I hope I never under-appreciate the value of having friends who are willing to pray Salah anywhere we may be.

The brightest star in the league is a 7-foot-4 Avenger who does postgame press conferences like a philosopher, professes his love for the game whenever he can, goes all out for his teammates and talks recklessly to opponents like 97 Rodman. I mean, this is incredible.

I went on a date with a guy who worked for American Youth Soccer. He said basically American men's has never won a world cup because we don't have kids playing soccer in the street and Brazilian soccer is so influenced by kids playing in tight streets. Mamdani has a 30 year plan

Fact: He traveled there for his cooking show & when they tried to block this one episode, he said he would pull his entire show from the network & this was the first time the world ever saw behind the walls in Gaza 2013

Mr Tottenham Never ever forget it.

Ange seeing everyone praising this football to the skies, after getting constantly criticized for playing exactly like this

One of the best takes I’ve seen on AI. Humans just aren’t designed to make their life as efficient as possible.

When are tech folk going to get that people like wasting time, it's life. They don't optimize for efficiency, they try to get by, they watch dumb stuff, they enjoy shopping. Inefficiency is another work for living and life. Your m mean and median job isn't a software engineer in Menlo Park, it's Ashley in accounts in a not for profit in Columbus, it's Jesse , the office manager for a tool rental business in Tallahassee, they are more likely to use a Fax machine than Slack. They quite like meetings because they like chatting, they'll use AI to make a better invite to their baby shower, not agentify their job. These people, nor their bosses boss, aren't in a rush to build software as a side hustle, they are keen to use AI to check if their vet is overcharging them. They'd like AI to check spelling on the email to the school governor. They don't want agentic commerce, they want AI to be in the background and make living a little less stressful

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

let me get this straight a team will not be playing in the FIFA World Cup because they are currently being bombed by the FIFA Peace Prize winner

I saw a quote that said “to procrastinate is to willingly endure the discomfort of anticipation, rather than the discomfort of action. Both are burdens, but only one leads to progress” and if that didn’t light a fire in me.

i was reading Surah An’am and found a verse that says, “Your Lord has made it obligatory upon Himself to be merciful to you.” i stopped, put my Quran down, and just sat there amazed, the one who doesn’t need anything from me has made it a rule for Himself to show me mercy? 1/2

learning how to tell when advice is really just someone else’s regret in disguise. your divorced friend cautioning you about marriage, your broke uncle’s take on investments, your unhappy parent steering your career. they are not advising you. they are processing themselves. once you learn to hear the wound behind the words you stop letting lost people give you directions.

open the schools

it’s actually wild how locked in Zohran is rn he’s literally just speedrunning through every issue in the city and fixing it

Seven days ago Netflix walked away from an $83 billion deal for Warner Bros. The stock jumped 12%. Wall Street cheered the discipline. And the very first move Netflix makes with its newly preserved balance sheet is buying a 16-person AI startup that's been in stealth mode for four years. That's the signal. Netflix looked at two paths to competitive advantage: spend $83 billion to acquire a legacy content library, or spend an undisclosed sum (almost certainly sub-$100M) to acquire technology that changes the economics of every piece of content you produce going forward. The math on InterPositive is what matters. Netflix spends ~$20 billion a year on content. VFX and post-production typically run 20-25% of a production budget. That's $4-5 billion annually flowing through color correction, relighting, environment work, and continuity fixes. If InterPositive's dailies-trained model can reduce even 10-15% of that post workflow, you're looking at $400-750 million in annual savings that compound across every title in the slate. And Sarandos already told you the strategy in 2024: "There's a better business and a bigger business in making content 10% better than making it 50% cheaper." InterPositive lets Netflix do both. Train a model on a production's own footage, use it to fix continuity errors, adjust lighting, handle environment work. The filmmaker stays in control. The post-production timeline compresses. Quality goes up. Cost per title goes down. What Affleck built is also strategically different from what every other AI company is doing. Sora, Runway, Kling, they all generate video from text prompts. InterPositive trains on a production's actual dailies and works within the existing filmmaking pipeline. That distinction matters because it means Netflix can offer this to creators without triggering the "AI is replacing artists" alarm that nearly shut down Hollywood in 2023. Netflix just walked away from the biggest media acquisition in history. Its first acquisition after? A 16-person team that could reshape the cost structure of a $20 billion content machine. That tells you where the leverage is moving.

This coaching carousel is insane. Nearly a third of the league looking for new coaches. Each of the last 2 MVP winning QBs (one a 2x winner), both in their primes, looking for new HC’s. One of the most historic franchises, with only 3 HC’s since 1969 looking for a new one.

This quote stopped me in my tracks.

finally, we're living through precedented times

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in U.S. courts. So the position now seems to be that U.S. courts can prosecute foreign presidents, but not hold the U.S. president accountable for crimes.
