Every creator economy founder is just another parasite in a Patagonia vest trying to extract 10% from people making less than rent money. We don't need more middlemen. We need ownership, independence, and fewer tech holes 'saving' us with their exponential growth charts https://www.joanwestenberg.com/your-creator-economy-math-is-built-on-our-broken-dreams/

A message to the tech dudes still trying to build “creator economy” apps: creators are poor as shit, we’re all struggling to survive on pennies and scraps from hellscape algorithms and we don’t need another dork in a vest taking another 10% of our income. Hope that clears it up for you.

Veterans fought in combat zones. Now they're fighting their own government for basic healthcare while Trump (who dodged the draft) and Musk (who has never served anyone but himself) dismantle the VA. It's a disgrace that will go down in infamy. https://www.theindex.media/elon-musk-and-donald-trump-have-declared-war-on-veterans/

professional journalism is when you spend 2000 words explaining why the good guys are bad and the bad guys are good. this is called 'analysis' and they teach it at harvard

We need to create and maintain space for “bounded endeavors”—pursuits intentionally limited in scope, scale, or duration. They’re the antithesis of the “scale or die” mentality that dominates our cultural conversation about success and meaning. https://www.joanwestenberg.com/you-dont-have-to-monetize-the-things-you-love/

The world's most powerful nation has become a pathological liar - breaking treaties, abandoning allies, shredding regulations, and destroying its own institutions. The American guarantee is a joke. https://www.theindex.media/the-american-guarantee-is-a-joke/

America was never a reliable ally—just an unreliable empire. NATO’s fragility proves Europe bet its security on a country that cannot effectively govern itself, run by fools and useful idiots. https://www.theindex.media/america-was-always-natos-biggest-strength-and-its-greatest-weakness/

This year, I started a new agency for people who give a s**t. No 50-slide "viral" strategies, no engagement hacks. Real influence for founders and builders who want to make waves. https://www.signalvs.com/influence-doesnt-chase-attention/
