@JFrankensteiner Yet every time, i try to slice just a bit thinner to see if that last micrometer was the one

Every time I make a Sunday Sauce, I think about how it doesn't matter how thin you slice it, garlic will not liquify in a pan with a little bit of oil, and that Henry Hill, if you could believe it, was not being totally honest when said that shit

@yevrrah tiktok already does this

This concept will make someone way more than $100k (a few million) and you could easily do it across multiple niches… “Scan, identify, buy” is a money printer Who gives a fuck about Google lens No teenage girl is using Google lens to find outfits for the best prices. They want an app that’s attractive and super easy to use. Something that’s shareable Distribution always wins The only risk with this app idea is large social media platforms ripping the idea and practically eating you overnight A few niches that could be 10x better: - Construction and anything trade related. Builders uploading photos of specific issues and getting instant links to solutions + reliable material suppliers - Real estate and architecture. Less viral but tons of deals + partnerships to be made on the backend. Very profitable - Watches. In-built “fake or real” scanner. Live market prices, nearest dealers, retail updates. Stuff like this Basic ones like food also work. They wouldn’t make as much money and more competition but super easy to go viral and speed run users if executed well If you have a similar app like this or planning to build one and you want distribution, drop me a message. I have a strategy in place and can scale fast

@naturesav I have my qualms with gu, but there is a pretty established history of gold medal olympians being inspiring figures

I cringe. Gu is not some great new frontier of human quality. Doing “half pipe” and posing in Louis Vuitton are relatively banal accomplishments. What’s the point of having maxxed out stats if this plus private equity babies are all you have to show for it? It’s giving brunch.

@RobertJBye Late to the party, and more desktop app- but there is currently no good way to switch between accounts with different emails. I use claude personally and for work and have to sign out and back in every time I want to change desktop accounts

We’re making the Claude mobile app even better, so please share your feedback! What annoys you about it? What bugs are you seeing? What features are missing?

@deanwball literally was just editing my photos from Delhi to give some of them a film look...and they were basically just already there

One of the interesting things about Delhi is that the city irl looks like washed out fujifilm. I feel like my eyes themselves, perceiving the world as it is, are a film camera. I’ve never seen anywhere else like this.

@pixlpa Some classic are classic for a reason though. Have my grandpas Corbusier LC4 in cowhide and it fucks

mfers think Taste is a herman miller chair, eames desk, dieter rams hi-fi, some blob-like sculptural sofa, cermonial-grade matcha, natural orange wine, and snacks with art nouveau inspired lettering on the package sold from a tiny boutique store, but really it's …

@_dominatos @Polymarket @PolymarketTrade What was your logic or thesis behind the strategy broadly?

kinda funny, spent a couple days building a bot for 15-minute markets threw $80 at it and just let it run at first it lost a bit like -$10, which was expected fixed it a little and now the stats are sitting around a 93% win rate ended today roughly +$20 obviously not a guarantee and it could all break at any point but if I keep tuning it, might turn into something cool for now I’m just watching it, curious how it plays out

@elaifresh I saw a doordasher walking into my building once on a Saturday morning with a single gatorade in the bag.

@signulll this hypothetical has to apply to about 0 people

so like if you are already worth $100m or something & do not really generate returns on your assets (since you don't sell), only borrow against them, & make less than $200k, do your kids get free tuition at yale?

@zachpogrob This is a disservice to real professional runners. Historically you could say Bolt, Prefontaine, Seb Koe, Mo Farah. Currently ingebrigtsen, Cole Hocker...

@businessbarista I don't think he cares

I will be Alex Honnold's agent pro-bono. The fact this man scaled a 1,700-foot skyscraper live on Netflix & got paid $500,000 is straight up criminal.

@cathsimard_ This was a fun one!

I had one of my most successful drops “Blue Patagonia” with NG featuring two of my strongest artworks created after an intense 3-month Patagonia exploration. We ran two large ranked auctions and gave limited editions physicals to collectors. Bittersweet

@TheStalwart Snowfall contracts for ski resorts/companies is a really interesting vertical that I've been mulling over, and have gotten positive feedback from those in the industry

A GREAT PREDICTION MARKET* *if anyone were trading it. In today's newsletter. The potentially very useful snowfall contracts have virtually no volume. While nearly $1 million is on the line for the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks vs the Appalachian State Mountaineers basketball game.

@zachlieberman fire

@CigsMake show me a lifter with a higher v02 max than a traditionally trained endurance athlete

The lifting of weights is so much superior for the purpose of improving the cardiovascular condition of a human being that whatever’s in second place is not even in the running.

@PEWilliams_ similar experience, been a week of radio silence

I'm not sure what it means for the AI race, but I feel like it's worth noting that I filled out Anthropic's contact sales form to buy a team license 5 days ago and have yet to hear anything from anyone.

