Two moments stick out to me in the story of The Free Press. The first is me opening my phone to see @bariweiss’s resignation letter in 2020. It felt shocking. Not her leaving the New York Times, but what she wrote, how she said it and when, during a summer of hysteria when very

FRED SMITH: AN AMERICAN LIFE. By me, for @arenamagdotcom Fred Smith died on Saturday, June 21. He was the founder of Federal Express, which became FedEx, one of the largest logistics companies on Earth. Smith was an entrepreneur in the truest sense of the word, and an American

For @wsj to say flat out that SVB could have failed because they added non-white men to their board shows how far behind the times (and certifiably stupid) this publication really is. It makes me so angry and very sad. WSJ readers and staff deserve better.

.@BillAckman is right. There are two systemic crises underway right now: (1) Startup Extinction Event - thousands of startups and small businesses won’t be able to make payroll and will immediately need to furlow or layoff employees if the FDIC does not release at least a

@MKBHD Canada Goose sells more Polar jackets than people have visited the Pole. Same for Rolex Submariner, 300 Feet of depth and people who buy it either never dive or they all hangout at the country club pool max.
