one day I will be able to read about Dolly without feeling like I'm on the verge of tears but today is not that day. what we know about Dolly is only what she let us know. it is only after she died that I realize there is so much more that we may never find out. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/o...

MY LATEST is about Celsius, the number three energy drink in the US. The company now challenging Monster and Red Bull wasn't always an energy drink maker--they went from weight loss drink to fitness focused energy without changing their recipe. It was all marketing. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

How America Got Hooked On Celsius
The normie energy drink has outlasted hundreds of competitors in a category littered with brazen brands and crash-and-burn startups.

Dolly accepted everyone and judged no one — at least not publicly — and while many will use this moment to say, she was with us, IMO we should be careful not to respond with judgments of our own. That is exactly not what Dolly would do.

What horseshit. She embraced gay people at the height of the AIDS crisis, embraced trans people at the height of the war against them, supported Black communities and artists, and wrote the most pro-worker's rights feminist pop song of all time. Neutral my ass

For August’s @bloomberg.com Businessweek—The Grift Issue!—I wrote about skyrocketing rates of credit card chargebacks, which are up 46% since 2021. It’s driven by two things: retailers behaving in scammy ways, and shoppers trying to scam them back. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
