I’ve had a crush on Debbie Gibson since 1987, so I’m excited to dive into her new memoir. Unfortunately, I had to miss her concert in Menlo Park last month because I was recovering from surgery. Come back to the Bay soon Debbie!

This! We already knew the rich and powerful don't think rules apply to them -- but didn't know that also included spelling and grammar rules.
Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.
