My son’s SAT for next week got canceled and @CollegeBoard refuses to rebook at any other test center. I guess they’re too busy rewriting history for FL. Not surprising that equity and access aren’t top of their list.

@paulg You're right, the plan doc isn't important. But, for entrepreneurs, planning is important. Thinking about business strategy (and potentially writing it down) is certainly not a waste of time. Just because investors don't read plans doesn't mean entrepreneurs shouldn't plan.

Google search quality is declining because of too many ads, SEO, and "smart" AI, prompting people to append "reddit" to queries to get more authentic results (@dkb868)

Voter fraud is a myth.

There were 31 cases out of a BILLION ballots cast from 2000-2014.

That’s:

31
——
1,000,000,000

That’s it. Nothing real. Nothing but a lie to stop (mostly black) people from voting.

It's funny how Republicans believe in science if it puts expensive weapons in space but denies science if it says that man-made climate change is leading us towards a global catastrophe.

Whose policies are better? 🤔

[Rand Fishkin (follow @randderuiter on Threads) @randfish]

It is so much easier & more valuable to be:
- great at one thing
- known for one thing
- amplified for one thing
- constantly improving one thing
- the *best* at one thing
Focus, in my experience, beats hustle, beats genius, beats better funded competition. It's a cheat code.

Reminders:

Great marketing analytics can't save a terrible product.

The best analysis in the world can't make up the gap left by a crappy creative.

It is entirely possible to light a giant pile of money on fire, advertising a non-existent customer value proposition.
