Welcome!

Just a moment to say thanks and here's what's coming your way.

Hey there,

There’s a moment I keep coming back to — a morning not too long ago when I realized I was doomscrolling before even brushing my teeth. Again.

Somewhere between the third political podcast hot take and a dubious LinkedIn ‘thought leader’ claiming burnout is a mindset problem, it hit me:

We’re being fed noise disguised as insight, and we’re supposed to say thank you.

All the Fits That’s News was born out of that moment.

This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s a dispatch from someone who’s worked in media, PR, writing and podcasting for decades, and has had enough of the performative nonsense, the bs parades, and the hollow “inspiration” masquerading as wisdom.

Here’s where to start:

• Corporate and Governmental B.S. got you rolling your eyes? Read: The Art of No Deal

• Burned out by political podcasts and life on the rage farm? Try: Becoming Unstressable in an Overloaded World

• The Importance of Language in Modern Life. Check out: Accidental Sarcastic

• Want the real talk on doing good in a cynical world? Don’t miss: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: A Field Guide for the Well-Intentioned and Mildly Naïve

• Bully culture got you down? Punching Down: The Rise of Bullies in American Society

• End of Days fears? Me too. Lets take a look at Our Digital Alexandria, already aflame,

• Eyes tired? Don’t forget, we have audio episodes, especially for paid subscribers!

• There’s also my Stoicism in the modern age essays, a look at the ways we can easily get bamboozled, and perhaps a look at the not-so fun-stuff, like grief.

If these pieces resonate, you’re in the right place. If they provoke or challenge you? Even better.

You’ll get essays, behind-the-scenes insights, and the occasional audio monologue or interview. Some of it will be uncomfortable. Most of it will aim to be useful. None of it will waste your time.

Now, if you’re already nodding along and want the full experience, the paid tier is where I go deeper — stories I won’t publish publicly, extended essays, private podcast episodes, and early drafts of my fiction. Think of it as the backroom where the real conversations happen. No pressure, but you can check that out here:

Before you go — one quick ask. Hit reply and tell me this:

What’s one topic you wish more writers tackled with honesty and clarity?

I read every reply, and your answer might shape an upcoming piece.

Thanks again for joining me. Let’s cut through the noise — together.
