There’s this metaphor in Chinese business strategy that you see all the time, even though you never really hear it in Western business schools (at least I haven't). It’s called the “catfish effect,” and it supposedly comes from a Norwegian fishing practice. Apparently, when

If you like interesting architecture in various states of intactness, the country of Georgia is a bit of a dream. https://t.co/pXEnm1Yn9x

But you of course wouldn’t expect those bad numbers to be that predictive of how things will actually go over a year. You’d need way more data for that, over several months.

Episode 7 of Severance is directed by Jessica Lee Gagné, who serves as the show’s cinematographer! This is her directorial debut, so please go shower her in all the love because without her, the world of Severance would look very different ? https://t.co/63rKNObBM8

Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary, just announced in Brussels at a press conference that the U.S. isn't prepared to face Russia, particularly at sea. He claims it would take over seven years to build the necessary ships. What the actual fuck is he doing, broadcasting our

So this NYT headline is blatantly incorrect, as is the underlying article. It’s almost like publishing and then doing research after the fact is a sketchy model for journalism. https://t.co/gewVodo8IA

Contrary to much reporting, everyone who took @elonmusk’s X buyout offer got paid in full. The lawsuits weren’t about that. Politico and WIRED are misleading gov workers about a huge financial choice. A short thread to explain. https://t.co/IHBDq6rt78

@catehall Something of an aside, but imo the plateau pre-Bannister was scientific and not especially psychological. Once he did it the question was how, and people just copied his techniques (esp, lighter shoes + HIIT). Plus there was a big rule change around pacers.

I've only been in Warsaw a few hours. One long bus ride and about four miles walked, so grain of salt thing -- But on first impressions it's a lovely, very manageable, clean, and functional city (like an upscale Sofia) and when I'm in places like this I wonder when they won't be

What’s the deal with DOGE? Is it even needed? How urgently? Are there better solutions out there? There’s no single writeup anywhere looking at the full picture. As this would be useful, I took a stab. We have to look at what’s been happening with inflation. Not just during the
