Ordinary actions in extraordinary times sets outliers apart. The 2008 financial crisis is a perfect example. Warren Buffett didn't have some brilliant insight that others missed. He just continued to do what he had always done: buy quality companies when they were on sale. Everyone intellectually knew this was the "right" move. Everyone knew it was what they "should" do. But when faced with uncertainty, they couldn't do it. They froze. The psychology is fascinating: Under stress, we abandon what we know works. In chaos, the steady hand wins the game.

You could own 5% of a tech startup that eventually sells for $200M Yet, you could walk away with absolutely nothing from the sale Here's why you should always ask these 5 questions about any equity you get granted in a startup:

The Supreme Court (SC) has ruled that in drug cases, prosecutors must raise all their objections when an accused offers to plead guilty to a lesser crime. Any objections not raised are considered waived.   In a Decision written by Associate Justice Japar B. Dimaampao, the SC En Banc reinstated the Regional Trial Court’s (RTC) ruling that found Rodulfo Ferraren Aquino (Aquino) guilty of illegal possession of drug paraphernalia under Section 12 of R.A. No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. The SC also updated its Clarificatory Guidelines on Plea-Bargaining in Drugs Cases, as set forth in the 2022 case of People v. Montierro, by adding the following guidelines: 1. If the prosecution objects to a plea bargaining motion but cites only some possible grounds, any other ground not raised is considered waived.   2. If the prosecution raises several objections, but the trial court addresses only one, the appellate court or the SC shall direct the trial court to resolve the remaining issues based on the Montierro guidelines and this case.   3. If the records before the appellate court or the SC are incomplete and it is unclear whether either of the above scenarios applies, the trial court shall be directed to rule again on the matter, applying the principles in Montierro and this case. Aquino was charged with selling and possessing shabu. He asked the RTC to allow him to plead guilty to a lesser crime, illegal possession of drug paraphernalia, for both charges. The prosecution agreed to the plea bargain for the possession charge but objected to the plea for the drug sale charge, saying it violated Department of Justice (DOJ) rules. The RTC, however, granted Aquino’s plea. The SC, agreeing with the RTC, reiterated the Montierro ruling that courts may reject the prosecution’s objection to a plea bargain in drug cases if the only reason for the objection is that the plea violates rules, provided the plea follows the SC’s official plea bargaining framework. However, the SC also clarified that courts do not have unlimited authority and cannot reject the prosecution’s objection if it is based on valid grounds, such as if the accused is not qualified for plea bargaining, or if the plea does not follow the SC’s approved guidelines.   Read the full text of the Press Release at tinyurl.com/y627x9fk.

Most anxiety isn’t about fear. It’s about belief. Deep down, your nervous system is clinging to a story: “If I perform perfectly, I will be loved.” This thread will help you find that story—and rewrite it.🧵

@LawMurrayTheNU Trade Jordan Miller, Kobe Brown, Cam Christie, and Trentyn Flowers for whoever. We all know and has been clearly said by L Frank that Clippers DO NOT DEVELOP. They heavily rely on vets. So trade them.

They’re picking 30th and 51st Those players have a slim chance of contributing to the 2025-26 team. Certainly slimmer than Kobe Brown and Jordan Miller, the young players who need to show something next season

this is the MOST permissionless moment in history. 10 years ago, you needed investors, cofounders, an office, and 6 months of burn just to start a startup. not anymore: 1. you want a startup idea → go mining on reddit, app store reviews etc 2. you want customers → build an audience 3. you want a beautiful software product → learn bolt, cursor, replit, lovable etc 4. you want to charge → stripe link. done. 5. you want distribution without using your face → partner with a niche creator. their trust is your launchpad. 6. you want ops → string together GPT-4o + Claude + Gumloop/Lindy/n8n agents 7. you want an office → kitchen table + noise-canceling headphones 8. you want exceptional advisors → binge 1000 hours of podcasts + you can DM anyone on the planet 9. you want momentum → ship something small today. the rest figures itself out. no gatekeepers. no resumes. no permission needed. you need consistency, taste, and internet access. the startup school is open 24/7. enrollment is free. but shipping is the tuition. there are no excuses anymore.

@TomerAzarly "We understand how they’re trying to attack us now ... " shit. damn. Clippers in 5, Tomer?

Tyronn Lue on the different defensive coverages they’ve thrown at Nikola Jokic: “We understand how they’re trying to attack us now and what they’re doing offensively. We did a good job countering that, but I think when we did counter, we got hurt with offensive rebounds because we were in scramble mode… I thought our initial defense was good but when a shot goes up, we gotta be better.”
