When we talk about the Creator Economy, it's all too easy to get distracted by the proverbial picks and shovels being developed to serve those digital-first artists. After all, 50 startups raised more than $2 billion in the first half of 2021. But what's lost in the excitement about these companies are the people making the work that delights us. That's why we're launching a series of profiles of up-and-coming creators and how they're managing the platforms, pressures, and opportunities of the Creator Economy, starting with a comedian whose unexpected TikTok virality has changed his life.

- Lambda rises: What you need to know
- As the delta variant continues to spread, another emerging COVID-19 variant is now worrying scientists and public health organizations all over the world. It’s called the lambda variant.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) has labeled the lambda variant a “variant of interest.” That means it hasn’t risen to the more worrisome level of “variant of concern,” a level that includes the delta variant.
- Another reason for the lackluster debut is the fact that Deliveroo has so far never made a profit.
- It’s still early days, so very little is known about lambda’s transmissibility or the extent to which current vaccines will remain effective.
