Curious for your feedback!
A friend told me I should start writing, so I started writing. So far I'm literally humbled by the feedback. docentsofus.substack.com/p/t…
Friends asked me to share my perspective on Israel-Palestine situation.

David Petersen (@typesfaster) posted this graph of the percentage of teens who meet their friends in person almost every day. If you crop and flip it, it's much the same shape as the graph of mental health problems.

Brand ads could work, not in an AdWords model but in native « product placement » model ; Wirecutter does this well (this was just to show you what it might look like). But as always it won’t kill Google, just eat a fraction of its lunch

It's a little-known fact that the "overtake 15 cars in rainy weather" quote from Ayrton Senna was a jab at Olivier Panis.
Monaco 1996 was and still is Olivier's only career win. He started in 14th position.
