ is a convicted murderer who shot someone in the head 😆. This sort of lying by omission is absolutely central to the mainstream-lib narrative around race, the criminal justice system, and society more broadly. And it really worked for a long time (though now at long last I think their position is starting to crumble, at least slightly)."

Ellen Sollinger Walker's avatar

No one is forcing you to read The New Yorker, right? If you don't like it, just go somewhere else, ok??

publius_x's avatar

Fuck off. They landed here. The commentariat was here first. Fuck em.

Arrr Bee's avatar

Nobody is forcing the New Yorker to hire racists and Jew-hating staff, and we’re here to remind them that normal people aren’t aligned with their sociopathic politics. We’ve seen the racism of “antiracists™️” and the terrorism support of “Just antizionists for the genocide of Israeli Jews”. The New Yorker is staffed by moral midgets.

Daniel L Davies's avatar

Such anger is not good for your soul. Take a deep breath and listen to some jazz.

Ellen Sollinger Walker's avatar

Why can’t we all just get along??? Why all this “anti-racist, anti-zionist, anti-everything”? Can we let this talk go and just remark on a beautiful sunset or the roses or even a good plate of spaghetti? I mean—life is too short for this anti-shit??

Art Harrison's avatar

You don’t have to read it and probably aren’t capable of reading much anyway, so don’t worry about it.

publius_x's avatar

Fuck off. Your ad hominem attacks are what people expect from "individuals" who like the New Yorker

Arrr Bee's avatar

Yeah, that’s me, Mr Not Capable of Reading Idiotic Far-Left Propaganda.

Bridget Collins's avatar

Then block them.

How hard is it to figure that out?

Mystic William's avatar

If he is Jewish and they are anti semitic, even Jew hating, why should he not attack back? What’s it to you?

Bridget Collins's avatar

There are tons of antisemites in this country.

If you want to go protest outside of Turning Point USA, I'll be happy to join you. Most days you can find them in the Trump administration.

The New Yorker isn't.

MAGA is pro Israel and antisemitic.

And just like a lot of Catholics are discovering, MAGA will revert back to their traditional hatreds in a flash.

Arrr Bee's avatar

I know that's how progressives live, how they reinforce their little dogma-policed bubbles. But that's not what normal people do, sorry to bring you up to speed on the real world, Bridget.

I block Russian/Chinese/Iranian troll bots. I block people who are deranged Jew-hating freaks that bubble up from the internets. The rest? I engage them in conversations. The illiberal, racist, Jew-haters infesting the New Yorker get to hear from the rest of us that they're scum, and their product is propaganda trash.

Bridget Collins's avatar

You think I'm a progressive?

DYD.

You're not engaging anyone in conversation. You're attacking and screaming and pretty much sounding like a spoiled five year old.

You don't like the New Yorker? Big deal.

You want to claim they're responsible for the death of civilization?

Call your doctor and schedule a mental health appointment.

Really, talk to someone. In the real world.

Because your grip on reality is slipping.

Fredo's avatar

But Belgium chocolate is good.

Paolo Biscotto's avatar

Some people like The New Yorker. Considering that there are actual Nazi accounts on Substack, I think someone who gets apoplectic over the presence of The New Yorker sounds like a dicey character.

Tim Lieder's avatar

Caitlin Johnston is a nazi, yes. The new Yorker is rich people bullhit that everyone shares. It's easy to ignore nazis like Caitlin Johnston. https://open.substack.com/pub/marlowe1/p/the-witching-snakes-10-12?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&shareImageVariant=overlay&r=sllf3

I think this is a form of advertising for them. They will publish one of their pieces to be read for free each week, and their hope is that some people will like what they read enough to decide to subscribe to the magazine. Their Substack account doesn’t have a paid subscription option — it’s free only.

Craig Fitzsimons's avatar

That's one hell of a pro-regime biog you have, Benjamin

Ahmet Kraja's avatar

How do you restack comments

Bill Pierce's avatar

There are quite a few bugs in substack software and naturally many user errors too.

