RIP Fyre Festival 2, woodpecker vandal & a dicey lawsuit👀🍿🧃
Hi Wrecklings!
Always interesting watching a documentary and seeing people you’ve been friendly with— perks of working in tech and media! Related, I’m watching Minted: The Rise and Fall of the NFT and The Antisocial Network seeing some familiar faces.
The newsletter format looks a little different this week, trying a more streamlined version as I hyperfocus on Goblins for the next couple of months. All the stories, just without the commentary!
Y’all good if this is the format until I can come up for air? Lemme know via the poll below.
