Frivolous Defense — Joshua N. Stein (Se.1 Ep.1)
The following is a podcast pilot episode of a podcast from April 2021. The Seventh Amendment of the U.S. Constitution grants American’s the right to a jury trial in civil lawsuits. So it’s no surprise that most people can name at least one patently ridiculous lawsuit, whether brought by a pro se litigant or Rudy Giuliani. But for all the press that frivolous lawsuits tend to receive, the data…
I'm the founder!
The ego some people have because they “founded a company” is insane. I get it, you started a pre-revenue, pre-product, pre-funding, LLC using Legal Zoom. Congrats you’re a founder. Someday an attorney will tell you the company needs to be refiled with an operating agreement, as a different entity type, in another location if you want a shot at venture capital funding. “It will be the next…
Peter Theil and Elon Musk, leopards gonna leopard
Peter Theil and Elon Musk believe their money bought them a person in the Oval Office who will always take their calls and never tell them “no.” They will be shocked to find out Trump knows himself to be a self-made man who owes them nothing but contempt for their arrogance. Leopards gonna leopard.
Dallas Cowboys Fans And Trans People
Trans people are… a very small percentage of the population. The amount of time and energy some folks spend talking about a group of people who account for under 1% of the population is honestly weirdly disproportional. Dallas Cowboys have more Instagram followers than there are trans people in the US. And ya’ know, maybe not all the Cowboys’ IG followers are fans, but the time spent shaming…
It's 2042
The year is 2042, Google just gives you random made up facts when you refresh the page. Facebook sends you hundreds of happy birthday text from unknown numbers daily. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have just launched an Only Fans. Tim Walz and Joe Rogan host a popular podcast about dear hunting. You still eat bread, although it’s fallen out of fashion, because Jeff Bezos sends it to you in…
The Waffle Tree (video)
Reminder, some people will look at a tree that provided their family syrup for 100 years and want to know why it never gave them waffles. If the tree did, somehow make them waffles, these people would ask about the eggs and bacon. Don’t deal with these people. @mason.pelt your reminder some people will look at a tree that gave their family syrup for 100 years and wonder why it never gave them…
Lilly Allen, Feet Pics and Spotify (video)
Lily Allen apparently makes more money selling her feet pics online than she earn from 8 million monthly Spotify streams. A sad commentary on artistry, but great news for people with toes. Learn more on Variety @mason.pelt Lily Allen says feet pic earn more money than Spotify. ♬ original sound – Mason Pelt Watch the video on, TikTok / Instagram
My 4-year old on Nate Silver
Guys, my 4-year old just looked at me and said,
"Nate Silver hasn't done real political science in at least 18 years, and the covid-19 pandemic seemingly broke much of his sense of decorum towards those who participate in more rigorously scrutinized poli sci publishing such as Alberto Alesina, Bruno S. Frey, and Ronald Inglehart."
Kids today, man.
Once You Fix, It Stop Fixing It (video)
Once you have solved a problem, you don’t need to continue working to fix it further, even if it feels exciting to keep optimizing. This article is based on a short from video linked/embedded bellow.
At one point, the internet was slow in my office, so I decided to address it. I took the rational, if slightly excessive, approach of upgrading my router, running an ethernet cable under my house to the office, and using the old router as a wireless access point.
The internet speed in the office improved from download speeds of 20 megabits to over 640 Mbps. My problem was completely solved; the internet in the office was faster than I had any reasonable use for. Yet all I wanted to do was make it even faster—adding all the fastness plus 100 speedy internet points.
640 megabits down is incredibly fast. I wouldn’t have noticed any improvement if I had upgraded to a gigabit or beyond. Still, I felt compelled to keep working on this issue. I had many other problems in my work and life that were far more pressing than achieving a faster internet speed.
I’ve written about this in the past. There’s a business book called Good to Great, but my business book would focus on taking things from bad to average. Everyone wants to double down on what works, but the value of addressing real problems is far greater.
Read that article: Terrible To Simply Average

The main use of crypto currency is helping YouTubers scam fans.

Developers and Lawyer (WordPress confusion)
The keystone image problem WordPress is having currently comes down to people not understanding what open source means.
Open source is, publicly available source code, under a license that allows free modification and distribution of the code and derivative code.
Access to a central maintained repository even if deeply integrated into the open source project is unrelated to the open source issue.
Nothing @photomatt has done or said, impacts the open sourceness of WordPress.
WordPress drama
I suspect Matt Mullenweg (@photomatt) is on balance more in the right than WPEngine. But the latter is focusing on showing themselves as the empathetic victims, while the former is forced to stay focused mostly on an esoteric trademark issue. I strongly suspect WPE did a lot of unbecoming but difficult to describe things behind the scenes, before the public snap. But all most people see is the snap, and that snap has to be explained with a specific legal reason.
The request for proposal
That is some RFP you sent, a massive scope of work.
Do you have any money?
Oh, you do not have any money. But you hope to someday have money?
Well that's nice. When you have money we should talk about this insanely expensive project.
Oh, you need this project to succeed to get the money? Damn, that's crazy.
Sounds like the success of this project is very valuable.
Oh, this project upon which the success of the entire business hinges is only worth free dollars?
Thank you for your consideration, but I need to get off the phone before I have a stroke.
Leading SaaS platform Semrush acquired Search Engine Land, SMX and all of our sibling publications.
I would have thought a nearly $2 billion company acquiring a reasonably well known media company would have garnered more coverage.
The startup and tech press is busy chasing unicorns and the exploits of unstable billionaires I suppose.
