Welp, Twitter finally took away my blue check, and I am definitely not paying to get it back.

@benedictevans I don’t know what annoys me more, trying to TAMify generative AI, or concluding that something currently experiencing a Cambrian explosion of innovation will have a flat and even growth rate for the next 10 years

Liverpool deserve 6 points for winning it twice

What a finish boys!!!

Figured there would be no harm in missing the first 15 minutes of the Liverpool match. That seems to have worked out really well for me.

It’s a cosmic law that misfortune must precede good fortune.

@chrisfralic Phenomenal album, pulls you in

@danprimack I maintain that I sensed Musk was trying to provoke regulators to block the deal with outlandish comments and actions that were suggestive of insider trading or playing both sides of the deal. Basically a big dare to regulators to get him out of the deal, which didn’t work.

Surprised to see @jack write that @elonmusk should have just paid Twitter $1 billion to get out of their deal. Surprised because that wasn’t really an option Musk had. That was a breakup fee that only applies if musk couldn’t close the deal (e.g. regulatory block, etc).

That AI Drake/Weeknd song got taken down because the dude actually sampled the Metro Boomin tag and they got it on copyright. Without that, song would probably be a #1 hit right now.

VC Twitter: “San Francisco is a post-apocalyptic hellhole! Bay Area politicians are out of control! California taxes are criminal!” Also VC Twitter: “Your startup needs to be in SF or the Bay Area or you’ll fail. If it’s anywhere else, you need to relocate your entire team.”

@almostcmb Subscription models for restaurants and food service introduce incentives to drive quality down as far as possible to maximize margin. If consumers get to vote with their wallet for every meal, they get more quality control, and food culture improves.

The convenience and volume discounts seem nice But there’s something unsettling about a world where you are on a monthly subscription to your morning coffee (Blank Street) and afternoon lunch (Sweetgreen) Good business model, bad culture

@slatthouse have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again

@beager I think you’d be a great help desk analyst bill!

@timmerzzz77 @Buffalogal We’re never gonna know now!

@FitFounder the powerball numbers

What’s something you wish you knew 10 years ago?

Me: “man this album is great, I’m so glad Spotify recommended it for me” The related playlists at the end of the album: - Classics for Crying - Big Wuss Vibes - Forever Alone 90’s - Depression Chart Toppers - Loser Jams Me: “wow, rude”
