Whereas most companies ask themselves "will this provide additional value to our shareholders?" And stock prices are now largely divorced from actual business performance. Much of the S&P 500's market cap cannot be justified based on sales and reasonable projections of growth.

What's the best way to encourage creators you follow and admire to get off of Substack and onto a platform like Ghost without coming across as a scold? And without being complain-y, but actually helpful?

The Venn diagram of folks who convinced themselves that "cancel culture" is a thing as well is probably a circle. I think many supposed 'intellectuals' have been weirdly poisoned by social media.

for all the chuckleheads mad about Podz, he was the only starter with a positive +/-. If the Warriors want to be taken seriously, they can't lose to a team who hadn't yet won a game.

Until Draymond needlessly tries to wrap up a breakaway layup, likely causing a flagrant foul. Like, sometimes it's okay if people just score.

The Dubs appear to be playing even sloppier-than-usual ball. Draymond forcing passes to Butler when he doesn't have a seal; Butler, who 'hates turnovers,' throwing the ball away. If the Dubs just play with 20% more focus, they'd be way ahead.

I performed in improvised parodies of TOS for 9 years, appearing at comic conventions and on SyFy Wire. I also moderated the 2010 Emerald City Comicon panel with Leonard Nimoy, who was amazing. I grew up with TNG, but developed appreciation for TOS after âThese Are The Voyagesâ
