Incoming Strategy @ Disney - I don’t tweet anything related to Disney’s strategy or deals, but loving tweet about the rest of media and tech

@grant_stenger You could definitely build this in a weekend with the Wikimedia api and some basic modals

“At its core, an entertainment business does only three things:

1) Create/tell stories
2) Build love for those stories
3) Monetize that love

A good way to learn about this is through Disney. $DIS leads because it’s best at 1, 2, & 3.” @ballmatthew

Movies and TV will never again compete at the box office but with every Gen Z on TikTok and the incredibly sticky ecosystems created by video games.

It has never been easier to make content, distribute it to audiences, and monetize it, and never harder to make lasting brands.

Amazon just purchased MGM (James Bond) for $9B. Here's what media they should have bought instead:

The Office ($500M for 5 year license)
10 blockbuster original series' ($1B max)

or better yet

UI Designer for Prime Video ($200k / year)

@taylorawelch More resilient to do 80% LTV and keep the extra 5% in cash. An extra 5% liquidity does nothing for you in a crisis and you won’t be able to refi 5% out.

@taylorawelch I’d wager the majority of F150 owners don’t live within 100 miles of a Tesla showroom, and Ford clearly knows their market as you can see through the use cases they designed for F150. Self driving also doesn’t matter if you live in the country.

@taylorawelch F150 buyers are busy hauling loads and working not spending time watching livestreams. F150 total sales numbers will smoke cyber truck. Middle America loves Ford and Ford has great distribution network there.

@Gaia__H @david_perell Serious intellectual work cannot be popular because a lot of it has a high learning curve.

Notice how online creators gravitate towards wealth, productivity, tech and mindset as opposed to sociology or x-risk. Because not all demands for subjects are equal.

With that said, divorce seems to suck. With the exception of those escaping abuse, partners tend not to be much happier 4-5 years after divorce than before the divorce, but they do end up poorer and with half the amount of friends. Those who do end up happier get re-married in 4y

I took a college class on intimate relationships this semester, here’s what I learned👇🏼

[Paul Kaster @ptkaster]

Lack of divorce is not a perfect measure of relationship success. Women’s rights, women’s economic opportunity, and lenient divorce laws all lead to higher rates of divorce because they stop women from being trapped in unhappy relationships