@michaelmiraflor stuck culture

We’re collectively regressing. I do not blame us.

@boneGPT @chatgpt21 I'm tinkering with an inverse insider bot right now. Flags "insider" trades that copy betters follow and takes the opposite side

@chatgpt21 It was 22k to win 160

we have entered the age of information laundering >bet 22k on yes >wait for the news to go around >copytraders flood the trade >polymarket accounts share it >once the trade hits 50% throw 100k+ on No >lose 20k to make 100k

@michaelmiraflor @deedydas her-mez

@deedydas Yikes.

Claude Code is one of the worst named products. It's not just for code. Watch this Hermès ad. 30 seconds. 8 shots. Voice. Music. Even text branding burned in with ffmpeg. Clopus 4.5 wrote a script, orchestrated ElevenLabs, Google Veo 3, downloaded music and made this from scratch.

@coldhealing @postjawline @coldhealing think I may have the solve to your woes coming soon…

@postjawline I don't like GPTed longposts like this. I want to read real human opinions on this website

Kids by MGMT is commonly received as a buoyant relic of late-2000s indie culture: a bright synth-hook, a glossy chorus, a familiar artifact of youthful excess and pop irony. Yet its durability suggests something more than period charm. The song persists because it functions as diagnosis. It names, with uncanny brevity, a pattern of modern life that has only intensified. A Straussian approach begins with a simple suspicion: the surface may be the mask. Strauss wrote about writers in hostile climates who practice double-writing, offering an exoteric teaching for the many and an esoteric teaching for the few. Pop music is not medieval philosophy, but it exists within its own constraints. Messages that challenge the ambient moral consensus cannot always be presented as naked argument. They travel more safely as mood, as image, as something singable. Kids is almost engineered for this. Its sonic exuberance grants it a pass, while its lyrics carry a colder instruction set. The opening image establishes the anthropological claim. “You were a child, crawling on your knees toward it.” The posture matters. The child is not standing upright, not deliberating, not choosing among goods; the child is pulled forward by desire. “It” remains unspecified, which is precisely why the line works. The modern subject is surrounded by a constant proliferation of objects that promise satisfaction while refusing it: commodities, attention, status, stimulation, novelty. By leaving the object unnamed, the song targets not a particular vice but the structure of desire in a managed, consumer-saturated order. From this angle, the song is conservative in the older sense. It assumes that human beings are not naturally self-governing rationalists who merely require liberation from external constraint. Human beings require formation. If formation fails, the vacuum is filled by whatever is most powerful in the environment. This is why “Just wait till you get older” lands with an edge. It reads less like reassurance than initiation into a more elaborate regime of management. Maturity, in a therapeutic and bureaucratic culture, is often a relabeling rather than an emancipation. The child does not vanish; the child is administered. At the song’s center comes the startling imperative: “Control yourself.” It is an ancient moral demand expressed without apology. In a culture that treats authenticity as the highest good, “control yourself” sounds almost transgressive. Yet it is the condition of freedom rather than its enemy. Without self-control, the modern subject becomes precisely what the system prefers: predictable, governable, and endlessly persuadable. “Take only what you need from it” extends the same logic. The world offers an excess engineered to overwhelm the will. The song’s instruction is not asceticism for its own sake, but a strategy of survival within a landscape designed to monetize compulsion. What gives Kids its particular force is that the music itself performs the seduction it warns against. The euphoria is real, and the warning arrives inside it. The listener experiences the core paradox of modern life: stimulation is pleasurable, and stimulation is also a mechanism of control. Here the Straussian structure becomes almost visible. The exoteric layer is the party. The esoteric layer is the father’s voice arriving in the middle of the party. If one wants to be cheeky, Girard fits neatly as well. Mimetic desire does not require a named object, because the object is often secondary. One wants what others seem to want. The “kids” are oriented not only toward “it,” but toward the social fact of “it,” toward the promise that possession will yield belonging. When the promise fails, rivalry intensifies, anxiety rises, and scapegoating becomes tempting. The song’s nameless “it” can be heard as the interchangeable idol of the crowd, the moving target that keeps the subject crawling. This is why the song resonates more now than when it was released. The environment has become more total. The objects of desire have multiplied, and the systems that cultivate desire have become more precise. Childhood extends into adulthood not as innocence but as dependence. People are saturated with safety language and curated stimulation, and yet remain restless. Kids endures because it refuses the modern lie that freedom is the unlimited satisfaction of appetite. It suggests, instead, the older truth: freedom begins where mastery begins. So the “right-wing masterpiece” claim, stripped of meme excess, is simply this. The song understands that the primary political struggle is not always fought in legislatures. It is fought in the soul. A civilization that dissolves self-rule will be governed by whoever can most effectively direct desire. Kids is catchy because it is true, and it is true in a way that the age finds difficult to say directly.
