Was reminded today of the piece on Internet newsletters that @clive wrote for WIRED just about ten years ago, which feels, if anything, even more relevant today: "The pleasure in reading a newsletter comes from the view into a unitary mind at work. Reading [Metafoundry, my newsletter] is like being plugged Oculus-style into her brain while she meditates on science and culture. The best newsletters are all like that: places online where one can talk—and listen—in private." https://www.wired.com/2016/05/rise-of-the-newsletter/

These days I'm generally either heads-down on projects (one of which is standing up the newsletter archives!) or I'm outside, so I really appreciate the folks who sign up for Metafoundry. It's infrequent and substantive, and everything is there in your inbox when you're ready to read. https://buttondown.com/metafoundry
