Two degrees of separation…

Two months ago, I was introduced to a wickedly smart, uber-cool, wonderfully articulate, super-successful podcaster (top 2.5% globally!!) and top-tier media brain. She also makes hyper-expensive stilettos paired with off-the-rack sweats look really good. It is a joy...

Yo, COVID virus! Got a minute? Mind if I remove my 17¢ life-saving blue paper mask so that I can better “see” you and “hear” you? Oh. OK. You could care less… Question for you: can you like jump out of an open window of a moving car and bite me when I am walking...

The Fourth Reich (China) And NIKE

Yes! The Fourth Reich: the PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. And one of its elite enablers: NIKE. Setting this up, an acquaintance of many years asked me why in my book, Pimps Whores And Patrons Of Virtue I wrote about NIKE with loathing, and without explanation. He fancies...
