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

The new ownership group clearly does not.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that Cuban would have NEVER traded Luka.
At least, that's what I'm choosing to believe 🤣
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...
Tbf, even though I later became a Potter head, The Patriot was also my first encounter with that actor 🤣
Can definitely relate
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 🤣
But the curiosity gap! 🤣
The temporal prematurity of children's bedtime is directly correlated to the degree of parental hangover. In this essay I will
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.
Stone bridge in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Small but mighty, haha
I also don't tend to go to the gym and work out for 8 straight hours 🤣
Plus, the theme of seeking and failing for acceptance is much easier to portray romantically than platonically when you have so many other story lines to tackle
You make a good point, but I wonder if it's a strategic dramatic choice as a proxy for him not really having friends. Like, in the film, all his friends were eventually cofounders, and there's only so many characters you can introduce in 2 hours...
Oh it's way harder than going to the gym 🤣
... Hot or Not is a thing that happened. Pretty incel-coded behavior, no?
Just savagely uncool ghouls all the way down.
As it turns out, you can't buy clout, coolness or friends.
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.
#parenthood amirite?
Mo Salah the first ever player in the Prem to register 10+ goals and 10+ assists by Xmas Day. Huge story the mainstream media is missing 🤣
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 🤣
#LFC #YNWA #MoSalah
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.
Mos Def is criminally underrated. Easily my favorite MC. Truncated discography, but bar for bar, one of the best to ever do it.
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)
"A cut above the rest"... that's worth at least $1000 as a pun on its own 🤣
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
tbf though... they are majestic calves. If you had to pick one set of calves to pin your hopes on... it'd probably be those bad boys
