Charlie Worsell's first day as an internet content creator did not get off to the smoothest

of starts.

I was like, okay, like crack your knuckles, like it's time to go and start day one as an

entrepreneur.

It was Tuesday, and Charlie had just left a job as an opinion writer at the New York Times

to start a newsletter.

The only laptop I had at the time was the New York Times laptop.

And it's like, I can get like another like day out of this, you know, and I opened it

up and it was just like completely wiped, just like locked, like enter in, you know,

administrator passcode and I was just like, and his subscribers, many of whom were

shelling out $6 a month or 65 a year, we're expecting a post.

You know, it's day one, you got to like deliver for these people who are now paying you

money to subscribe to, you know, your publication.

So I opened up my phone and I just started like, all right, let's blog.

I'm seriously blogging from my phone.

So yeah, where Galaxy Brain is off to a roaring start.

Galaxy Brain is the name of Charlie's newsletter.

It comes from this meme with a picture of a brain and a series of expanding thoughts.

Each one more grandiose and ludicrous than the next.

And like a lot of things on the internet, it's a meme about the internet and how it gets into

our heads. It's a joke, but it's also sort of not.

That duality mirrors Charlie's life right now.
