Ethan Drogin:
$259.71: That’s how much the “Suits” episode I wrote, “Identity Crisis,” earned last quarter in streaming residuals. All together, NBCUniversal paid the six original “Suits” writers less than $3,000 last quarter to stream our 11 Season 1 episodes on two platforms.

But many artists are certain that what is broken about Hollywood isn’t just compensation. It’s what’s being made and why.

Voyager 2 Is Alive and Well!

For those of you wringing your hands for the last few days over the silence of one of the fabled Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977 to the outer solar system & beyond, you can chill now.

After finding a faint signal coming from Voyager 2 despite its mis-orientation, #NASA made an attempt to communicate with the spacecraft. And it worked!!

Read on & be happy that we'll be hearing from deep space for some time to come.

Me: 🤔

People often talk about their “ideal weight”.

I’m not sure what that means, but not much talk, say, of their “ideal competence” or “ideal wealth” or “ideal curiosity”.

“Don’t delegate tasks, delegate ownership” — Casey Watts

Story:

At a party recently, some guests arrived early and offered to help set up.

They expected me to tell them exactly what to do (delegating tasks)

Instead, I told them my goal and trusted them to do it: “set up the food so it’ll be very easy for folks to get at the food, whatever that looks like” (delegating ownership).

They did a MUCH better job that I would have come up with! 👏🏻👏🏻
