In my new role as business founder & entrepreneur, I spend a lot of time authoring content for my b2b clients on LinkedIn. Love the platform, but the content is... kind of shit. It's a sea of sameness... a cacophony of cringe. So I wrote a bit about how to fix it

Almost Famous is a perfect movie. I will not be taking questions at this time.

"General Interference with Organizations and Production" from the Simple Sabotage Field Manual, courtesy of the Office of Strategic Services circa 1944.

No specific reason why I'm posting this.

(It also describes most shitty bosses I've ever had to a T... so there's that too, hahaha)

For no particular reason, just dropping this for some light reading

I think one of the refreshing things about when @mcuban.bsky.social owned my fav Mavs is that he was one of the first fan owners. He seemed like every bit the fan I am. He understood it isn't "just a business" — people love the team, special players, in a way that transcends sports...

I do not understand how we don't end up with 8 unprotected first round picks and at least 2 All Stars if we were determined to trade Luka. Hoooowwwwww is this all we got?!?

Also, the line about us wanting to move him because of "conditioning concerns" is the dumbest shit I've ever heard 🤣
The worst trade in the history of all professional sports. I am despondent. Purple and gold forever I guess.

Been watching Moana at least every other day thanks to the toddler.

You would think rewatching the same Disney movie over and over would grate... but every fucking time she sings "I am MOANA!" it gets me.

Slaps every single time.

I remember at the time thinking The Social Network was a movie written by a boomer bitterly lamenting a digital world passing him by... which explains him shitting on Zuck and Facebook.

God did Sorkin see through eeeeeverything and nail the reality of the situation dead to rights.

That defensive call was atrocious from Texas there. Why are you blitzing your secondary and dropping your linebackers in that situation?!? Just play prevent defense ffs!

tfw you get a (greatly appreciated) cash gift for Xmas from your grandmother... only to realize it will immediately go to helping cover January's daycare payment instead of buying anything fun or indulgent for yourself.

The key to winning premiere league games is to just employ the best player on earth and have him score and assist every single game. It really is that simple 🤣

I just could not be less interested in the drone story. Maybe I'm weird, but I honestly could not care less if I tried.

One of the best articles I've read this year.

Perfectly describes my feelings about existing online today (but couldn't quite put my finger on myself)
Newsletter: Our digital lives are unregulated growth-hacked ecological disasters. The modern tech ecosystem's growth-at-all-costs mindset is actively harming billions of people, pushing them toward authoritarianism for profit. We must fight back.

Never Forgive Them
In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting wor...

Feels like Fulham had 2 legit dangerous moments, got beneficial deflections on each, and stole a point there...

Red on Robbo was suspect, a couple of non-calls on clear carding situations... feels like we got a bit robbed karmically speaking.

Great to have Jota back. Phenomenal fight back #YNWA

The Spotify Wrapped "genres" are unhinged this year

"Royalcore Ballroom Classical"

Wtf is that? It's just "classical"

'Cowboy Carter' is "Wild West Strut Pop"

The Texas Gentlemen are "Psychedelic Jam Band Americana"

Literally where do they come up with this nonsense, hahaha
