Today @Ghost crossed $10M ARR, as a bootstrapped non-profit foundation building open source software. Indie publisher revenue earned with Ghost now ~$130M, and accelerating. The world of technology is shifting rapidly, and so is the world of media, creators and journalism. It's hard to keep up with, and even harder to predict. My strong belief, though, is that open software that you own and control is going to be even more important and relevant in the future than it is now. So we're going to keep building it.

Google search is broken. Social algorithms suppress links. Finding good independent writing online has never been harder. We built something to fix that: 🌍 ghost.org/changelog/ghos…

November's Paper Jam was about using psychological research to influence the behavior of LLMs — super fascinating topic that makes me want to do some more research in my spare time. leif.me/using-psycholo…

Publishers on Ghost are growing faster than ever in 2025, and keeping 100% of their revenue 📈 Tangle is an wonderful example of a sustainable modern media business that's doing things right, winning both admiration and respect. Congrats on hitting $3M ARR!
Isaac Saul@Ike_Saul

With trust in mainstream media at an all-time low and so many media orgs struggling to keep their lights on, @TangleNews has had the best few months in our company's 5+ years in existence. Today: 340,000+ newsletter subs, $3 million+ in sub revenue, a flourishing ad biz. Why?

@rashi_kakkar Fair points. I was most interested by the concept of risk on vs risk off society

There’s a really, really important point in here: We went from a society that encourages play and silliness, risk on, to a society that punishes errors extremely. In a society where citizens are trained to govern each other, everyone becomes a judge and no one is left to play. We can only progress when people can play freely.
JD Vance@JDVance

I cannot overstate how much I loathe this emotional blackmail pretending to be concern. My kids, god willing, will be risk takers. They won't think constantly about whether a flippant comment or a wrong viewpoint will follow them around for the rest of their lives. They will tell stupid jokes. They will develop views that they later think are wrong or even gross. I made mistakes as a kid, and thank God I grew up in a culture that encouraged me to grow and learn and feel remorse when I screwed up and offer grace when others did.

Urteil für einen verbeamteten Feuerwehrmann zu diskutieren geht es ausschließlich um die Staatsangehörigkeit der Täter. Nicht einmal die täglichen Femizide in Deutschland werden thematisiert! Klar wird: Um die Opfer geht es nie. Merz nicht und der AfD nicht. 13/13

This wildly misleading tweet, and the mostly hateful replies, is like entering an alternate version of reality. If anybody is interested in the truth behind this claim, and what that Swedish poll actually asked, I'll go through it. Probably banging my head against a wall. 😂
