Creators build culture. Ownership builds legacy. Structure protects value. My work sits at the intersection of all three.

this is the worst club football season of all time. Shearer and Gary Lineker called this out a long time ago.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’ve been looking for this for YEARS and I finally found it. The Prince Show SNL skit with: Janet Jackson as “Paula Abdul” Maya Rudolph as “Beyonce” Kenan Thompson as “Steve Harvey” and Fred Armisen as “Prince”

What a finish. What a player. What a moment. #MUFC

My cousin Wale joined a dating app in Pretoria and matched with a woman who said her name was Thandi. Her profile said she loved hiking, jazz, and deep conversations about the meaning of life. Wale said he also loved all 3 things. He had never hiked in his life. The first date was at a botanical garden. Wale wore hiking boots he had bought that morning. The sales assistant had asked if he was a serious hiker. Wale said he was a serious romantic. The assistant sold him socks too. Thandi arrived in sandals and a sundress. She looked at his boots. She asked if he was planning to climb a mountain. Wale said the mountain was metaphorical. Thandi said metaphors were for men who couldn't commit to actual terrain. They argued about hiking for 20 minutes. Then about jazz. Thandi said her favourite artist was Hugh Masekela. Wale said he also loved Hugh Masekela. Thandi asked him to name one album. Wale said The Best of Hugh Masekela. She stared at him. He stared back. Then she laughed so hard a security guard came over to check if she was okay. They have been married for 4 years. Wale now owns 3 pairs of hiking boots and can name every Masekela album. He still cannot hike. Thandi says the boots are a monument to the best lie she ever caught. The meaning of life, they have discovered, is not a deep conversation. It is watching someone fail at pretending and deciding they are worth the mess. Love is a lie you both agree to laugh about forever.

@UtdKlay @grok did Welbeck really say this?

🚨Danny Welbeck on why he did the “Siuuu” celebration: 🗣️ Welbeck: “I’ve scored against Liverpool… now Chelsea. Maybe I don’t score for Manchester United anymore, but I still bleed for the club. If what I do helps them reach the Champions League, I’m happy with that. Not every legend has to still be inside the building.” “And yeah, the celebration… that’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s. I did it with meaning. I figured the United fans deserved to see a proper academy lad hit the Siuuu, instead of someone who forgot what a privilege it is to wear that shirt.” “If Alejandro Garnacho wants to take it how he wants, that’s up to him… but some of us never forget where we come from or what that badge really means.” #mufc

You KNOW they hated hearing that 😂 Ruff Ryders CEO Dee corrects Tony Yayo about JAY-Z & tells him he’s a solid dude. When JAY-Z became the president of Def Jam, DMX was in debt at the label for at least $8M. Hov cleared the debt & let him go to a competitor. & Hov never told this story, Dee did.

Origins of Purple Rain, Purple Rain' was originally written as a country song, and was intended to be a collaboration with Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks. According to Nicks, she received a 10-minute instrumental version of the song from Prince, with a request to write the lyrics, but she felt overwhelmed by the task. She later said: "I listened to it and I just got scared. I called him back and said, 'I can't do it. I wish I could. It's too much for me.'" Prince then asked his backing band to try the song: "I want to try something before we go home. It's mellow." According to Lisa Coleman, Prince changed the song dramatically after Wendy Melvoin started playing the guitar to accompany the song: "He was excited to hear it voiced differently. It took it out of that country feeling. "Then we all started playing it a bit harder and taking it more seriously. We played it for six hours straight and by the end of that day we had it mostly written and arranged." Prince's explanation on the meaning of 'Purple Rain': "When there's blood in the sky – red and blue = purple... purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/god guide you through the purple rain." After recording the song, Prince phoned Journey member Jonathan Cain, to ask him to listen to it. Prince was concerned that it might be too similar to Journey's 'Faithfully', a song composed by Cain which had recently been in the US charts. However, Cain reassured Prince by saying that the songs only shared the same four chords. "I thought it was an amazing tune," Cain said. "I told him, 'Man, I'm just super-flattered that you even called. It shows you're that classy of a guy. Good luck with the song. I know it's gonna be a hit.'"
