Some of our best hires were totally unqualified on paper. They always had the same qualities: entrepreneurial, high agency, smart, mission aligned, and they got shit done. If you’re hiring, especially in early stages, seek out & bet on these people. Don’t over-index on resumes.

Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI-assisted Xbox feature. It would let AI or trained human helpers briefly take over your game when you're stuck on a tough part, such as a hard boss or puzzle. They aim to replace pausing the game and searching YouTube tutorials, making games more accessible.

Last night, President Trump called for the common sense action to ban gender transitions for minors without parental consent. Democrats wouldn't even support that. TRUMP: "These people are crazy"

@Ellieinspace I chose to have my information online. They are too young to make that decision. I hope that they have some sort of privacy in the future.

Genuinely curious… Parents, how do you decide to post your child’s face or not? I feel like I’m seeing more and more parents covering their kids faces with emojis. I don’t plan to do this and would like to know why this is becoming more prevalent?

If you were happy when you were poor, you will be insanely happy if you get rich. If you were miserable, you will stay miserable, just with a lot less financial stress

@linusgsebastian @miguelr98370144 @MythionVR @shirobruin @Pirat_Nation I’m sorry you get so much undeserved hate.

@miguelr98370144 @MythionVR @shirobruin @Pirat_Nation imagine still thinking this is what happened.

Linus Tech Tips veteran Jake Tivy left the company in August 2025 after nearly ten years. He said his pay stayed flat for over three years while Vancouver housing costs soared. "You kind of start thinking, while you're working on your boss's third house, if you're ever going to be able to buy a house."

There are 2 types of people in this world: those who can't relax when there are dishes in the sink and those who don't even notice them. And they end up marrying each other.

90% of this country’s problems would be solved by: 1. Term limits for congress 2. Banning congressional stock trading 3. Campaign finance reform But none will ever happen because it’d have to be passed by the leeches that currently benefit from the problem.

@SnazzyLabs 😂

If you have a cast iron sewage line in your home, be careful not to pour soap down the sink otherwise you’ll ruin the seasoning.

Hey @YouTube I would pay an extra $10/month on top of YouTube Premium to disable shorts. I don't want to see another short ever again. Please let me toggle them off.

Psst, Denmark… Tell this administration the Epstein files are in Greenland… they’ll lose all interest and will never be able to find it.

I’m increasingly convinced that the willingness to change your mind is the ultimate sign of intelligence. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.

If had the ear @JDVance @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @GovRonDeSantis @LeaderJohnThune, I would ask them to take a trillion dollars (since trillions just get thrown around like millions now) and bypass all the protests and regulations and dot the whole country with small nuclear reactors, while also building a brand-new, state-of-the-art grid for everyone. Do this as soon as possible and secure it all from attack with the latest physical and cybersecurity; maybe even create a special Nuclear Defense Force that protects each facility, funded federally. This is the only hope of getting enough power to keep up with China, and it is the only hope we have as a country to grow enough to ultimately pay off our debt and guarantee long-term security, by not letting power be a limiting factor on our innovation.

why not just raise income tax rates? because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”. you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens. you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.) the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen. the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure. it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking. that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all. i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%. want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes. want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…

The oceans are full of plastic exactly BECAUSE you recycle The plastic you recyle is majority shipped to Asia and dumped into rivers and oceans there It makes you feel good separating garbage but you're just polluting the oceans more than if you'd just burn it as general waste

There will be 2 types of companies in the future. Those that are great at AI, and those that used to be in business