There may be a few options. One way to attempt to move your comment from one spot to another preferred spot is to:

copy the text;

paste the text where you prefer;

hope for the best;

then delete whichever result you don’t want.

Bill Pierce's avatar

He’s a far right Zionist. As you can see, the hornets have followed. Yes. It’s bizarre.

Not to mention the neo-fascists in the crowd. Quite a mix. Perhaps it’s a troll farm.

bob's avatar

Yeah they suckass. Dumb little lickspits for the fucking bosses, like the bosses need the fucking help

Kimberly Donovan - #NoKings's avatar

Geez people need to read the article.

Then simply choose to read the weekly articles or not

Bryan Vartabedian's avatar

It’s not The New Yorker. It’s the New Yorker in the context of Substack.

Jonathink's avatar

Exactly. How can people who’ve been here for more than 30 seconds not get that? I like the New Yorker, I like Nick Offerman, but they are so not needed here, as they are everywhere fucking else.

Metamarie griffin #offtherails's avatar

Oh fuck off please is scintillating. Y'all need to publish this guy.

Who are you referring to?

Brian Henderson's avatar

I can hear the disdain dripping from this article ." Oh look at the tubes on substack having fun ! We should join and tell them why they're all wrong !", said Karen feverishly typing from the cafe whilst being paid 10¢ per word for the editor . We really would just like to be left to our own devices . I swear you people are like locusts that just show up when no one ever invited you

REL's avatar

Feeling the same about you, bub.

Brian Henderson's avatar

Well , bless your heart ! Thanks at least someone cares about me on here

You know, you don't have to subscribe, you don't have to comment, go live your life and don't worry about the New Yorker. No one will be upset.

Christina Daly's avatar

I find the New Yorker to be well written and open minded. These mean spirited posts are a total waste of time. If you don't like this magazine, just leave.

Mary's avatar

I suspect they’ve never been able to an entire article in the New Yorker. Please list one or two articles that prove your point.

Alan Gasser's avatar

I'm finding the vast reaches and robotic anonymity of Substack to be worse for me than the New Yorker ever was. But even here, I can stumble upon nuggets, as this from the husband of the mentor of the pundit recommended by the former UN ambassador from Canada, whose grandkids my daughter babysat for a couple years.

Wiki says:

'[George] Steiner received criticism and support for his views that racism is inherent in everyone and that tolerance is only skin deep. He is reported to have said: "It's very easy to sit here, in this room, and say 'racism is horrible'. But ask me the same thing if a Jamaican family moved next door with six children and they play reggae and rock music all day."'

As for me? I could handle that all-day reggae music just fine. (Not saying that I have no capacity to be racist like all the rest of us. But I'm particularly fond of Three Little Birds, among other things.)

Hippie Dippie Shellie!'s avatar

Attention seeking nonsense. Nothing to see here… 🙄

BJ Zamora's avatar

Oh stop, damn it! Can you people please behave yourselves? Don’t like The New Yorker because it’s too ritzy, too snobby, too many words about something you know nothing about, is written at a higher grade level than yours, you’re too good smart sophisticated to force yourself to read it?

Then don’t. Just move on to another article. Another issue. Another surprising turn of events.

Rachael Varca's avatar

I snorted at that.

Same.

Will Falconer, DVM's avatar

What, no one pane comics with those articles?

Suzanne's avatar

I love this offer. Thank you. I think I’ll skip the comments section however. (-:

james mariani's avatar

It’s kinda NYC punk in a counterintuitive

Teri C's avatar

Do you realize that “The New Yorker” magazine and the “New York Times” newspaper, which contains a magazine section, are two different things? There is also “New York Magazine”, another separate publication.

It’s a big city, with lots of different media.

I am thrilled that they are here since I can’t afford a subscription and my library doesn’t carry it anymore.

