I asked Gemini to create a LinkedIn shitpost about leadership lessons I learnt today after watching the semi final. This is what it came up with: Here is a draft for your LinkedIn post, structured to stand out in the feed with clean formatting, high scannability, and a sharp, engaging hook. Spain vs. France: Why System Trumps Superstars in Leadership Like millions of others, I watched the Spain vs. France match today. While the tactica… stupendous.blog/2026/07/14/912

Diego Maradona (2019) – ★★★★☆ I can’t believe I had never watched this Asif Kapadia docudrama. Not quite Senna heights, but equally heartbreaking. Beautiful watch and I guess in time during World Cup.

It’s a weird take to say FIFA planned it in such a way the the top 4 ranked teams met for semi finals. This is true for almost world sports. When was the last time you saw a Federer-Nadal/Djokovic or Alcaraz-Sinner play each other in round of 16 or even quarter finals? They are almost always grouped that way to give them maximum chances to meet up as far ahead as possible. It’s by design.

@pratik That is very true. I mean it is not sunk cost as I in I didn’t pay for it – came with the house. I should just seriously look at replacing it! Maybe before tariffs hit!

I am shocked by how empty the metro was from downtown dc. At 5pm! Is it a Friday thing? Or a summer thing? To imagine people are stuck in their cars on i66 for hours when the metro is going empty. Americans truly are idiots.

The teen had a blast today meeting the congressmen and senator. She also met their deputies (in fact talked to them more) and also got to travel the underground capital subway system meant for senators/house staff only. The deputies gave her their cards and asked to be in touch if she as interested in volunteering or internship next year. Needless to say she was on cloud 9 getting to see up close how things worked.

So the guy who scored the lone Spain goal parades around in Make Spain Great Again hat and wears far right bracelet is fine but Argentina so racist am I right? This is why I hate the online discourse around the teams so much. There are absolutely shitty players in every fucking team and there are shitty fans of every fucking country. Period. Enjoy the sport as is and move on.

And yes Paredes is piece of shit as much as Torres.

Satluj (2026) – ★★★★★ A slow moving gut wrenching story of some of darkest times in Indian history; this is movie that takes its time and does not hurry at nearly 3 hours. Sure some things may feel a bit repetitive but it is by design I think and is anchored by some excellent performances all throughout. Huge kudos to film makers for not bowing down to Indian govt and releasing it uncut. In spite of this huge nationalist tu… stupendous.blog/2026/07/23/917

Is there a major sports body that is not completely corrupt and greedy? NFL, FIFA, ICC, BCCI, NCAA, F1, IOC are all of same blood. Is there any sport that’s not been ruined by overlords?
