Micheal Jordan makes $400M a year from Jordan Brand because he had originally turned down Nike to sign with Adidas but his mom disagreed with him and urged him to listen to her and sign with Nike.
Nike offered Jordan $500k per year and his own shoe line but his mom wanted him to have equity in the company instead.
Today Nike pays Michael Jordan over $250 million per year for his entire life. Jordan Brand is worth over $10 BN and Jordan’s net worth is approximately $4.3 BN
He has earned the majority of his net worth because he listened to his mom ❤️
Mark Ruffalo fired back at James Cameron on Saturday morning after the “Avatar” director said that Netflix buying Warner Bros. Discovery would be “disastrous for the theatrical motion picture business":
“So… the next question to Mr Cameron should be this. ’Are you also against the monopolization that a Paramount acquisition would create? Or is it just that of Netflix?’ I think the answer would be very interesting for the film community to hear and one that should be asked immediately. Is Mike Lee against the Paramount sale as well? Is he as concerned about that as he is the Netflix sale? We all want to know. Speaking on behalf of hundreds of thousands of film makers world wide.”

Just watched #Dhandoraa. Deeply thought-provoking and powerful. Outstanding performances by Sivaji garu, Navdeep, Nandu, Ravi Krishna and Bindu Madhavi throughout…
Hats off to director Murali Kanth garu for the strong writing and for executing such a rooted story so well.
Ravindra Banerjee garu, kudos to you for backing this effort.
Congratulations to the entire cast and crew for supporting and being part of such a remarkable film.
Today marks 20 years at Meta. I feel very grateful to have had the chance to do such interesting and impactful work in a wonderfully positive place. I never set out to stay for so long, but Meta has changed so much over time it never felt like just the same place for long. https://t.co/a8Cyelua0X
claude code is fucking insane
i know literally NOTHING about coding. ZERO. and i just built a fully functioning web app in minutes
http://localhost:3000/
check it out
ok. i worked as a SWE at Amazon in SF for 2 years. reading this "feels unreal" bc its not real. i am so certain of this i would bet EVERYTHING i own, including my pet bird whom i love very dearly, on this being the most blatantly clear clanker garbage i've read on the internet (and i unfortunately still have a LinkedIn so that’s saying something). i need to address a few issues i have w this bc apparently people can’t tell this ~perfectly packaged fable~ is exactly how all AI-produced slop sounds, even if they don't understand the technical aspects, but have no fear i will rip that apart as well. stay with me for like 2 minutes and then resume ur scrolling/monitoring the situation
1. SEV1's are reserved for issues that cause widespread customer impact/when amazon is absolutely bleeding money by the mfing second. multi-org-wide disasters that make the news type xi. if auto-scaling is the only thing maintaining capacity, that already indicates far deeper architectural and operational failures since it should act as a safety net in any properly architected system. ok yeah u wanna make the argument that a lot of amazon code was written before 9/11 BUT STILL any real engineer would have described the impact from a customer facing perspective since that’s the first thing on the ticket - customer is experiencing Y, auto scaling (or more realistic underlying issue) is causing it by X, blablabla - and amazon is huge in working backwards from the customer experience
2. you literally CANT BE ONCALL WHILE ON PTO. you schedule being oncall around taking approved PTO, and somebody else takes your shift, etc. this is talked about in stand ups MONTHS in advance so there’s <1% chance some dudes chilling at the fontainebleau in miami while being oncall if his entire team knows this, & then just so magically happens to get looped into the rarest tier of incident. no
3. when you get paged YOUR PHONE SOUNDS LIKE AN ACTUAL AMBULANCE ON STEROIDS that would wake up all of ur neighbors & you get about 5-15 minutes to get online and start handling the issue, u dont get to just put ur phone in the sand and sip on a mojito or whatever. the paging doesnt stop until the alerting system is satisfied that the incident is being handled or conditions have stabilized somewhat. again, not buying it at all
4. the technical jargon is so stupidly generic no engineer would optimize for story telling over naming actual concrete failure ESPECIALLY if they were soooo goated + cracked that they were “the only one who understood it” (????) but whatever
TLDR; stop engagement farming w this dumb tech slop that u assume nobody's gonna understand or i'm going to personally come after each and every one of you myself
this is the ticket price for Avatar Fire & Ash in the highest premium format, IMAX 3D.
with the pass and without the pass.
if RajaSaab is priced higher than Avatar and has no passes enabled, just know the scam this distribution house is running on the Telugu audience.
Corporate lawyers and others with agendas are creating a lot of FAKE NEWS around President Trump's H-1B Proclamation, but these are FACTS:
1. The Proclamation does not apply to anyone who has a current visa.
2. The Proclamation only applies to future applicants in the February lottery who are currently outside the U.S. It does not apply to anyone who participated in the 2025 lottery.
3. The Proclamation does not impact the ability of any current visa holder to travel to/from the U.S.
To be clear:
1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition.
2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter.
H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would; whatever ability they have to do that is not impacted by yesterday’s proclamation.
3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders.
It will first apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle.
