This morning, as I sipped my coffee and prepared to wrangle my inbox (and my spirit), I was reminded of a delicious little tweet from back in January 2022. Sam Altman, the AI guy with vision and caffeine-fueled ambition, had just introduced the world to ChatGPT. “Give it […]
This past weekend, the French Open gave us more than just tennis. It gave us a gritty, sweaty, glorious masterclass in resilience. Both Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz reminded us that it’s not how you start, but how you finish. And oh, did they finish. Alcaraz clawed his […]
They say you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. Once it’s out, it’s out. It’s one of those old-timey sayings meant to remind you that actions have consequences. Spilled milk. Said words. Forward momentum. Irreversible things. But the other day, in the middle of my daily […]
