This Might Be the Last Email You Get From Me

I saw a $390 charge from Kit (formerly ConvertKit) on my card, almost double what I paid last year. So instead of paying it, I'm moving my newsletter, Sunday Doughnuts, onto an email platform I built myself with Grok Bot. I don't even know yet if it'll work. Also: why I think software companies are about to go the way of newspapers, just a whole lot faster. And I recorded this whole thing with 25 minutes before school pickup, so yeah, you have time.
