@ADralega @aakashgupta @IkwapMatthew Reputation is a fairly narrow lens to use on what Daniel is able to do, yeah. "Random" probably isn't capturing what he's doing, either, but he's definitely exploring.

@aakashgupta @IkwapMatthew Reputation?
Isn't he free to just explore random interests now?

The show is called Every Brilliant Thing, and the math on why Daniel Radcliffe is doing it tells you everything about how wealth actually works.
Radcliffe earned roughly $95 million from the Harry Potter franchise between ages 11 and 21. His parents set up a holding company called Gilmore Jacobs Ltd. to manage the money. UK Companies House filings show it held £96.3 million in net assets as of early 2024, growing by an estimated £500,000 per month from investment returns alone. That's approximately $7.6 million per year in passive income before he picks up a script.
The Broadway numbers are small by comparison. The Hudson Theatre seats 970. At a $144 average ticket price and 98% capacity, the show grosses about $137,000 per performance. Eight shows a week puts weekly gross around $1.1 million. A lead actor's Broadway salary tops out around $100,000-150,000 per week. Over a 13-week limited run, Radcliffe's total take from Every Brilliant Thing is probably $1.3 to $2 million.
His investment portfolio generates that in roughly two months of doing nothing.
So why is he on 44th Street spending 20 minutes before every show handing out numbered cue cards, recruiting strangers to play his dad and his wife, then performing 85 minutes straight with no intermission, no co-stars, and a different audience every night?
Because at $110 million in net worth with a 35-year compounding runway behind him, the returns on career capital now exceed the returns on financial capital. Every role like this, every Tony (he won last year for Merrily We Roll Along), every five-star review builds the résumé that keeps him working on exactly the projects he wants for the next 40 years.
Radcliffe said it himself: "I want to be able to keep finding reasons to come back to Broadway for as long as I am physically capable of doing so."
The guy who got rich playing a wizard figured out the one thing most wealthy people never learn: once the portfolio compounds on its own, the optimal move is to spend your time on work that compounds your reputation instead.

Went to my second ever broadway show the other week and it was a one-man performance by Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter. He spends the 20 minutes before every show handing out props and recruiting people to interact with him during the show. Never seen someone so dialled in. Was an amazing performance, 1.5 hours straight, no intermission. He does this night after night. Did some math with Claude and he probably makes $50K per week which is great $$ but still considerably less than what he would make for a movie role. His parents also helped him invest his Harry Potter earnings well and he makes $660K/month just off investments (UK companies are required to make full financial disclosures, very different from the US but very useful for this kind of pocket watching). Which means he never has to work again he just continues to do this for the love of the game. These kinds of in-person experiences and acts of passion are one of the few things that can’t be replaced by AI Oh also he does not like it when you call him Harry or bring up his old movies. Ask me how I know.

@jgmac1106 @WhiteHouse And the reason he is still mad at Mueller is how close he came to having consequences evaporate his standing.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon, twice impeached, adjudicated sexual abuser, business fraud, and failed russian money launderer who stole tens of thousands of pages of documents from the @WhiteHouse including National Defense Secrets after trying to overthrow the US Gov

Have you been in Donald Trump’s shoes? No. You’ve never had your family and business hounded by prosecutors based on allegations they knew were false. Going after family is over the line. Polite is out the window.

@jgmac1106 It is also rich people talk for "I wanna get high." Which tends to follow tiny whispers of "what's the point of all this, anyway?"

This is rich people talk for I found Jesus in a Cracker Barrel parking lot.

@_brinked @OliverWDahl Also great, Daniel Abraham's The Dagger and the Coin series, which has the added benefit of being concluded.

@tab_delete @Stanford Ah, there's the soft pitch for that pardon. If their check hasn't cleared, though, it will all be for naught.

.@Stanford law school profs Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried went on CNN yesterday to defend their son who is in prison for misappropriating funds at FTX.
“I think that Sam was the victim of an out of control prosecution and I know that Trump himself feels he was,” Fried said.

@edgarrmcgregor Also the trend over time is pretty stark.

