OMG it’s finally over. These platinums are SO grind heavy. Like 15 hours getting map pieces dude.
Thanks! Also I learned a new word today, “asportation”, which seems to indicate they could be equally accused of either unlawful restraint or kidnapping! Not great.
Very funny that the promotional poster on LinkedIn for a webinar I am a panelist for in late July used a GenAI slop version of my face and both of my co-panelists! If I'm quick about it, the plastic surgery needed to match me to the advert should be JUST ABOUT done by the time the webinar goes up!
Continual 🧵 of music that has been great this year Are you currently living within a calendar year? If so, Devin Townsend is probably releasing AT LEAST ONE album. This year we got The Moth, a work that’s been in production for a decade and it’s insanely good. Heavy metal meets opera.
Continual 🧵 of music that has been great this year Anyone who knows the Buddha Bar series will know that DJ Ravin is easily the best of their mixologists. He is on track to release TWO compilations in 2026, the first which came out on my birthday. The next is out on July 3rd
Really excited to see Ferrari's first EV was designed by Apple's Jonny Ive.
The 2nd season of The Night Manager was so good. It’s funny to read stupid reviews that chimed in negatively after the FIRST of 6 episodes, claiming it wasn’t worth the wait. Trust me, it was. Roll on season 3.
Spotlights supporting A.A. Williams at Brudenell Social Club last night was awesome. Epic pairing of two acts I was really wanting to see live.
These CPB shooters of Pretti had years of experience and training. Training isn’t the issue.

At least Neom the Line isn’t quite as broken as the FT’s pricing module
Perusing Scott Adams’ underwhelming Wikipedia page, I finally found something to be thankful to Donald Trump for.
Harlan Coben’s Run Away on @netflix.com is set in the Horizon Zero Dawn universe.
Happy 10th anniversary to this absolute beast of a photo by Joel Goodman. With the Alt Text it deserves. Happy New Year.
Rest in Peace Rob Reiner. God tier filmmaker with arguably THE defining run of the 1980s. Enduring legend. Deserved a better exit.
