remarkable to see - and appreciate @DKThomp for sharing some numbers here for curious observers.

This insane. Polymarket paid content creators to record ads where they faked placing bets and winning money on a fake Polymarket website to promote the company, the WSJ reports.

wrote about the bidding war for Ina Garten's new podcast (which landed with Vox Media) and the continued blurring of the lines between talk shows + video podcasts! Ina says she can connect more deeply with guests on a pod than on the Food Network

Ads are inevitable... Substack finally gives in

[Katie Campione @katie_campione]

Glad to see Vanity Fair backing its reporter with this one and shame on Unwell Network for trying to belittle a young reporter into dropping a story. This alone is pretty telling.

Anita Hill said that Glamour magazine gave her hope when it named her a Woman of the Year in the early 1990s. “I don’t know very many magazines, neither Time nor Newsweek, that gave me that much interest,” she told me.
