Story time!

Last week, Uber charged me $85 for a ride in Baltimore that should’ve been $20, so I decided to give Lyft another try. Today, after checking out of my hotel in Oklahoma, I called a Lyft and was picked up by Mike, a guy driving a red F-150 work truck. The truck bed was full of tools and lumber, and when I got in, I took the passenger seat.
“How far to the airport?” I asked.
“Fifteen minutes,” he replied. “You in a hurry?”
“Not really. Are you?”
“Never.”
As we cruised down the highway in the slow lane, I asked Mike if carpentry was his main gig.
“Among other things,” he said.
“Jack of all trades?” I teased.
“Don’t know about that. Back in the seventies, I was a plumber’s helper. Then I worked in heating and air for a spell.”
“How was that?” I asked.
“Hot and cold,” he replied, deadpan.
I couldn’t tell if he was joking. His voice had a Midwestern drawl, and his face betrayed no expression.
“After that, I started carpentry—trim, then framing. Eventually, I built custom cabinets in rich people’s houses. Learned spiral staircases and furniture. Did pretty good.”
“Are you retired now?”
“Nope. These days, I build campers.”
“Campers?” I asked, intrigued.
“Small ones you can tow anywhere—teardrop trailers. Got real popular during the lockdowns. I build ’em by hand, one at a time.”
“And how’s the quality?”
“Pretty good,” he said.
“Got a website?”
“Sure. Gotta have a website these days.”
“What’s it called?”
“Mike’s Pretty Good Campers.”
I paused. “Your company is called Mike’s Pretty Good Campers?”
“I like to manage expectations,” he said.
“Under promise, over deliver?”
“Exactly.”
“Is that what you were doing before picking me up?” I asked.
“Yup. But I got frustrated. And I don’t like to work frustrated. So I step away.”
“To drive strangers to the airport?”
“Never too frustrated to drive,” Mike said. “Besides, we ain’t strangers no more, are we?”
“No,” I said. “We’re not.”
As we neared the airport, I asked if he’d head back to the shop after dropping me off.
“Ain’t decided yet. Guess I’ll see how I feel in a few minutes.”
Before getting out, I said, “If I like your website, do you mind if I share it on Facebook? I’ve got a few followers who might be in the market for a pretty good camper built by a quasi-retired carpenter who drives for Lyft when he’s frustrated.”
“Can’t hurt,” Mike said. “Once people see these trailers, they fall in love. There’s even conventions for teardrop owners. Thousands show up—you wouldn’t believe how they decorate ’em.”
“Mike,” I said, “I’ll believe just about anything these days.”
At the curb, he unloaded my bags and asked, “Have I driven you before? You look familiar.”
“I don’t think so. I’d remember,” I said. “Thanks for the lift.”
“Was it okay?”
“It was a pretty good lift,” I replied.
Somewhere behind his mustache, I think Mike smiled. I walked into Will Rogers Airport, boarded my flight, and immediately searched to see if there was actually a website called Mike’s Pretty Good Campers.

Mr. Torba, I apologize for any slander I spoke against you in the past. It was unmerited and immature. I'm sorry.
If it wasn't for your site, my worldview wouldn't be the same. Truth emerges from the slime when no one holds it back. Gab proved this.
The Regime has tried for 8 years now to take Gab offline. First I got offered large sums of money, but with strings attached: “Remove the far-right guys,” I declined. Then my family started getting threats. I held my ground.

Then the smear attacks by the media accelerated. Then they flooded Gab with p*rn bots and sent the ADL and SPLC after us.

Then they removed us from app stores, hosting providers, payment processors, banks and more. We did go offline briefly for 6 days, but got the site back up.

Then the billionaire Mercer family launched Parler with “hate speech” rules to try to compete and take us out that way. They paid every conservative influencer to shill Parler for years. Then Amazon pulled the plug and everyone came to Gab.

Then Trump’s team approached me. They wanted Trump to join Gab after J6, but there were conditions. “You have to do something about the antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment.” I declined. At this same time Rumble changed their terms of service to ban “hate speech and antisemitism.” That same week Trump joined the platform.

Then Trump launched Truth Social. It uses AI to censor “hate speech.” It flopped.

Then the ultimate subversion attempt: take over Twitter and say it’s freedom speech, not freedom of reach. The right slopped it up from the trough.

Now the rug is being pulled on the actual right wing and a huge purge is underway, implicit shadowbanning is back, demonetization is back, and algos are being changed.

Gab remains the true home of free speech.

[narrator's voice...] and over here we observe the broken clock doing its twice-a-day thing to keep the masses on the plantation where they belong.

The Pavlovian response kicks in. The likes, shares, and screenshots did flow. And that means it's working.

IT'S CALLED "TAKING OUT THE TRASH"!

THE BUCK STOPS HERE: On Saturday night, a woman in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, used the speaker on her video doorbell to discourage a buck from eating her holiday decorations.

After a few moments, the buck finally gave up and walked away.
