Tomorrow it will be especially difficult to tumble out of bed, stumble to the kitchen, and pour myself a cup of ambition

I’m going back to physical cookbooks because I’m DONE with closing 15 ads, reading your grandmother’s origin story, and scrolling through an entire memoir before I finally get to the actual recipe.

The Doorman Fallacy
'You have a five-star hotel and it has a doorman, welcoming incoming guests.

McKinsey or Accenture will come in and say, “Your doorman currently costs you X thousand dollars a year. We have defined his or her function as opening the door. We’ll replace said doorman with an automatic door-opening mechanism and an infrared human detector and we’ll save you $30–$40,000 a year.”

They walk away, and they take the credit for the cost savings. Two years later, the hotel’s a catastrophe ... because the doorman was doing multiple things, many of which were human and kind of tacit.

Security would be one; there are no vagrants asleep in the doorway. Hailing taxis, dealing with luggage, recognizing regular guests, providing status to the hotel—there are loads and loads of value creation components to that doorman which aren’t captured in the open-the-door definition."

It's easy to see the visible things, but the invisible things make the difference.

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

Here’s my response:

[Skyleigh Uhrich @Sky_Lee_1]

Trump screaming sedition because democratic Veterans made a message that the military can disobey and unlawful orders. Conveying the Uniform Code of Military Justice is NOT sedition.

January 6th was sedition and Trump pardoned them all.

@jennyrozelle What to do when banks and/or other financial institutions refuse to accept a general power of attorney from their clients.

Soak it up Bay Area folks! It's a blast!!

Love the official photo from the 2025 Laver Cup.

What Amanda Anisimova just did is one of the most impressive mental performances I've seen.

Getting double bageled in a Wimbledon final is a literal nightmare for any tennis player. To come back just a few weeks later and beat that same player on Ashe Stadium is unbelievable.

@TaxNotes @book_leslie Brilliant as usual

Anyone who has been a Beyoncé fan for the last 15+ years knows that Paris has always ranked in the top 2 when it comes to cities that get the special treatment, e.g., special guests, set lists, etc.

Why are we acting shocked? 🤣🤣

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

This is so true…
