Here's my family cookbook that I wrote for my three sons. bit.ly/41jCqmc

Mike Brown describes one of my favorite concepts here with his take on the @nyknicks being "Antifragile". @nntaleb says "Wind extinguishes a candle 🕯️ but energizes fire.” 🔥 Same composition, but different response to the conditions. Being Antifragile describes a team that doesn’t merely survive stress, chaos, volatility, or pressure... it actually gets stronger because of it. Inversely, when organizations eliminate all discomfort, all mistakes, all conflict, and all pressure, they unintentionally create weakness. #EasternConferenceFinals #ECF

@WellBuiltStyle These are great. I’d also add kitchen gear. Iron skillet, Japanese knives, whiskey glasses, old cookbooks.

Items you could conceivably pass on to your son(s) A watch A grenadine silk tie A full grain leather duffel or weekender A signet ring Quality outerwear made from wool or leather - same goes for knitwear (especially cashmere) Quality dress shoes (Goodyear welted) Keep this in mind for the next thing you add to your wardrobe.

Pomegranates are mentioned in nearly every major religious text on Earth. Fruit for paradise. Hard to find a more biblical fruit.

The people who use AI tools to write are missing the point on why we write. We don't write to growth hack virality. We write to clarify our thinking. To remember useful ideas. To connect with interesting people. Automate only the skills you're willing to lose.

@oasishealthapp Do other soda & canned drink makers use a different process for the can lining? Very curious about Spindrift.

One can of Coke contains 3.7 MILLION plastic particles. That’s what researchers at Columbia just found in a single 12oz can of Coke. Most are nanoplastics — small enough to cross into your bloodstream, brain, and organs. And nearly half are polyethylene, the exact plastic used to line the inside of every “aluminum” can. The label says aluminum. It doesn’t mention the plastic lining — added because soda is acidic enough to corrode the metal. Instead, that acid breaks down the plastic and shedds millions of particles into every sip. Big brands hate transparency. That’s why we built @oasishealthapp Find safer sodas on Oasis.

@WellBuiltStyle Real talk.

"I'm bald. What can I do?" Easy --> Just shave your head (crop it real close, you don't even need to razor it). Then grow out a beard/stubble to add some contrast to your face. Jason Statham and Stanley Tucci basically own this look.

@oasishealthapp Need the @VeraSaltCo equivalent for bottled water asap.

100% of the top waters found with microplastics: - Icelandic: 1377 particles per liter (highest) - Hallstein: 136 particles per liter - Aqua Carpatica: 73 particles per liter - Mountain Valley: 18 particles per liter - Evian: 6 particles per liter (plastic, expected) Find our full plastic reports on Oasis app

Happy 82nd Birthday to Danny Trejo!

@VideoGameHstry Castlevania. It’s indisputable.

What's the best video game TV series?

Children living near Driscoll's strawberry farms have a 38% higher childhood cancer rate than average. But Driscoll's can't be sued for any of it. They don't own a single farm, grow a single berry or apply an ounce of pesticides themselves They are a genetics and marketing company making $3 billion a year, licensing plant patents to over 700 farms and taking a cut. Their president said it himself: "Driscoll's is not involved in the fruit farming" Researchers identified 13 pesticides linked to childhood cancer when sprayed within 2.5 miles of a home. 98.5% of those leukemia-linked pesticides were applied in Watsonville, California (Driscoll's main strawberry operation). - Schools sit just yards from the fields - 41,000 lbs of pesticides applied within 1 sq mi of an elementary school - Pesticides linger in the air for up to 72 hours Driscoll's is currently #1 strawberry in the U.S. Check for pesticide testing on the Oasis app

Crab colony… wow! This looks unreal.

A news reporter asked Michael Jordan if he thought the ’90s Bulls could beat LeBron’s Lakers. MJ: Yes. Reporter: By how much? MJ: Two or three points. Reporter: Why so close? MJ: Most of us are almost 60 now.

@Codie_Sanchez Unflappable emotional temperment.

Underrated signs of a high performer: • They hate small talk. • Are not okay with wasting your time. • Do what they say they’re going to do. • Do it with urgency. • Are obsessed, not just interested. What am I missing?

@EricsElectrons Early Neptunes production was supernatural.

Imagine if we got a Michael Jackson album executive produced by The Neptunes in the late 90’s and early 2000’s with production like: - U Dont Have To Call by Usher - Touch by Omarion - Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake - Wanna Love You Girl by Robin Thicke - Superthug by Nore

We’ve had war in the Middle East, unpredictable tariffs, and stubborn inflation, among other headwinds—yet U.S. stock prices keep climbing. The S&P 500 has now recovered every Iran-related loss and is up more than 15 percent since late March. As Tyler Cowen notes here, the market is registering something the headlines often ignore: the deep, structural resilience of the American economy. Innovation, capital markets, and entrepreneurial momentum have a mind of their own!

@coookwithchris Would love to know your most frequent go-to.
