I’ve figured out a through-line in my career/life: my very favorite thing to do is to highlight cool people making cool shit, leveraging my/my employer’s platform/reach to do so. Legit, it’s my favorite thing. That and connecting cool people together.
This is why I created #TheDownload (latest episode ) and why I love doing streams and talks that highlight cool stuff. Call me a connector or whatever the term is, but I love sharing cool stuff from cool people, tech, art, whatever it might be.
But when I look back at my entire professional career, from USA Today onward, it has always been about sharing/celebrating/highlighting cool shit. Even as a preteen, my website had picks for my favorite apps and websites.
I genuinely love to create and build and do my own things. I love it and it’s an important part of who I am. But I get much greater pleasure sharing and highlighting and amplifying the talent of others, if that makes any sense.

FTR, unlimited PTO is a scam and we all know it.
Because people asked: this is why it is a scam: it is designed to benefit the company, not employee. In the US (the only place you can get away with it), the reason companies do this is so they don’t have to pay out PTO when you leave or are laid off.
PTO, when earned, has a real tangible value. Yes, they can limit how much you can roll over (state dependent), but if you leave your job and had six weeks of vacation saved, they have to pay that back to you in your final check. It’s part of your salary and you accrue it.

Imagine tweeting this and thinking it shows good managerial judgment.
Any company in 2022 that doesn’t understand the insipid necessity of the counteroffer song and dance is stuck back in the 1980s or something, back when people had pensions and you worked at companies for life. That’s not how things work.
I tend to stay at jobs a long time. I’m pretty freaking loyal. I have received counters at every job Ive ever had that I was at for more than a year. I've also received normal promotions (and some out of band I didn’t ask for) after doing a counter.

Huzzah and good news for all of us old school pirates, or file sharers I guess we could say. A new Transmission beta after years and years of waiting. Also, Apple Silicon support. github.com/transmission/t…
I torrent and I will not apologize for it, nor will I pretend that I only torrent Linux distros or artist-approved bootlegs. I spend more on media than any person I’ve ever met, let me torrent in peace.
My favorite act of weird subversion when I was a journalist and even as a baby blogger was to use legit screenshots of my torrent client in any write-ups about torrent clients. Because faking it is for cops.

Warner Bros. Television has always been the best at TV, if we’re honest. That’s why gutting HBO Max and making it more like Discovery would be a mistake
Because inspire of Stankey and co trying to kill and dilute HBO, terrible name aside, HBO Max has been good! Really good! No other network or television studio has had the sort of run of WBTV or HBO. HBO is a given but people always sleep on WBTV’s lineage
But Friends, ER, the West Wing, Will & Grace, Nip/Tuck, Big Bang Theory and many, many more big Emmy winners that weren’t on HBO came from WBTV

No matter what they are saying, shit must have been BAD for them to not even release this to the Max on the DL. To not even finish editing? Damn. variety.com/2022/film/news…
There is no way you don't even finish the edit and do the most casual/small of small releases here if you think this has any value at all. To bury it, it has to be both bad and not worth even running on European satellite TV.
This isn't a hyped TV pilot. This is a $100m budgeted film that you might not make any money on but could at least sell merch on in lesser markets. But to just be like, "nah" -- this is wild.

I’d really like to see true mea culpas from all the so-called fact checkers and the oped columnists who pushed the idea that the 10-year old rape story was false. We won’t, but if they really cared about truth in media, they’d do more than just issue a correction at the top.
It was really horrifying to read the comments on those articles that all but said “this is a hoax,” especially at places like @BulwarkOnline where the author doubled-down and argued with knowledgeable commenters and seeing almost zero reflection/admittance of being wrong.
We talk so much about fake news and it’s true media misinformation can happen. But when reporters who should know better (and I’m not talking about Fox or Daily Caller) basically say, “this is false” that literally creates fake news
