As we all hit the open road or airports, the heat intensifies ... from under our collars and inside our skulls as the delays and re-routes, delays and re-schedules stack up.

On the final day of Pride month, we're still seeing idiotic defacing of property here, and Dylan Mulvaney isn't very happy with the Bud Light folks; she has a

We head back out to the UAE in today’s episode and have a fabulous chat with Cat, whose life has been so fascinating with a completely different route into the private sector.

I caught up with Substack co-founders and at Substack’s office in San Francisco last week. They’re fresh off raising a community fundraising round and launching their social network Notes. I wrote in March about my decision to invest $5,000 in Substack’s fundraising round, even though the company revealed that it had negative revenue in 2021:I’m already compromised when it comes to Substack.
