DAILY DISPATCH - 9 January 2025

Plus an Update

Quick Note:

I am no longer going to be using Mega Drive to share the Video Dispatch. Even though it was easy, I don’t feel like it was the best way to share it. I am going to try to keep it on Substack entirely, so you should receive a Video Dispatch in your email if you are a paid subscriber.

Thanks!

Harrison
