You guys. I'm on cloud 9 right now. My book is "done" (with beta readers right now, needs a lot more work) and it's good!

Good enough to be published? Who knows. Better than I thought it would be!

On to start planning the next one!

if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.

the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear.

do not offer it to them.

"To put it in abstract economic terms: The opportunity cost of retaining Musk as CEO is selling more cars. But the returns to the company’s stock price for being near Musk’s money pile swamp the returns that would accrue from selling more cars."

Jonathan V. Last @jvl.bsky.social · 21d

The market is saying that TSLA is a $1 trillion company selling 1.5m cars w/ Elon as CEO; but might only be a $50 billion if it sold 4.5m cars w/ Satya Nadella as CEO.

What does it mean if the market is correct about this? www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-musk-...

I got into drawing little doodles. I'm not good but its something you can do even in meetings when you're stressed.

I'm an author (still) finishing my first book. I'd love to see how it breaks down by genre and audience if there's enough data. My theory is it has more to do with specific audience than where readers are in general. Kinda hope I'm wrong.

I used to see a lot of "don't mess with Texas" shirts and I remember thinking Chicago could totally mess with Texas.

“Unfortunately, the toilets have never made a profit, they have never even been cost neutral.”

Insane quote...

Public toilets in Whitby are ‘drain’ on council finances with ‘urgent’ action required

Whitby’s public toilets are a ‘drain’ on the town council’s finances and have resulted in more than £85,000 of above income expenditure since 2018.
