בעונה הקרובה אמור להחנך סוף סוף האצטדיון החדש ברחובות 🧵
שבוע שעבר הלכתי לתעד אותו ולהתרשם מתצורתו הסופית, שנראה שכבר מוכנה ומזומנה לקבל אוהדים, ולאו דווקא מקומיים.
נראה שהקבוצה הראשונה שתתארח על כר הדשא ברחובות לא תהיה בכלל מהעיר.
שבוע שעבר הלכתי לתעד אותו ולהתרשם מתצורתו הסופית, שנראה שכבר מוכנה ומזומנה לקבל אוהדים, ולאו דווקא מקומיים.
נראה שהקבוצה הראשונה שתתארח על כר הדשא ברחובות לא תהיה בכלל מהעיר.
האצטדיון החדש ברחובות הוא בראש ובראשונה אצטדיון אזורי, גם אם זה לא נאמר באופן רשמי.
המחסור הקיצוני באצטדיוני כדורגל בקנה מידה קטן ובינוני באזור המרכז והשפלה מביא לכך שאצטדיונים חדשים/משופצים הופכים בעל כורחם לביתם של קבוצות מערים סמוכות, וסמוכות פחות.

מאחר ולשתי הקבוצות הרחובותיות, הנמצאות בתקופת שפל יחסית (מרמורק ליגה א', שעריים ליגה ב'), אין אפשרות כלכלית לשכור את האצטדיון, יהיו אלו קבוצות מבחוץ שיקראו לרחובות "בית".

On November 21, 2024, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a partnership with BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager controlling over $10 trillion in assets. The tweet showed him and Chancellor Rachel Reeves in meetings with BlackRock executives, declaring determination to “capitalise on the UK’s position as a world leading hub for investment.”
Within months, BlackRock had acquired 80% ownership of three British freeports, Felixstowe, Harwich, and Thamesport, giving the firm control over 60% of UK container traffic. BlackRock announced a £500 million UK data centre partnership with Digital Gravity Partners. The firm manages £2.3 trillion globally and £600 billion of the UK defined contribution pension market.

Here’s what the majority of people understand instinctively, even if they lack the economic jargon: Companies like BlackRock behave like feudal landlords. They purchase infrastructure, water systems, ports, energy grids, data centres, at above-market rates using borrowed money. Then they transfer that debt onto the companies they’ve acquired.
You, the consumer, pay off that debt through higher bills.
The company, not the asset manager, services the debt. BlackRock and its shareholders extract profits while you’re hit with rising water bills, soaring energy costs, and inflated service charges. When systems fail (see: Thames Water’s £14 billion debt and sewage-filled rivers), taxpayers face bailouts while executives who loaded the debt have already cashed out.
This is a giant Ponzi scheme.

You’re paying twice: Once through higher bills servicing corporate debt you never agreed to. Again through reduced pension returns, because your pension fund (likely managed by BlackRock) is invested in these same debt-laden structures that charge you inflated bills.
When a water company collapses under debt, when energy bills spike, when infrastructure crumbles, it’s not incompetence. It’s the system working exactly as designed: wealth extraction from the many to enrich the few.

I was supposed to chair the @hasanthehun discussion at SXSW this week, who's been banned from entering the UK by Shabana Mahmood. First of all, @sxsw must facilitate a way for Hasan and Cenk to contribute remotely, as a bare minimum refusal to comply with government censorship.
Secondly, it's abundantly clear that the UK government has put Israel at the heart of its policymaking around free expression. Whether it's proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group, arresting hundreds of people for holding signs supporting it...
... or banning @cenkuygur and Hasan Piker from the UK for speech acts *which would not be unlawful in this country*, what we're witnessing is an authoritarian turn motivated by Labour's fear of being called antisemitic, and fear of being called out for their position on the genocidal war on Gaza.

🌞Et voilà, la Famille Missionnaire de Notre-Dame (FMND) est toute fâchée par l'analyse que j'avais faite du verdict du procès de Privas à l'issue duquel, pour rappel, elle et son supérieur ont été condamnés pour abus de faiblesse (ils ont fait appel).

how i would manifest $10,000 from scratch if i had $0 today:
a thread 🧵
a thread 🧵
the first thing i would do is stop identifying as someone who has $0.
that sounds simple, but most people spend the entire manifestation process mentally repeating their current circumstances.
they check their account, see $0, and then spend the rest of the day thinking from the identity of someone who has $0.
that identity becomes the problem.

if my goal was $10,000, i would stop treating it like some giant impossible number.
one of the biggest mistakes people make is emotionally inflating the amount.
they treat $10,000 differently from $100 because they assume bigger numbers require bigger effort, bigger luck, or bigger miracles but to the subconscious, both are simply assumptions.

SpaceX is three distinct businesses:
→ Space (launch + Starship R&D): $4.1B revenue, FY2025
→ Starlink (satellite broadband): $11.4B revenue, 63% EBITDA margins
→ SpaceXAI (terrestrial + orbital AI compute): $3.2B revenue, scaling fast
Total FY2025 revenue: $18.7B — up 33% year-on-year.

Starlink: the business the bears are undervaluing
10.3 million subscribers. 164 countries. Growing at ~1.5 million new users per month.
FY2025 revenue: $ 11.4B.
EBITDA margin: 63%.
The economics here are structurally superior to almost every SaaS business on the planet — because once the satellites are in orbit, launched on SpaceX's own rockets at near-zero marginal cost, every new subscriber is almost pure margin.
No terrestrial ISP can replicate this. That's a permanent, physical moat.
Starlink alone, on a like-for-like SaaS comp, is worth $650B–$860B. The bears aren't pricing this correctly.

