People vastly overuse Michelin as a signal for food quality!
Most places now pay to get in the guide: Dubai, Miami, Atlanta, Austin, and Boston all paid.
Boston even funds it through a hotel surcharge.
…Of course France has the most Michelin restaurants. Michelin is a French tire company that started the guide 125 years ago to sell tires to French motorists.
But french food isn’t better because Michelin says it is!

On food: France has 600+ Michelin Star restaurants. The US has ~200, despite a population 5x larger. A €5 bottle of wine in Spain beats a $25 bottle in California. A €2 espresso in Rome beats a $7 oat milk latte in Brooklyn. This isn't snobbery. It's math per dollar.

Rick Beato is right — only rich kids are breaking through in music these days. I remember San Francisco when regular people could start bands, rehearse cheap, and actually build national audiences. Now? Platforms like Gather let you tip great artists directly with #Bitcoin. It’s a public vote of confidence + real artistic freedom. Artists get paid what they deserve and don’t have to bow to gatekeepers. The future of music is fan-powered. What do you think?

@FluentInFinance The cynical view is that Jensen Huang KNOWS how problematic that tax is for founders of newer, but ILLIQUID companies that might compete with NVDIA.

The confounding factor is that virtually every big company is overstaffed by 2-4x and has been for decades. AI is the catalyst/excuse to finally fix that. Of course nobody wants to say this out loud.

One bearish sign of all the AI layoffs is that the companies couldn't figure out how to produce even more by keeping the people and adding AI. I'm not entirely sure how to think about this.

He took a regional TV station and created cable media as we know it today. We studied him in college when my major was broadcasting. I once delivered the fax to him at the Fairmont hotel he was short and dismissive, not pleasant at all to me but that doesn’t take away what he accomplished. An amazing entrepreneur.

Jane Fonda pays tribute to her former husband, Ted Turner:
“He swept into my life, a gloriously handsome, deeply romantic, swashbuckling pirate and I’ve never been the same,” Fonda wrote on Instagram. “He needed me. No one had ever let me know they needed me, and this wasn’t your average human being that needed me, this was the creator of CNN, and Turner Classic Movies, who had won the America’s Cup as the world’s greatest sailor. He had a big life, a brilliant mind and a soaring sense of humor."
“He could also take care of me. That was new as well. To be needed and cared for simultaneously is transformative. Ted Turner helped me believe in myself. He gave me confidence. I think I did the same for him, but that’s what women are raised to do. Men like Ted aren’t supposed to express need and vulnerability. That was Ted’s greatest strength, I believe."

Rep. Thomas Massie says glyphosate is sprayed on ripe wheat to dry it before harvest.
He says the crop is one step away from bread when it is hit with poison.
Europe banned it, but Washington still allows it.

Again, been saying this for 10 years. They locked working class people out the game so you have nothing to relate to, just idols to worship with rags-to-riches, Cinderella stories for you to escape into fantasy, rather than inspire change in confronting reality.
Smartacus@fivestarmichael
The reason everything seems so fake is because the working-class has been squeezed out of the music business, journalism, TV and movie production. Some interesting introspection from Rick Beato. Why Only Rich Kids Make It In Music Today

Is this regulation banning gas water heaters actually really happening in the entire Bay Area in California?
It will turn replacing your water heater into a catastrophically expensive event
“A broken water heater will soon become thousands of dollars more expensive to replace in the Bay Area, as regulators move to phase out gas-powered models.
Starting next year, many homeowners will be required to replace broken gas-powered water heaters with electric heat pump models, a swap that is on average $3,500 more expensive”
