I am simul-reading two books that are both excellent (!) so far, @gautamrao.bsky.social and @unlawfulentries.bsky.social. I’m treating it like an F1 race. Both authors should fancy their chances, but there will only be one winner (besides me)

An absolutely necessary diversion from…everything. My kid and his bestie took 1st and 2nd in the under-6 GS race this afternoon.

I cannot conjure the words to express how much joy I get out of this photo of Cole Palmer. And the alt text is perfect.

Peter Thiel’s surname is tricky. Not so for Andrew Mellon!

Cornelius Vanderbilt loved his kids so much he named two of his sons after American generals-turned-President: Willam Henry Harrison and George Washington. Bezos has four kids and we don’t even know the names of three of them.

JP Morgan, someone who lived with an extreme case of rosacia nonetheless had an overbearing presence in negotiations. Zuckerberg wishes Meta had more masculine energy to make up for his overcooked-pasta demeanor.

Here’s Carnegie with a strong brow, knowing smirk, and oozing confidence. Here’s musk looking like he’s about to smash Samwise’s head with a boulder.

I have a new rule. More of a promise. Every time I pollute the feed with a reference to TFG, I’ll cleanse the feed with a dog pic, a quote from or an anecdote about an American radical, or a bad dad joke. This time, you get…Winnie!
