Volvo posted a 3 min and 46 second ad on Instagram, shot by Hoyte Van Hoytema, the cinematographer of Interstellar and Oppenheimer. It goes against every single rule you can think about as a social lead. Length. Format. Over-produced. Every comment under the ad said it immediately put Volvo in their consideration set. It's fucking fantastic.

I never did like that word FORMER

Just to put this win into context: Arshad Nadeem didn't even have enough money to buy a new javelin. He didn't have proper coaching or a training facility. His village banded together to raise money to send him to the Olympics. Arshad’s win is cinematic.

@donetodeath @themjeans @philipp_plein "So when's the book coming out?" "October" Top HLG. Can't help but love the guy.

How Long Gone #514: @themjeans and I chat with @philipp_plein about Las Vegas, lactose intolerance, why he doesn't drink or do drugs, we ask his partner about G Wagons, treadmill viewing, and what kind of car you have to drive when dating a Russian — howlonggone.com/514-philipp-pl…

@robgcarroll Do you enjoy journaling in an app that gets markedly worse 3x/year?

I've written an entry in Evernote once every few days for the past 11 years AMA

THE BEST LEG OF ALL TIME! 🤯🔥 MICHAEL VAN GERWEN MISSES D12 FOR A NINE-DARTER, AND THEN SMITH PINS A PERFECT LEG HIMSELF! ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS YOU'LL EVER SEE IN SPORT.

This drone shot of Buenos Aires is INCREDIBLE 🔥 (🎥: Ale Petra)

What a feeling! 🇦🇷

@chris_vidmar Very interesting! Didn’t know that. Wild.

@chris_vidmar Curious your take on the Apple Watch Ultra vs. whatever the latest Garmin/etc. stuff is for the types of stuff you do!

@paulg Reminds me of this classic Murakami passage in Norwegian Wood

I know it's not simply because I myself am old that I like old things, because I've been relying on this heuristic since I was about 21. I wonder how I learned it. Possibly working in a library in college; the phenomenon is especially pronounced with books.

I like old things. Old books, old buildings, even old TV shows. The reason is not their oldness per se. It's because something that's old and still seems good is more likely to be genuinely good, rather than simply riding on the coattails of some current fashion.

@cancelevrything @TannerBrockbank It just changes from $500 on groceries to $500 on berries.

Just spent 500 dollars at Whole Foods like it was nothing and my fridge is still half empty... I’m so not ready for kids.

@acoates8 Took a turn I did not expect to be honest.

@davidjohnsonn The plot thickens

Has there ever been a player in any sport as successful as Djokovic but with as few fans? Have you ever met a Djokovic fan in real life?

@acoates8 Update

@acoates8 Found one: apparently my mother-in-law.
