My coworker spent one year in Tennessee. He came back to Tokyo two months ago. He is not the same man. He says "y'all" in meetings. To our boss. He holds the door for the entire floor. Twelve people. Every morning. He asked the convenience store clerk how her day was going. She had to sit down. He calls every man "bud." Including the CEO. He refuses to describe anything under three hours away as "far." He waves at drivers who let him cross. One driver waved back and almost hit a pole. Last week, he told a junior employee, "I'm proud of you." She went to the restroom and cried for ten minutes. We thought it would wear off. It didn't. It's spreading. Three people in accounting now say "y'all." The junior employee holds the door. The convenience store clerk asks HIM how his day is going. Tennessee, I don't know what you did to him. Please do it to the rest of us.

"Michael wasn't too aware of the Super Bowl. He wasn't too aware of how big this was," recalls Arlen Kantarian, the show's executive producer. "He just said, 'Why don't we call it the Thriller Bowl?'" Michael didn’t even want to do the halftime show, got most of his demands met, stood there for almost 2 minutes while the crowd went insane, had people backstage panicking because he wouldn’t give them the cue to start the music, got the NFL and a sponsor to donate $100K to Heal the World, reached 133.4 million US viewers with his message of love and unity, and literally set the blueprint for every halftime show that came after him. The absolute fucking GOAT 👑

It’s always a great day when I get to catch up with my friends at the Georgia Alzheimer’s Association. Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize medical research, and I look forward to the day we can celebrate the world’s first Alzheimer’s survivor. Thank you, Jamie and Cabot, for your continued partnership and dedication to this mission.
