Justin, I don’t want to be a choir, but your work is crucial to restoration of the diminished delivery system between reality and the need to know. We have a delivery problem. Not a diminished product or market for journalism. That like food and water might be inconvenient, but is undeniable, inescapable. What has changed is only systemic. Thanks.
You're preaching to the choir! I've been ranting to anyone who will listen that our problem isn't just a revenue issue — we've got a news delivery crisis. I don't think we're doing nearly enough to reach people, particularly new news consumers or those who have tuned out of real journalism in recent years. I don't think I've particularly figured this out, either, but I'm at least anxious about it!
I appreciate the kind words, as always. Thanks for supporting!
In WW1, it was the tank, needed to break the stalemate of trenches and barbed wire; Britain developed them faster, and won.
No question we have the first war not a "come as you are" war, for the first time since WW2. Weapons not invented when it started will be crucial to it, and the fastest drone-inventors and builders will have huge advantage.
I should have my feature (increasingly looking like a tome) on how Ukraine's drone industry is innovating at breakneck speeds out in WIRED this week. I previewed a few of the pieces in the newsletter the other week, but I think you'll find it *very* interesting. The comparison to the Mark I is pretty apt, I think.
This piece brings me new hope for Ukraine as well as some insight into the differences of leadership before, during, and after war, ie: Winston Churchill.

I was riveted right from the start. Wonderful piece, and I wish it would be read by everyone. Interesting man that Zelensky is.
Fascinating, thank you so much, Justin. And oh what a pleasure to read a transcript that has been given some care!
Thanks Erwin! It was a lot of editing, so I'm genuinely glad to hear you appreciate it!
