I'm feeling pretty self-satisfied that I know most of these, so I am giving myself credit for feeling my way into reading the cream of Substack over the past year. I never miss a piece by you or the other Sam K, or by Anstruther, Auslander, Alexie, and on and on. Better add Chloe Hope to your list: "Best Razor Sharp Writing About Death that Always Makes You Feel Better About Life Somehow"

A friend wants to know what Layla's Substack handle is.

Thank you for my award. I always find that my chances of victory are greatly increased when I run unopposed.

Not unopposed! I thought about including Marc Andreessen since he was an early funder of Substack. Be glad you defeated Andreessen!

Mangione had a Substack, eh? You learn something new every day. All kinds of things a Berkeley, CA kid can unpack on that fetishistic topic; but if literature was good enough for Jozef Czapski in the Gulag, then it's good enough for me in our half-proto-Prison-Planet, half-proto-Metaverse reality.

Thanks for the shoutout! (I second a lot of the co-Peeps mentioned here) Hope you accomplish a lot of your life goals in the New Year!

I may be misstating this. He was a founding-tier member for Gurwinder Bhogal's The Prism (according to Gurwinder). I think to pay you need to have some kind of a Substack account set up? In any case, I think that makes him part of the community. Happy New Year Felix!