Another late night Knicks thought….
Do Knicks fans really know who Leon Rose is?
I don't just mean the Knicks president who built this Finals contender.
But the history behind his rise as an amateur hooper, then lawyer, turned NBA agent?
The CAA super agent had a front row seat to almost every catastrophic Knicks decision for 25 years. He was the guy getting paid on the other side of every deal.
Then he took over the Knicks and did the exact opposite of all everything he saw for 20 years
Buckle up 🧵

Leon Rose grew up in Cherry Hill, NJ. A 5'10" point guard, not the quickest or most talented, but his basketball coach made him godfather to his son.
That's the type of dude Leon is.
Then he went to Temple Law, worked as a Camden County prosecutor, and became a litigator. Never stopped loving basketball.
In 1995, he took his first-ever NBA client: Rick Brunson, an undrafted Temple guard. Leon was so locked in he'd show up at 6 a.m. to rebound for Brunson's workouts and yell at him to line up on his shot.
Rick went undrafted. But Leon got him in the league anyway. and never let go of that relationship.
Remember that part.

From there, the client list grew: Allen Iverson. Chris Paul. Carmelo. LeBron. Dwyane Wade. Chris Bosh. KAT. Embiid. Devin Booker.
Forbes had him at #2 among all sports agents in 2019. around $40M in commissions that year alone. Over $1B in contracts negotiated over his career.
He repped the whole Banana Boat crew at the same time: LeBron, Wade, Melo, CP3.
Here's Dwyane Wade on Leon:
"Not at all surprised he's succeeding. You see how much money he helps people get?"
"Leon is behind the scenes. I don't think people even know how Leon looks."
That last line is important. Because what he was doing the whole time? I guess nobody was paying close enough attention.

JOB INTERVIEW:
"Tell me about a conflict with a coworker."
Most candidates say:
"We had different working styles, but we sat down, talked it through, and found common ground. It made us stronger as a team."
THE WINNING ANSWER:
"Tell me about a conflict with a coworker."
Most candidates say:
"We had different working styles, but we sat down, talked it through, and found common ground. It made us stronger as a team."
THE WINNING ANSWER:
1. The Scope Creep Coordinator
Situation:
A Product Manager had a chronic habit of sneaking "minor" feature requests into the active sprint. They would bypass standard grooming sessions and slide tasks directly to the engineers via Slack, claiming it would "only take a few hours." This was silently destroying velocity, derailing focus, and putting the quarter's core deliverables at severe risk.
Response:
"I intercepted the requests and set up a 1-on-1. I didn't just tell them 'no,' which paints engineering as uncooperative. Instead, I pulled up our sprint capacity dashboard and said: 'We have bandwidth for exactly 40 story points this week. I am happy to swap out Feature A to accommodate your new Feature B. However, you are the product owner you have to make the executive call right now on which core feature gets delayed to next month.' I forced them to make the trade-off decision."
Why it works:
You completely remove emotion and ego from the conflict. By framing it as a strict mathematical capacity issue rather than a personal refusal, you shift the burden of responsibility. You aren't the bad guy saying no; you are the facilitator forcing the stakeholder to own the business consequences and opportunity costs of their demands.

This was silently destroying velocity, derailing focus, and putting the quarter's core deliverables at severe risk.
Response:
"I intercepted the requests and set up a 1-on-1. I didn't just tell them 'no,' which paints engineering as uncooperative. Instead, I pulled up our sprint capacity dashboard and said: 'We have bandwidth for exactly 40 story points this week. I am happy to swap out Feature A to accommodate your new Feature B. However, you are the product owner you have to make the executive call right now on which core feature gets delayed to next month.' I forced them to make the trade-off decision."
Why it works:
You completely remove emotion and ego from the conflict. By framing it as a strict mathematical capacity issue rather than a personal refusal, you shift the burden of responsibility. You aren't the bad guy saying no; you are the facilitator forcing the stakeholder to own the business consequences and opportunity costs of their demands.
2. The Credit Hijacker
Situation:
During a massive cross-functional sync, a peer presented a complex workflow automation architecture that you had entirely designed. They carefully omitted your name, using terms like "I built" and "my strategy," subtly framing your late-night engineering work as their own initiative to senior leadership.
Response:
"Instead of getting defensive, acting betrayed, or calling them a liar in front of the VP, I waited patiently for them to finish their slide. Then, I chimed in with absolute enthusiasm: 'I’m so glad you brought up the framework I shared with you on Tuesday! To build on that for the leadership team, the most complex part of this architecture was solving the API rate limits what do you think our next phase should be to scale that?'"
Why it works:
You reclaim ownership instantly and publicly without looking petty or insecure. By asking a highly specific, highly technical forward-looking question, you expose their lack of depth on the subject while simultaneously demonstrating your total mastery of the actual work. They will never steal your work again.

✝️Why John 4:22 isn't about jews in one simple image + An index of my threads on European Christian replacement Theology and other topics/posts for easy reference.
🔻Verses 21 tells us that Jesus rejects the proto-Judahite 2nd temple, and this point is essentially repeated again in Verse 23.
🔻Verse 22 refers to Jesus being the full revelation of Salvation through the Tribe of Judea, or his legal and blood claim to the Crown of Israel. Jesus tells the Samaritan woman this because she is a remnant of the Northern Tribes. At this point, the only people who have that full revelation are the apostles and a few followers of Jesus' ministry.
🔻Verse 23 is about the crucifixion. The "hour" mentioned is when Jesus is slain on the cross, which creates the New Covenant. This is why Jesus says the Father seeks for humanity to worship in a new way through the Holy Spirit and Truth, which is Jesus himself.
🔻Verse 24 backs the teachings of Saint Paul: That the heirs of the promise of Abraham apply to those who have faith in Christ. Israel is now heavenly, or Spiritual, not a promised nation or physical place.
