Fantastic story/ set of visualisations (screenshots don’t do justice to the full interactive versions) from @financialtimes.com showing the utter grandiose folly of Neom / The Line... ig.ft.com/saudi-neom-l...

Flicking through Nick Hornby's 31 Songs - generally kinda sloppy, specifically he **really* doesn't get hip-hop - his example of "this song adds nothing to the sample" is Rakim's "I Know You Got Soul", which yes has a debt to Byrd but also has flows on it that basically reinvented the genre 🤦♂️🎤

Enjoyed latest Odd Lots with @tracyalloway.bsky.social @weisenthal.bsky.social talking to Raphael Bostic from Atlanta Fed bloom.bg/3GYMcE2.
Discussion of how current reality plus pandemic overhang make hiring predictions tricky was especially fascinating; tried to diagram to help my understanding.
