Kill the Noise. Keep the Work.
If you’re sick of Facebook’s pesky fucking algorithms choking real reporting and burying it under “suggested” sludge, here’s your exit ramp. Substack cuts the leash. No roulette wheel deciding what you’re allowed to see, no pay-to-boost ransom to reach your own readers, no ads stapled into the middle of a paragraph. You get a clean, chronological feed that delivers the work when it lands, full stop.
That’s why The Wisecrackers’ Desk lives here. You get the whole investigation with receipts, not chopped-up engagement bait. You get audio reads so you can take the story on the run. And you get our Wisecrackers’ Dispatch podcast, Substack-exclusive, right inside the app, no gatekeepers, no interruptions, no bullshit. Comments stay sharp and human because I moderate like an adult, not carnival barkers. If you want context, evidence, and spine instead of algorithmic junk food, this is home.

TOP TEN REASONS TO DOWNLOAD THE SUBSTACK APP + SUBSCRIBE TO THE WISECRACKERS’ DESK
1) Real feed, no gatekeeper
Chronological. Creator-first. When a piece drops, you get it, full stop. No intern in a hoodie throttling your intake because the headline scares advertisers. Turn on notifications and you’ll see new work when it lands, not three days later after the internet’s moved on.
2) No “pay-to-breathe” shakedowns
No boosts, no ransom notes, no “sponsor your own post to reach your own readers.” If you subscribe, you see it. If I publish, it hits your app. That’s the contract.
3) Ad-free means ad-free
You won’t have a “sponsored story” stapled to paragraph three or an autoplay fever dream hijacking your attention. The post is the post. Clean page, clean headspace, faster read.
4) Your data isn’t a chew toy
You’re not a microtargeting product here. Read, listen, comment, without feeding some profiling machine that sells your habits back to you as manipulation.
5) Clean, focused, time-respecting
Open app. Read piece. Leave smarter. Substack won’t drag you into a doom scroll spiral. You control the session; the session doesn’t control you.
6) Comments without the tire fire
We keep the signal high and the performative stupid out. Real conversation, real moderation, and no bot swarm turning the thread into a slap fight.
7) Articles that move with you, plus The Wisecrackers’ Dispatch Podcast (Substack-exclusive)
Some posts include audio reads so you can listen during the commute, at the gym, or while you wage war on the dishes. And the Wisecrackers’ Dispatch podcast lives only on Substack, full episodes, no ads, no gatekeepers. Hit play, keep moving.
8) Full stories, not slot-machine bait
You get context, sourcing, and a searchable archive, not chopped-up “engagement” crumbs. It’s a library with spines intact, built for readers who think.
9) Stable rules; no shadowban roulette
We’re not playing whack-a-mole with invisible tripwires or overnight policy pivots. The floorboards don’t vanish under your feet because a headline makes someone nervous.
10) Journalism can breathe here
This is where long-form reporting gets room to swing. Deep dives, source-driven breakdowns, and unapologetic analysis, the kind of work built to piss off the right people.