Gary James Wade's avatar

This is why I don’t do these stupid social media things. Because of idiots like Bossa Nogi. Do I need my enjoyable evening at home distracted with moronic nonsense like that? Time to read a book.

Marcolino's avatar

can you please STF up now? go have a 2-litre mountaindew and a few Arbinators® and give us a good burp to respond to… you know, something worth dissecting for salient points

Alex Jean's avatar

We’re a bunch of racists, sexists, and misogynists here. You may not like it here.🤗

Hippie Dippie Shellie!'s avatar

Attention seeking nonsense. Nothing to see here… 🙄

Bridget Collins's avatar

Or they could block them the way the rest of us do.

Alex Marshall's avatar

Irony, perhaps, Alex Jean?

Grape Soda's avatar

Long time former subscriber here. Will never ever give your rag another dime. Sick to death of your narrative shaping. Sick to death of your snobbery. Sick to death of seeing a once great publication become boring and predictable propaganda.

Tony Bozanich's avatar

Just so I’m clear, you think that the magazine whose mascot since issue #1 is Eustace Tilley, a dandy aristocrat in a top hat peering at a butterfly through a monocle, recently became snobbish?

Arrr Bee's avatar

It recently became racist, anti-American, illiberal, antisemitic, and other lovely qualities that characterize "kind, thoughtful progressives". But you're right, there's a strong overlap there with elite retards.

Tony Bozanich's avatar

I don't agree with progressive identity politics at all but snobbery has been its defining brand from day one

Arrr Bee's avatar

For sure. I guess snobbery always involved racism, but what's lovely about the New Yorker is that it's managed to retain a 100 year dislike of Jews. Now that's high class.

Thomas Snyder's avatar

Brilliant Tony!!😄

Eleanor Mayrhofer's avatar

Then just go. If you're so sick of it, why are you even here announcing to the world making a big stink about it? Get on with your life. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

Erik Hoel's avatar

Will you publish any fiction? It’d be nice to get fiction doing better on Substack.

MediocreLocal's avatar

Most of their political articles are fiction

Clancy Steadwell's avatar

there’s a ton of fiction on substack and you don’t need the new yorker to pick it out for you

JOHN BERRY's avatar

Well, this certainly brought the trolls out of their slumber!!!

Craig Fitzsimons's avatar

What 'trolls'? These are humans, creep

Eleanor Mayrhofer's avatar

Yes, humans on troll farms in Nigeria like you 'Craig'.

Wale's avatar

Why Nigeria? You dumb ugly whore

meryl selig's avatar

Trolls pretending to be humanoid

Tell's avatar

Haha, bist du blöd😂

Mao Zhou's avatar

I feel so sorry for the intern who wrote this.

Demian Entrekin 🏴‍☠️'s avatar

Nah. It's good to have your eyes opened early.

Pentaguila's avatar

How many bots can you now pay to create the impression that anyone gives a shit?

Craig Fitzsimons's avatar

A flood of them have arrived the last day or two, as you can clearly see from the crap they're typing

Leif's avatar

Should we call it a “mixed reception” thus far?

Jake's avatar

Your rag is insufficient for ass wiping, but boy did I give it the college try.

Bridget Collins's avatar

So you felt the need to tell everyone you can't wipe your own ass successfully?

Okey dokey.

Dario Archer's avatar

never tried but i think it was sarcasm, no? you must be a fan of tny..

but i bet no one could effectively wipe said region well because the paper….

Bridget Collins's avatar

You need to check in with the oldest person you know.

.

Rural people were still using newspapers and the Sears catalog in outhouses when I was a kid.

Rural Irish people were using something that looked like wax paper.

😁

So, yes, a paper magazine can be used.

Jake, of course, may be trying to wipe his ass with his phone but that's a bigger problem.

😁😁😁

Craig Fitzsimons's avatar

Not what he said, though, is it?

If Libs were going to send a flood of drones to assail the comments section, two weeks ago was the time to do it.

