Had a ticket to last night. Gave it to my friend's son for his first ever match because of band practice.
He witnessed this moment.
A Sporting fan told me: "That kid will never stop being from Benfica after that."
I'm gutted. But I think I made the right choice.

Ukrainian GOALKEEPER Anatoliy Trubin, who plays for Benfica Lisbon, scored the decisive goal in the last minutes of the match against Real Madrid and sent his team to the Champions League knockout stage.

What strikes me about this is the ease at which videos with fake nonsense can be made/shared/trick people compared with effort it takes to get to the truth or show the reality. You see same in health/wellness and it feels like such an uphill battle… more power to those putting in the work
This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...
Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?
We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

It just occurred to me that this is actually a GDPR violation. More than one even...
Another day, another bill for someone else's account - because apparently my email belongs to a stranger according to a major telecom provider.
The irony? I've been getting laughs telling this story at conferences. They have no idea they're now part of my material.

Fixing the real problems that slow teams down is hard. Much easier to say teams should use AI. And if teams arent faster, they arent using AI well.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

If this is what they are doing with the AI, what do you think they are doing with the much simpler and easier to control algorithm that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are seen by others?
