It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do.
We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.

Personally I find the new "For you" Twitter feed very shady...Clearly they are trying to use the algo to drive engagement and that is never good for an individual.
Algos feed off anger and hate. The machine will feed you what pisses you off.
"Politicians are human. We give all that we can, for as long as we can, and then it's time. And for me, it’s time."

This 15-year-old had severe hearing loss since he was a baby. He finally hears "Hi, how are you" from his doctor.... and has the most beautiful reaction. Great news 🇻🇪
Counter intuitive but next 2-3 years will be a golden era for well run, reasonably valued* + focused growth stage ($20-100M revs) private tech companies. Never got the hype of the '20-'21 🦄's and just get to focus and build... IPO outlook for '25/'26 will be solid...🤞
BLINDER: Inflation in the second half of 2022 is “almost back down to the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Even more astonishing, hardly anyone seems to have noticed.”
Bedroom pleasure is becoming accepted as an important aspect of general well-being—and seen as something to be maintained and improved. This trend will accelerate in 2023

In other words, average isn't always so average.
