For this week's episode of @onthemedia I'm working on a part 2 of the story I did about @bobuubi , the Ukrainian Twitch streamer whose devoted online community and video game skills helped his family survive the war. Can't wait for y'all to hear the follow up :)

I had brief stint hanging out with Adrien Grenier (OTM fan). Went to his apt for dinner. He came to mine for a couple parties. A couple years later, after we’d lost touch he texted me: “are you free on Wednesday?” Then 5 mins later: “sorry wrong number”

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce this Friday will mark the end of Let's Get That Ched, my daily crypto podcast. I wish we could continue but my staff of (ungrateful) interns have decided to unionize. I have no choice but to sunset this beloved program 1/3

Here's my first piece for @washingtonpost / @LauncherWP , about @bobuubi , a Polish-Ukrainian Twitch streamer, known for playing the Russian FPS Escape From Tarkov, who safely navigated the war zone with help from his devoted online community:

Escape from Ukraine

One Twitch streamer in Ukraine used to joke he was playing the Russian war game "Escape From Tarkov" in real life. "Now it's no longer a joke," he says.
