Good morning 🌤️ Two things happened this past week that cannot be ignored but also, decidedly, cannot get any more coverage, so we’ll say this: A high-ranking government official in Equatorial Guinea almost caused a war and an epidemic in one day, and Trump mumbled and insulted his way into what Israel’s self-interested PM called “history’s greatest comeback.”

Elsewhere, HubSpot co-founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah sold the Chat.com domain, which he bought for ~15 million, to his friend Sam Altman and OpenAI. Dharmesh said he got mostly OpenAI stock for the domain as he felt bad about profiting off people he considers friends.

Can’t wait to get socks for Christmas this year…from my friends.
