The No Kings protests have really gotten under Trump's skin. Enough that he is sharing an AI generated video of himself dumping manure on protesters from a plane.

You know… the kind of thing a five-year-old would dream of doing, when things are not going their way.

You want to know how I really feel?

P.S. That's the tame version.

I've seen a bunch of people sharing this and repeating the conclusion: that the success is because the CEO loves books t/f you need passionate leaders and... while I think that's true, I don't think that's the conclusion to draw here. The winning strategy wasn't love, it was delegation and local, on the ground, knowledge.

This win comes from a leader who acknowledges people in the stores know their communities and can see and react faster to sales trends in store...

I have a coworker at Unity who's been wiping the floor with all of us with his compact, efficient #adventofcode solutions. What makes it especially galling is that he's doing it all on a 16 MHz 386SX, using Borland Turbo C++ 3.0. Even his write-up looks like a Wayback Machine snapshot of an early-90s Geocities homepage: http://clb.confined.space/aoc2022/

Go, be impressed!
