Dear Friends,

I sent part 2 of my Christian Nationalism series out last Friday but when I noticed that the open-rate was extremely low, I asked some friends and they all said that for some reason that issue went to spam.

Will you look in your spam for the issue and move it to your inbox, hopefully, that will keep it from going there again.

Sorry for the hassle. I’m not really sure what happened? Revue - the platform I use for this newsletter - had some trouble last Friday so that could have caused it or perhaps it was the fact that there were so many dang links in the issue.

In either case, here are two things you can do to keep this from happening again:

Ask your subscribers to move your emails into the Priority tab in Gmail or their app’s equivalent. In Gmail, they’ll have to make sure to confirm the follow-up message if the setting should be saved for future emails.
Ask your subscribers to add your address to their contacts. Emails from contacts are handled differently, and better.

Here is a link to the issue online if for some reason you cannot access it.

Thanks for reading and sharing!

“Fake Famous” and the Tedium of Influencer Culture

The HBO documentary “Fake Famous” opens on a seemingly beatific scene: in the golden sunlight of Los Angeles, to the strains of an operatic score, we see a string of young, seemingly carefree people, posing in front of a hot-pink wall.