Snowpack is nose-diving across the west right now.
The Upper Colorado-Dirty Devil Basin has half as much snowpack as it's previous daily record LOW for March 21st.
To say it is bad is an understatement.

Ok this is cool but did you know the United States has found a way to take out an Iranian missile with a single F-35 at a cost of only $100 million?

China has invented a process that can turn desert sand into fertile soil in less than a year. They use lab-grown microbes to bind sand together and create firm ground, allowing plants to grow in areas that were uninhabitable.

@CantEverDie I'd bet money on Trump trying some mid-negotiation ambush, first, to no clear effect, a bit more quagmire, and then trying real negotiations once the economy is unquestionably spiraling.

if this is accurate, iran is easily going to come out on top. no idea how this will be anything other than a clear US/israeli failure
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter
BREAKING: More details emerge on a potential peace deal between the US and Iran, per Axios. Details include: 1. US officials say there could be "room to negotiate" over returning frozen assets to Iran 2. "They call it reparations. Maybe we call it return of frozen money," the official said 3. US says any deal to end the war would need to include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, address Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and also establish a long-term agreement on Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles and support for proxies in the region 4. Iranian demands include a ceasefire, guarantees that the war will not resume in the future, and compensation We expect an eventful week ahead.

@KevinlyFather @PastorAlexLove If they did hold it still, it would be a fairly unremarkable picture of a cloud.

@devisridhar Collectively produced, proprietary profits.

Exact same issue for me- I know my previous books and articles have been used to train AI (looking at you anthropic)- & when I run previous articles (written pre-AI) into AI checkers, they can come back as high as 90% AI. It's not artificial intelligence- it's collective human intelligence.
Adam Kay@amateuradam
I ran some of my writing through an AI checker. 29.7% robot-generated! Thing is, it obviously wasn't. Ethical and creative reasons aside, the book in question is nearly a decade old - well before technology could do this. 1/3

@zakfilm Two things can be true: Zhao is a really good director, AND it just wasn't working on this particular project. It happens all the time. People taking sides when they know next to nothing about what happened behind the scenes is silly. It's he said versus she said.
English
Hollywood studios and media outlets do this thing where they blame the director for the problems of a project not going to plan when really what they mean here is that Chloe Zhao knew what to shoot and did her job but they wanted more and more unnecessary footage to be able to edit and distort her and the showrunners vision as a way to water down the reboot and take away their original style that would have worked.
Even taking digs at the lead actor to make it seem their fault for falling through. Zhao saw right through the tricks and left as one should.
Variety@Variety
EXCLUSIVE: Sources say Chloé Zhao ultimately proved a mismatch for the “Buffy” reboot, with the pilot reportedly undershot and lacking coverage, requiring reshoots. Her filmmaking style, while acclaimed, didn’t translate to a dialogue-heavy TV pilot, and the new cast’s performances were said to be under-directed, making it difficult for the characters to land. variety.com/2026/tv/news/b…

@VinceMancini There's an odd elision in this story. Despite only spending a paltry number of hours with this kid, in parenting terms, Elon *could* flex that he's still managed to pass on his values. But he won't, because he knows it makes him look like a shitty dad.

Dudes family moved to South Africa specifically for the apartheid and he named a kid “Saxon.” Crazy to think there was ever a time when everyone didn’t know he was a Nazi.

@Tumbrilcart @VinceMancini And "We do not serve that, here" is a valid answer from a kitchen. They don't have an infinite supply of all possible foods in there.

@bobsalpha1 @VinceMancini @RadioFreeTom Social cues and menu literacy. Either would help, both are lacking.
English
@VinceMancini @RadioFreeTom Your child not knowing what a sushi restaurant is, and having a poor understanding of social cues, seems like an odd thing to be proud of.

@TheEagle3030 @VinceMancini The irony being that is off the menu at his stupid diner 🤭
Which also actually doesn't seem to serve milk.

@VinceMancini Shocked the story didn’t end with Saxon ordering an Epic Bacon.
English
@writetothedeath @VinceMancini To be fair, the kid had to pick it up remotely and from yearly visits, because Elon does *not* parent.
