You get a shout-out in this one @chrismsutcliffe…
A little bit of creative futurology — what if that @verge piece from yesterday is right, and Substack is in a bad financial way?
What could that mean for #newsletters?
Bit of a shocker: gal-dem magazine is closing. It had a passionate following - I’m genuinely surprised that they couldn’t convert that into a stable business model. gal-dem.com/gal-dem-goodby…
@ConnorIbbetson Followed!
Should have done this ages ago, but finally set the base rules for my Mastodon instance:

Plus an interesting new AI-powered community app, and why publishers should be playing more games…And
15 minutes into the @cityjournalism podcasting event, we get our first mention of RSS feeds… 😉
@kateevebowie Congratulations! Hitting a deadline is hitting a deadline, even if it’s the very last moment…
