| rantnrave:// I'm taking a day off from ranting and raving. Back tomorrow where I discuss ROGER AILES... Some fantastic items today. Be curious. Go deep. That's why REDEF exists... Some randoms: To my friend EV WILLIAMS. The current political environment is all our faults. Not yours. Not TWITTER... Politics and amateurs... I can't remember the last time I watched a music awards show on television... See these "Shot on IPHONE" billboards all over. Beautiful pics. I take a pic with mine and it looks like the camera lens has cataracts... Giving the people what they want can f*** the people... Congrats to JEFFREY KATZENBERG on his PALME D'OR... I never realized this: BONO said Saturday night that U2 never played "Red Hill Mining Town" on the original JOSHUA TREE tour. One of my favorite songs. The band seems to pop up at the right times historically in AMERICA. This song is very relevant right now. Thanks to GUY OSEARY for taking care of us at the show... You get beat when you think your way is the only way. And try not to take victory laps. That's when your house gets robbed... The fidget spinner skit on SNL is genius. More so for the personality type... This show calms me... Happy Birthday to HOWARD HANDLER, REX SORGATZ, ALEX CARLOSS, and DREW LIPSHER. | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

Seven months after the infamous "grab them by the pussy" recording got Bush fired (and nearly toppled Trump's White House run), the former 'Today' host goes public with what happened on that bus, the people who knew about the tape, how he broke the "awful" news to his daughters and now his bold comeback move: "I plan to return to the job that I love." | |

I am wired to discount people who have total assuredness in their point-of-view, have dogmatic positions or use data as a crutch or substitute for logic. I appreciate people who have strong opinions or conviction but expect them to constantly be testing their opinions and refining their approaches as they encounter new people, facts or logic. | |

The era of unicorn startups has created a distorted view of entrepreneurial success. All the talk about billion-dollar exits has inflated the numbers that define a win. Starting and selling a company for $100 million dollars is an outlier event in terms of pure entrepreneurial probability, but such outcomes are viewed as well short of success in many corners of today's startup world. | |

In only a few short years, Megan Ellison-who started up Annapurna in 2011-has taken a small, vibrant, indie production company and methodically turned it into an impressive mini-major. Those in town are comparing Annapurna to the heyday of Harvey and Bob Weinstein's Miramax, which dominated the '90s, but a more appropriate analogy might be Orion Pictures, the prestige indie outfit of the '80s. | |