All of them arriving within the last two days, & the content they're posting, just looks ridiculously obvious & co-ordinated

Bridget Collins's avatar

Oh Craig, liberals have lives.

Not everyone has the time to read everything every day.

Again, we have lives.

Some of us read it when it pops up in our feed.

And then some of us are so amused by you whiny little twerps that we comment.

And while you weren't the whiniest, you're certainly trying hard.

When you blame a magazine because you can't wipe your own ass, you can't be surprised that you sound like a fool.

When you claim everyone has to read everything right away, you sound like a fool.

🤡🤡🤡

Craig Fitzsimons's avatar

You're promoting all these Soros Scum - Kinzuger, Don Knight, all the full-time regime scumfuckers.

Your ‘opinion’ is bought & paid for, and doesn't count.

Why did you feel the need to distort his comment anyway, and what did you achieve by doing so?

Bridget Collins's avatar

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are projecting again, Craig.

Every accusation is a confession.

So how much do you get paid?

Because I do this because I love my country and I despise this regime.

Oh and because it's fun to point out the stupidity of MAGA responses.

Which country do you live in again?

Craig Fitzsimons's avatar

You're clearly on the Hungarian oligarch's payroll. The overkill of Laugh Emojis is a dead giveaway

John Polonis's avatar

Here to balance out the comments with love for The New Yorker. Thank you for elevating great writing - looking forward to this!

Amber Trimble's avatar

I’ve been here for 100 years worth of platform updates.

Annam M. Gordon's avatar

The New Yorker stepping onto Substack says more about the state of modern writing than any long report could. Legacy platforms used to rely on name recognition. That advantage is gone. Readers don’t wait for prestige to tell them what’s worth reading. They follow the voice that hits them in the gut. They follow writers who speak to them without filters. Substack didn’t rise because it was new. It rose because it returned writing to a simple idea: the writer stands alone, and the reader decides if the voice matters. No walls. No layers. No distance. So The New Yorker joining this space isn’t just a move. It’s an admission. They see what every independent writer already understands. Influence is earned in real time now. Not with history. Not with reputation. With clarity, presence, and conviction. If they want to thrive here, they’ll have to compete the same way the rest of us do. Page by page. Word by word. Voice against voice. Substack rewards authenticity, not tradition. And that is the test that no legacy brand can avoid.

meryl selig's avatar

The mouth reaching knuckle draggers who are too busy swearing and releasing f-bomb rants do not have the intellect and maturity required to appreciate The New Yorker.

Readers are required to be very literate, be capable of critical thinking.

There is a place in Substack for everyone.

meryl selig's avatar

Is that the extent of your vocabulary?

Bobby Weekends's avatar

“To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The New Yorker. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of postmodern literary theory most of the jokes will go over a typical reader’s head. There’s also the magazine’s detached irony, which is deftly woven into its editorial voice - its personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The subscribers understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these cartoons, to realize that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike The New Yorker truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in the existential caption “I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as David Remnick’s genius unfolds itself on their coffee tables. What fools… how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have an Eustace Tilley tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

Craig Fitzsimons's avatar

That kind of attitude is why your crew keep losing elections, hearts, minds & eventually your whole empire

Jörgen Löwenfeldt's avatar

So how would you spell my name?

Arrr Bee's avatar

Oh yay, the antiracism publication that purged itself of white writers is here to spread the gospel of Free Palestine to the unwashed masses.

Substack doesn’t need Important Works guided by the hand of “Jew for the genocide of Israeli Jews” David Remnick. Thanks, no thanks, do fuck off.

Tony Wilson's avatar

I’m really hoping the New Yorker will recommend me while I’m still bigger than them.

Tony Wilson's avatar

Will recommend back.

Nicolas Nelson's avatar

That's the kind of community participation I'm talking about!

Tony Wilson's avatar

Haven’t heard from them yet, continuing a theme that began with a Shoute & Murmurs submission in 1999.
