Good evening,

What follows is a list of 10 things that I live by:

  1. If nobody hates you, you’re doing something wrong.

  2. Nobody can hold anything against you that your parents already know about.

  3. Good looks get you through the door. A good personality gives you the key. Money frees you from both.

  4. You shouldn’t be proud (or ashamed) of anything you were born with.

  5. You should eat whatever the fuck you want.

  6. Be spiritual, find God, and keep it to yourself.

  7. You impress people the most when you don’t try to.

  8. You can learn anything. And I mean ANYTHING.

  9. No hard work ever goes unrewarded.

  10. The ‘Friendship Tax’ is real, you should pay it, and it’s worth every single penny.


Today’s Letter includes: SRMG’s latest contract, Mayfair Hotels pray for gulf war to end, AI fruit slop videos are junk content, Swan Beauty, celebrities’ toxic workplace culture, and more.
