Realizing those M&A lawyers were just in it for the money
There is something particularly repulsive about a century old institution being torn apart because the partners want to make $15 million instead of a mere $12 million.

who to be a lawyer needs a lawyer when you can pay your employees to be lawyers?
NEW: How good is the opportunity still in BigLaw right now? A top PJT investment banker is jumping to Sidley Austin even though he's not actually a lawyer:

the Flavio Bolsonaro saga just cannot hold a candle to the Carlos Ghosn escape plan, which was truly one of the most insane stories and it just got completely buried in the collective memory because it happened in late 2019

new hilarious details of Adams administration corruption:

a Queen's slice shop; Valentines Day health inspection; hundreds of mouse droppings; unrefrigerated calamari “My nerves are shot, bro” the owner says on the phone. $300 in cash solves it gothamist.com/news/former-ny…

imagine playing for Kenny Jackett *and* Tim Gilet
A man who would've been proud to see this moment...

🙌 Harry gave a mention to the late Kenny Jackett in his Ballon d'Or acceptance speech last night.

I can highly recommend Luke for a position on Anthropic's board -- he'd bring the specific quality of being annoying in meetings, but in a totally different way than anyone else currently at Anthropic
@DarioAmodei Where can I apply for one of those Anthropic board seats devoted to making sure things are going okay for humanity?

insightful piece about watching someone who is good at something become world historically great
I've been lucky enough to watch Harry Kane up close since 2011. My piece on his pursuit of mastery and his endless capacity to surprise.

key Harry Kane fact is that his mother's maiden name is Hogg, in a more feminist world he could have been Harry Hogg

An easter egg for my fellow young Gen-X/elder millennials: Sumner H. Slichter, the labor economist and New Deal critic quoted at the top of my story, was the grandfather of Jacob Slichter, the drummer for Semisonic.
I found myself reading through the proceedings of the 1931 annual meetings of the American Economic Association (I'm a great time at parties), where Sumner H. Slichter warned that technology was advancing “more rapidly than in any previous age."
