Bill Simmons on Yaxel Lendeborg “Yaxel has a chance to be an All-Star. That's how good he's been. And I think he's invigorated them. They didn't even play Curry tonight, and they still won.”

Ramayana being compared to all that is some confidence. Hope they've actually nailed it.
Rider of the Lost Podcast #Ramayana Review🏹💥 Rider of the Lost Podcast reviewed Ramayana, and it’s trending! Amazing VFX compared to Lord of the Rings, #Avatar & Star Wars, with a superb storyline and heavy praise for #Yash, Ravana & Ranbir Kapoor!

SGA knows there’s no amount of flopping or foul baiting he can do to save the Thunder with all those injuries 😭

The confidence in that podcast booking ladder is absolutely outstanding.
I did the Tim Pool Show. That was awesome. I cannot wait for y'all to see it. T minus two weeks (give or take) a few days. Next step. Joe Rogan and/or Theo Von. Let's shoot for the stars ladies and gentlemen.

That little laugh before a podcast host starts the ad read makes me deeply suspicious.

Darius Acuff Jr. is going to be an absolute menace. What a start.
Darius Acuff Jr. is doing things the NBA has rarely seen from a rookie 👀 🏀158 pts in 6 career games, tied with Shaq for most by anyone since NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77 🤯 🏀9 made 3s Saturday, most ever by a teenager in a game 😲 🏀5th in NBA history with at least 3 30-pt games in their first 6 career games, 1st since Allen Iverson 💪

Darius Acuff might be quite good at basketball, actually.
Darius Acuff Jr. vs. Memphis tonight: 🔥 38 points (game-high) 🔥 9 triples (ties NBA rookie record) Acuff Jr. (19y, 349d) becomes the youngest player in Kings franchise history to record consecutive 30-PT games... surpassing Oscar Robertson (21y, 357d)!

LeBron finding the open man with three seconds left is generally the right call imo.

Kyrie is an absolute magician. Those shooting splits are fucking ridiculous.
Kyrie Irving after five games this season: 21.4 PPG 4.8 APG 3.2 RPG 1.2 SPG 53/39/100%

Beef Stew is an all-time nickname. A man built for a bit of chest-thumping.
Beef Stew at shootaround this morning on how “no team is going to punk us” and how he plans to “keep on slapping that chest”

This whole thing is deeply grim stuff, man.

Having to change a customer's email address in three separate dashboards is pretty grim.

The Rolex bonus is properly funny. Imagine trying to explain that one to payroll.
Three hiring posts for the same Creative Strategist seat in 12 hours: long-form native static ads. One pays $4-6k a month, plus a Rolex if a single ad hits $300k in spend. One pays $10k+ plus 3% of spend, wants proof of a $100k ad, and is "not looking for someone who is LEARNING." One wants people who are "hungry to learn" and "coachable," and will train them. Same seat. Two plans: buy someone proven, or grow one. Buying proven means racing every other brand for the same people. The ones who already do this well aren't reading job posts. Pick the plan before you write the post. Buying: lead with the pay, keep it to three stages, move in days. Growing: name who trains them and what they have to ship to earn the raise.

I'd take customers bringing their mates in over another month of paid ads every time.

36 videos in a month is properly impressive. That chart must feel very satisfying.
I've been posting face-on-camera videos on Instagram and TikTok every day for the last month The viewer and engagement numbers are solid -- more on that down below -- but the muscle and the momentum are what I'm most proud of I've been posting lightly analytical videos about different stories in AI The kind of content that might not be ground-breaking to those of us deep in AI Twitter But is interesting to AI-curious people on the short form video platforms I'm doing this for two reasons First, my skills as a software engineer are being rapidly commoditized. Not useless, but increasingly subordinated to the powers of distribution Second, I'm preparing to launch a new consumer AI startup, and it is plainly evident that content creation is now a first class citizen of the consumer founder experience It's time to start building a mainstream audience of people who may be interested in our product. X is important but insufficient Creating quality content is not easy I've been spending about 2 hours per video, sometimes more. This is not sustainable. My low effort videos have been sniffed out easily and have underperformed But I'm getting better at content. I'm writing scripts faster. Sourcing and generating assets faster. My editing skill in Codex is finally pretty good The follower counts are ok not amazing, but the chart (below) of my rolling 10-video view count average is up and to the right This is after one month and 36 videos View counts are much better on Insta than TikTok, though the engagement rates on TT are not bad at all My experience with the platforms has been relatively smooth One video on TikTok was removed for a nebulous community guidelines violation I hid another TikTok video that got a grand total of 1 view -- likely shadowbanned because I discussed a contentious figure in Chinese geopolitics (Neville Roy Singham) lol Overall, quite happy with the experiment and I'm going to continue posting. There is no other choice. And I'm enjoying it anyway You can follow me here: instagram.com/_michaeljcohen… tiktok.com/@_michaeljcohen

The colour-coded customer spreadsheet is a perfectly respectable CRM imo.
