Tesla is replacing Aimco in the S&P 500 index next week.

After hours of deep research, I discovered why Aimco ($6B REIT) is getting the boot:

— it’s Twitter account has <2k followers
— I couldn’t find a single meme on the timeline
— it’s CEO doesn’t have a Twitter handle
This is Aimco CEO Terry Considine:

-- Harvard BA / Harvard Law
-- Colorado state Senator
-- Founded Aimco in 1994, owns 124 apartment complexes with ~33k apartments that brought in $900m+
-- Again, ZERO TWITTER HANDLE

On a more serious note, Aimco is getting booted from the S&P 500 b/c:

-- It's one of the smallest market caps on the index
-- It already had plans to split off its REIT into 2 parts: 1) apartment holdings (with steady income) and 2) its development business (not REIT worthy)

Found an insane collection of maps from Reddit.

The best ones 🧵

1/ Each section of this map contains 10% of the world's population. Image
2/ The nearest country to every part of the United States. Image
3/ The longest possible train ride in the world:

"I need you to book me a train from Portugal to Vietnam, but make sure it goes **around** Mongolia."

(travel time = 11,000 miles, 275 hours) Image

Christopher Nolan planted 500 real acres of corn for “Interstellar” instead of using CGI.

After the movie was done, he sold it for a profit LOL!!
It costed $100k and Nolan had to find a place he could grow corn that had "a mountain in the distance"...outside of Calgary! 🇨🇦
Amazingly, he asked Zack Snyder for advice...who also grew corn for "Man of Steel"

Awesome story of how Jason Kilar — CEO of WarnerMedia and founder of Hulu — got a his first real job (at Disney):

• wrote 70 unanswered letters in his junior year
• drew this comic that finally got their attention 👇
I read about the story but couldn’t find the comic.

So I @ Jason and he replied.

(I love Twitter)
Also a great story...how Jason got a job at Amazon in the mid-90s.

Met Bezos, who came to speak at a Harvard Business School class (while Amazon was still small):

“Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.”

-- Victor Hugo
Hugo made the quote in reference to the French coup d’état of 1851 that brought Napoleon III to power.
The literal French-English translation of Hugo's quote is not as sexy:

"One can resist the invasion of armies; one cannot resist the invasion of ideas.”

Method acting

For “Terminator 2”, actor Patrick Stewart wanted to make T-1000 as robotic as possible, so he trained to shoot a gun without blinking.
Ugh, my bad: Robert Patrick (*not* Patrick Stewart, who looks great in party shirts) Image
*Robert Patrick* also did some crazy cardio training.

Sprint with a straight posture with mouth closed (and show no fatigue)...all too look more robotic.

1/ Ted Lasso is amazing.

I re-watched the pilot episode w/ my Hollywood screenwriter friend.

He explained to me frame-by-frame how quickly the writers make us love Lasso...

...incredibly, it only takes 157 seconds.

Thread 👇👇👇
2/ From the get go, the Ted Lasso writing team effectively deploys the classic storytelling technique "show, don't tell".

Instead of Lasso (or other characters) talking about how great of a guy he is, we come to the conclusion based on observing his actions.
3/ We first see Lasso at the 3:51 mark of the pilot.

And when we do, it's a still photo of him on ESPN's Sportcenter show.

Importantly, it's a HUGE smiling photo that instantly pulls you in...and you spend 28 seconds with the smiling image as Scott Van Pelt speaks.
