It’s amazing think what this guy has achieved. Doesn’t nearly get enough of the press he deserves.
Tried watching The Acolyte. Hard nope.
Seems like Mandalorian & Andor are still the only outliers in an otherwise dead franchise.
Similar story with Marvel, Alien, etc. What's going on there?
Pause your doomscrolling for a sec.
This is a _Good Thing_ that Tim is doing.
If you can, consider sponsoring SSV or putting your hand up to mentor.
If you can't, just follow @SSchoolVentures

The most important reason to treat people well is not what you'll get in return. It's who you hope to become.
Kindness is not about reciprocity or karma. It's about character.
Civility doesn't need to be justified with consequences. Respecting others is the right thing to do.
Renaming a category king seems fraught, especially with a name that lacks specificity, association, or texture.
12 months on, how long until articles no longer say “X, formerly known as Twitter”?
Looking at prices to take the kids to @LEGOLANDWindsor later in the holidays, and kinda surprised by the amount of price-tiering. Eg. adding £100 to each ticket allows you to cut 95% off the length of each queue
I'm not sure what I'd resent more... paying the normal amount and watching rich people skip past me, or paying more and skipping past people who couldn't.
The who decision leaves a bad taste in my mouth
It also doesn't sit well with the rest of @LEGO_Group's brand. Surprised they allow Merlin to do that
Siri, show me the moment the US ceded its position as the world's foremost economic power

The 'empty quadrant' is one of the most replicated findings in housing research.
There expensive cities that don't build. There are cheap cities that do build. And there are no cities that build lots of housing and still see very high housing costs.
Twitter needs a "why is this still trending the next day?"
Currently trending topics have:
Top - high 'value' tweets but very static, stale quickly
Latest - mostly minutes-old noise
I'd try changing 'Latest' to prioritise the last 24 hours but also reflect 'value'
Wholesome stuff like this is such a breath of fresh air after being acclimatised to the recent era of omni-scandals.
There are some touch challenges ahead (see youtu.be/ljVtYj-YSnk), but it's hard not to feel a little optimism.
The prose on this.
This is absolutely the best thing you’ll read today thedispatch.com/article/it-i…
