One of the most genuinely informative "business books" (except it isn't a book) I've read - a classic example of creative project bloat and drift, nobody able to execute a plan or stick to a choice, except you could see the results on a monthly basis in real time

As a former visa holder, let me explain that you spend your entire life in a state of utter paranoia, never leaving the house without your passport. This is inhuman behavior.

Each time I think my opinion of WWE is at its lowest, they find another way to go lower. Absolute pricks.

And if you're questioning what kind of sway WWE had with USCIS in the late 2010s, I have a July 2016 email that I got via a FOIA request where it was explicitly stated that they rubber-stamped WWE work visa petitions without question:

There is no labor organization that would cover WWE wrestlers, we have historically approved such petitions. On
another note, we have debated the following: "Is the beneficiary an athlete or entertainer?" This has been historically
debated and argued before, all the way to SCOPS. Answer from SCOPS: The beneficiaries are considered P-1A athletes,
not entertainers.
I routinely approve WWE petition for their wrestlers without question.

Can you think of a labor org that would cover WWE Wrestlers?

This is very straightforwardly downstream of "GC beliefs are protected beliefs"

He told the hearing on Monday: "The requirement to have a second interview, which arose simply from the respondent discovering that Mr Ngole held a protected characteristic, in this case a belief, then meant they imposed upon him requirements that were not imposed on anyone else."

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

When I was in college, I was Dennis Haskins' handler for a Mr. Belding meet and greet event. As a huge Saved By The Bell fan, I was excited to do it, until I’d heard afterwards that he needed a handler because he wasn’t allowed to be alone in the same room with women.

Technology enthusiasts severely overestimate the average person’s desire or willingness or capacity to build and use AI agents. I understand some work roles that could mandate or encourage it but that is no way a tech revolution. Agents are best for structured, clearly delineated tasks.

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

Just speaking for film & TV there isn't really a job loss due to AI. It's been mostly due to successive punches of pandemic, streaming collapse, union strikes, studio consolidation and interest rates. This trend was in place way before Midjourney was pumping out pictures with 14 fingers.

He always looked totally committed to what he was doing, and AEW thankfully booked him like he was the most dangerous man in the ring. He could be heated up for a major program at will. Such a great hand to have on the roster. I hope he'll be remembered as the all-timer he was.
