Freedom To Offend has cracked the top 16 in Humour worldwide on Substack (17,000 writers).
Not bad for a one-man rant factory (with two Westies as my non-unionised, unpaid staff).
Here’s the deal: free readers get the first day’s post, then it vanishes into the archives quicker than a Trudeau promise after an election. If you don’t want to miss anything—or if you want the bragging rights of saying, “I was here when he was only #16”—press the button.
Otherwise, you can wait for the day I abandon rants and take up knock-knock jokes, morphing into that uncle at the family reunion whose comic timing provokes only groans, indigestion, and an accelerated demand for whiskey.
Alternatively, you can sign up now and spare yourself the weekly reminder from me.
$5 a month buys you full access. That’s cheaper than a Starbucks latte, less fattening, and—dare I say—slightly more stimulating. And unlike the heavily-subsidised scribblers at the Toronto Star, who get half their salary courtesy of Ottawa and Google, I rely solely on reader subscriptions. I’ve never supped at the government trough, and don’t intend to acquire the taste.
I need to buy the dog some Costco treats - get off the free train.
