@alextcone Its a vibe.

Yesterday I got to spend time with two of my German friends, Achim and Robert. We didn’t coordinate outfits.

@sircryptotips I have a sheep. He won’t vote.

Soon the sheep are going to vote for their next puppet in the US. The sheep think this next person(whoever it may be) is going to save the US and make the US great again. This is beyond foolishness. Imagine thinking a politician is going to "fix" anything?

@alexisohanian Love this

Thinking of starting a members club in NYC — how much would you pay for membership? It'd be limited capacity and application-only so that everyone there has built something... like minimum founder of $1M ARR business? But with events open to the public.

Privacy Alert! The FTC just dropped a bombshell report, revealing shocking data practices by social media giants and streaming services. Here's what you need to know to keep your content strategy sharp and compliant:     1    Data Overload: Companies are hoarding data like never before, often without clear user consent or knowledge. Think twice before your next data grab!     2    Ad Targeting: The report slams the opaque world of ad targeting. If you're playing in sensitive areas, tread carefully or risk backlash.     3    AI and Automation: Users are in the dark about how AI uses their data. Increase transparency or face distrust.     4    Protecting the Young: Special attention to children and teens is now non-negotiable. Implement robust privacy settings by default for younger audiences.     5    User Control: Give the power back to the users! They want control over their data. Make access and deletion easy. Share This Post to spread awareness on responsible content creation and data use in digital marketing. Remember, the future is privacy-first! #DataPrivacy #FTCReport #SocialMedia #ContentStrategy #DigitalRights
