Trump's downside? $250K–$500K in legal if WSJ suit gets tossed under Florida’s anti-SLAPP. Real goal? PR. Defend the brand, pressure the media, and rally supporters. Losing in court is one thing, he can't lose public opinion, grave reputational threat x.com/ASFleischman/s…
The first thing to note about Trump's WSJ lawsuit is that he filed it federally in Florida. In almost every jurisdiction, filing a lawsuit federally helps you avoid the anti-SLAPP statute. But not in Florida.
my fav ozzy clip every cat owner knows this feeling rip legend
Totally embarrassed to say this but I didn’t know Resolution or Feels Like Rain until very I feel like I have just discovered S-tier songwriting x.com/jcpmcs/status/…
New @MotionCityMusic song out now: You Know Who the Fuck We Are. Album arrives 09/19/25. Spread the word, Y’all! 🤘
Belgium invokes universal jurisdiction to detain Israelis? Israel should respond, starting with prosecutions of Belgian officials tied to war crimes in Congo (2003–2006) & Rwanda (1994). They were complicit in civilian massacres and U.N. failures. Lawfare: a two-way street.…
I remember the day I burned the first Coldplay album sitting at my little stairwell computer desk in Chicago in the summer of 2001 (and yes I've bought many of their albums). Thank you Chris for respecting the human rights of the near 8M people that live in Israel.
There are only four tier-1 bands in the bay: Doobies (🌴), jefferson starship(🚀), huey lewis and the news (💎) , montrose (🎸) No other bands are power centers for jams. Sorry.
The three ways to market your B2B SaaS in 2025: 1) Announce AI features you'll never ship 2) Pump out 100x brainrot TikToks per day 3) CEO cheats on wife with head of HR at a Coldplay concert
So basically the Coldplay concert guy (married), CEO of a tech company, was having an affair with his head of HR (also married) and they brought along the head of HR’s newly promoted underling to cover for their tryst at the concert. The CEO’s wife found out and has already…
Outstanding piece by @HenMazzig on Mandy Patinkin’s naive belief that antisemitism would stop if only Israel changes its behaviour.
Had a great chat with @hausedave the other day. The Atmos mix of “One Night Love Affair” came on, made me think of the best July car music, that Reckless record was the sh*t you blasted on your boom box
Sad to hear of Alan Hassenfeld’s passing (Hasbro CEO). Got to have a nice email chat with him last year. His run at Hasbro brought in some of the funnest toy brands ever (Transformers, GI Joe). Thx for the amazing childhood memories Alan. Awesome to talk with him, what a legacy
Very nice to see The Journey Part 3 by the Kinks new remasters with a 1993 live album hat tip to @davedavieskinks 🎸
Hari does pristine analysis of the windsurf deal. Brings back memories of Color and Clinkle. Must read for Series A and Seed VCs, to learn how to write exit clauses on term sheets for weird outcomes x.com/haridigresses/…
The Windsurf Dynamics: On the need for a social contract, an analysis of the potential payouts / cap table math, what a better outcome might have looked like instead, and why –– maybe? –– the Windsurf founders and board might have actually done the right thing, leaving a graceful…
Here's a nice 3-pager on why engineers feel a lot of shame and rejection when they begin sales. This is 100% in engineer/coder language: docs.google.com/document/d/1Oc…
Antizionism is a fundamentally new form of Jew-hatred—and must be opposed as such. It is a holistic ideology, with its own genealogies: Nazism, Islamism, Soviet antizionism. It speaks in its own legitimating slogans: “Judaism isn’t Zionism,” “Criticism of Israel isn’t…
I'd love to get a memory of the folio from my manteca stay last weekend. This is the 4th time I've asked. I've emailed 3x and sent 2 DMs. @GreatWolfLodge
Not-so-friendly reminder the #FreePalestine crowd shills for Arab slave traders, sex traffickers, and colonizers.
