I'm Hosting a Subscriber Hangout Starting in an Hour

Hi everyone,

I’ll be having a monthly subscriber hangout in just over an hour (that’s 6:00 p.m. UTC, or 11:00 a.m. Pacific, 1:00 p.m. Central, 2:00 p.m. Eastern, 7:00 p.m. in Britain, and 4:00 a.m. in Australia), lasting for about two hours. These are usually for paid subscribers only —

— but just for this month I’m opening it to free subscribers as well. If you’re reading this from your email inbox, you’ll find the links below. If you’re on the Substack website or in the app, you’ll see the post is paywalled so non-subscribers can’t access the links. As a consolation, please enjoy this AI-generated image of Saddam Hussein in pop art style from early 2022. (Yes, this really is what top-of-the-line AI art looked like!)
