UnitedHealth Group's CEO resigned and the company is apparently dragging the whole market down today. Its problems? Q1 revenue was only up TEN BILLION DOLLARS and earnings per share (EPS) was only up 550%, both missing Wall Street forecasts. www.npr.org/2025/05/13/n...

A screenshot of UnitedHealth Group Inc's financials from Google search showing that the stock, at the time of the screenshot, was down 17% to $314 a share. It also shows that revenue was up, net income was up, earnings per share was up, net profit margin was up, operating income was up, change in cash was up, and... revenue and earnings per share missed Wall Street estimates by 1.82% and 1.28% respectively.

I don't have a dog in this. I haven't heard anything about Neo-nazis and Superman. As an agnostic, I just have a slightly different take on Superman as American Jesus which, as a concept, I could see being very appealing to that group.

@richardkadrey.bsky.social I may have stumbled upon Mexico City’s Sub Rosa.

A small, gray, exterior facade of what looks like a closed down shop. Windows are covered. The exterior ground is just bare concrete. The building is sandwiched between two other, larger buildings with no alleys or space between.

A deep interior view of a long hallway with gray wood and rooms on other side filled with modern furnishings. Natural light is filtering in from multiple sources that are not the front of the building.

A what looks like a custom wood dining table that seats eight sits next to a glass wall that is letting in natural light from the house’s interior courtyard. A natural brick wall and concrete floors complete the setting.

Comfy white lounge chairs and large, white, concrete planters encircle a large skylight.

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally?

My dog wolf, a yellow shepherd and husky mix, howling with a mixture of concern and hope. He’s surrounded by his playgroup, other medium sized, “high energy” dogs, at doggie daycare. There’s artificial turf, real trees, and, one assumes, treats and a human somewhere just off camera.

And this is my dog, Wolf, demanding my attention because he saw me taking pictures of one of the cats. He’s a yowling Shepsky—shepherd/husky mix—that herds the cats to keep them inside and safe.

A medium sized dog demanding that I scratch him while he has his back turned to me. He is at once upset with me and needs to know I love him at least as much as the cats. The shade is making him look reddish but he’s a yellow-white dog with a Husky coat and German Shepherd ears. He is, of course, yowling for attention.

Enjoying some beautiful weather from my deck and one of our cats is at the door (they’re not allowed to come outside).

A beautiful brown and black striped tabby with white chest and paws sits in a doorway staring indignantly at the camera man. He’s sitting on faux wood tile. A black shoulder bag sits on the floor behind him. Out of focus (thankfully) in the background is a couch and coffee table.

The same striped tabby hangs his head low. (He’s really just sniffing something on the floor but he looks sad as hell.)

Misty asks the question: what would happen if a women wrote this post about dick sizes and, like, yeah!

Can any woman in the comments imagine writing a post about the size of a man’s penis and comparing it to marketing?

And what would happen to us if we did?

If this guy was going for clicks, he wins.

But, as with many things, it’s not the size of your LinkedIn audience, it’s what you do with it.

Y’all! I woke up a dude on LinkedIn comparing the quality of one’s ideas to women’s breast sizes and that’s going about as well for him as you’d expect. I was not prepared. I have work to do!

Let’s talk boobs for a sec… 👀
Are they any less valuable if they are attractively presented? 🤔

So my theory is:
The larger they are, the more they tend to be covered up.
The smaller they are, the more they tend to be “on show”.

Obviously there are exceptions to the rule.

But it’s got me thinking, the more confidence we have in whatever we’re presenting (boobs or otherwise) the less we tend to shout about it.

We might even try to hide our natural “gifts” 🎈🎈😁

Same with words.

There are a lot of people in marketing working with A cup ideas and using verbal pushup bras to attract eyeballs, prospects and sales.

But there are a quiet minority in turtle necks and big coats packing FF concepts and offers.

So if you’re getting annoyed with the people constantly shoving their stuff in your face - know that you’re not alone.

So if you’re getting annoyed with the people constantly shoving their stuff in your face - know that you’re not alone.

And if you’re somebody who’s self-conscious about the concepts, offers and words YOU have… understand that you’re allowing the tossers with nothing to show to dominate social media.

So show off a little more and let’s make marketing classy again.

p.s. This is a note to self as much as anything.
I’ve been accused of sitting on the sidelines for too long.

@hankgreen.bsky.social you’re never going to see this but I just watched your cannabis vs gambling video and I am sorry I missed when you asked for input! I have one rather large question: how do you define gambling?

A screenshot showing the definitions of the word gamble: 1) Play games of chance for money; bet. 2) Take risky action in the hope of a desired result. Noun: an act of gambling; an enterprise undertaken or attempted with a risk of loss and a chance of profit or success.

Lots of people know about it but I'm sharing it anyway: Whistlepig 10yr rye whiskey is my absolute favorite whiskey (because the 12 yr is 2x the price). Less well known: Jameson Black Barrel has a similar flavor profile for half the price.

Yesterday, Musk had a big unveiling of his new "autonomous" taxi, bus, and robot—none of which will ship in the next five years, all of which ripped off "I, Robot"—while Trump said he'd ban autonomous vehicles. No refresh to existing products. Today $TSLA is down about 9%.

Collage showing an autonomous bus, car, and robots from the movie I, Robot on the left and the autonomous bus, car, and robots that Musk just unveiled and, boy, let me tell you, they are remarkably similar. From the giant toaster look of the bus to the winged doors and covered wheels of the car to the appearance of humanoid robots, they are REMARKABLY similar.

Intelligencer committing murder, LOL

She (Melania) described Trump as a “family man”

When asked what she wishes people knew about her husband, Melania replied, “That he is really a family man. He loves his family. He loves this country and all he wants is to build better and prosperous.”

That point really has been lost amid the tabloid coverage of Trump’s extramarital affair in the ’90s, the 20-plus sexual-misconduct allegations against him, the conviction over hush-money payments to a porn star, and Trump being found liable for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll.
