I admire the protagonist of Santa Baby, who, by requesting “the deed to a platinum mine”, signals her intent not only to amass consumer riches, but also to seize the means of production.

I am up at 5 am to hit the gym.
In the cold sobriety of morning, I want to apologize for saying I am “King of Business”.
Authoring a beloved LinkedIn post with more than 250k impressions—a “modern classic” of the genre—is no excuse for such arrogance.
As a thought leader, I must remain humble.

Most people don’t realize that they named it “Netflix” because “net” is a common shortening of “Internet” and “flix” is a slang word for movies. When combined, the meaning is “Internet movies”, an apt description of Netflix’s product offering. Ingenious.
