The worst part isn’t that California is cheating in the election.

The worst part is that the rest of America stands by and does nothing about it.

Error codes, many APIs get these so wrong. For example aliasing the same code with multiple meaning so the user has zero idea what actually went wrong and what needs fixing. Here is what I do -> thread

@JebraFaushay @LadyJessMacBeth i thought there was a secret manhole cover under my bed when i was a kid. and that ronald mcdonald and his gang used it to access the underworld in the middle of the night

or me. a friend of mine (now a VP) offered me a job at NVIDIAlike 10 years ago. i declined. wanted to work on God of War with some other friends. it all worked out. but would've been nice to have the fat stacks

🚀 The only career advice you need:

The actor Glen Powell auditioned to play Rooster in Top Gun: Maverick.

When the role was given to Miles Teller, Powell was devastated. He was offered a smaller role, but declined.

Tom Cruise summoned Powell to his house and asked him:

“What kind of career do you want?”

Powell responded:

“I want to be like you—an iconic movie star. You always choose great roles.”

Cruise shook his head.

“You’re wrong. I choose great movies, then I make the role great.”

Powell got the message. He accepted the role of Hangman—and nailed it.

Now Powell says:

“It changed the trajectory of my career.”

When young people ask me for career advice, I tell them something similar:

🚀 Attach yourself to a rocketship.

Join companies that are growing quickly. Work with people who are going places. Be part of something great.

Play your role—no matter how minor—exceptionally well.

The rest will take care of itself.

P.S. I don't write engagement bait, so I need your help to spread the word. If you enjoyed this post, would you like, comment, and repost?

Your entire life will change when you stop assuming people know how you feel about them. Tell your friends you’re proud of them. Text your parents you love them. Compliment your coworkers. Say the kind thing while you still have the chance. It’s something you’ll never regret.

life hack.

have a kind of addiction to this feeling. used to love walking across the empty dance floor at high school dances. everyone's there but nobody's dancing. boys all cowering on one side and girls waiting to be asked on the other. slowly stroll right across the middle and ask the prettiest girl to dance.

absolutely terrifying. feels awesome.

A subtle pattern I've noticed in people who actually build incredible things: They're not smarter. They're not more talented. They're definitely not luckier.

They just have a higher tolerance for looking stupid in public for longer than everyone else.

Look at this photograph.

It’s 1968.

The man carrying this little boy on his shoulders is not his father.

His father has just left.

Left his mother.
Left their home.
Left for another life.

And the man who showed up — who drove 45 minutes across London just to check on a 5-year-old boy whose world had suddenly fallen apart — is holding him steady with both hands while the child laughs at the top of his lungs.

That drive would inspire the best-selling Beatles single of all time.

The boy’s name was Julian Lennon.

And he has never quite known how to feel about it.

Julian Charles John Lennon was born on April 8, 1963.

Four days earlier, The Beatles had released their first album.

His father, John Lennon, was becoming one of the most famous people on Earth.

From the beginning, music came first.

The touring.
The recording.
The chaos.
The fame.

Julian came after all of it.

Paul McCartney, however, had known Julian since he was a baby. He watched him grow up while the world around the Beatles became louder and stranger and harder to survive.

Then, in May 1968, John told Cynthia Lennon their marriage was over.

He had fallen in love with Yoko Ono.

Cynthia later said she came home from vacation and found Yoko already there.

Just like that, the family was broken apart.

Julian was five years old.

Paul McCartney decided to drive out to see Cynthia and Julian.

No cameras.
No publicity.
No grand gesture.

Just a friend showing up because a little boy was hurting.

And during that drive, Paul started humming.

“Hey Jules… don’t make it bad…”

Later, he changed “Jules” to “Jude.”

The song became “Hey Jude.”

Released in August 1968, it spent nine weeks at No. 1 in America, sold millions of copies, and became the biggest-selling Beatles single in history.

But for Julian Lennon, the song carried two truths at once.

To the world, it became comfort.
To him, it became memory.

A reminder that his father had walked away.

And that another man had stepped in long enough to help carry the weight.

Years later, Julian admitted he has a “love-hate relationship” with the song.

Because every stadium singalong…
Every radio replay…
Every well-meaning person saying “Your song!”…

Also brings him back to that moment when his childhood changed forever.

Yet even through all the complicated feelings, one thing never changed:

He never forgot that Paul showed up.

Not because he had to.
Not because it benefited him.

But because a child needed kindness.

Look at the photograph one more time.

A little boy laughing with his whole body.
A man holding him securely on his shoulders.
Two hands making sure he doesn’t fall.

Julian doesn’t know yet about the divorce.
About the fame.
About the legal battles.
About inheritance disputes.
About the strange burden of having your pain turned into one of the most famous songs ever written.

Right now, he only knows one thing:

Someone came.

And sometimes, for a child, that is everything.

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Tom Petty performed all 53 shows of his 2017 tour while suffering from a fractured hip, pushing through the pain rather than canceling dates. Just one week after the tour’s final concert, he died at the age of 66.

This final chapter of Tom Petty’s life highlighted the determination that defined his career. Despite performing with a fractured hip and enduring severe pain, he remained committed to finishing the Heartbreakers’ 40th-anniversary tour in 2017, honoring both his bandmates and the fans who had supported him for decades.

The tour ultimately became his last run of live performances, concluding just a week before his death at 66. Over a career spanning more than forty years, Petty built a legacy through timeless songs, distinctive songwriting, and an unpretentious style that earned him lasting respect and continues to connect with listeners worldwide.
