I Haven’t thought about eBay in over 10 years.
They’re still doing $10B+ in revenue.
Serious question:
Who is actually using it?

X is sufficiently capitalist where it is valuable to post & build a reputation here (unlike reddit or 4chan), but not so capitalist that it drains your soul like Linkedin.
It’s perfect.

𝕏 has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors. Billions of dollars are allocated every day based on what people read on Timeline.
Today we're launching our new Cashtags feature in the US and Canada on iPhone, bringing real-time financial data to X.
Here's how it works:
1. When you search for or post a cashtag (or contract address), X will automatically suggest matching stocks or crypto tokens, so you can select the exact asset you had in mind.
2. Anyone who taps a Cashtag will see posts mentioning it along with its price chart—without ever leaving X.
This ensures that you're always matched to the chatter for the right stock or token.
Cashtags are just the first step in our commitment to be the best destination for the finance and crypto community.

@asaio87 Front end development is being disrupted. Back-end is where the engineering is and still will be.

Uncomfortable truth: you cannot vibecode an app unless you are a developer yourself.

@ryandepauloo I would lean toward shoving, but with 80 bigs early, I can see folding too. For me it would depend on what information I have on that player.
English
What would you do here with 80 bigs?
early level of the $1k $500k on stars

@BoringBiz_ Start a consulting business. Learn AI to create efficiencies. Only take a book of clients large enough to have the desired lifestyle.

Recently grabbed coffee with a senior VP at a very well-known private equity firm
Well above $2M in net worth. Not enough to fully retire but can walk away for a better work life balance if he wants to
Just had a kid few months ago and now struggling to decide between continuing this career path or shifting to something that would let him spend more time with family
I asked him what is keeping him at the current firm, beyond just money
His answer was simple: "Insecurity. I might look back in 10 years and feel bad knowing that my friends are buying their second vacation homes while I walked away to chase an easier life. Whatever job or title I have next would not earn me the same respect"
That is when it really hit me
A lot of people stay in high-performing careers, not even because they need the money, but rather because they are used to a certain level of status and respect from people around them
This only gets worse as you move higher up the ladder and start spending time around people at the same level in terms of career or wealth
I asked him if he was okay if I posted this on my X and sought advice on what my followers would do.
He agreed.
So I am genuinely curious: what would you do if you were in his situation?

This is worth your time.

here is the thing about AOC ...she is a miserable witch of a woman.
Here is the thing about Trump...he is a miserable prick of a man.
We need people fit for the offices of the people
Neither is fit for any office

U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which he had endorsed in 2017 during his first term.
Former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder helped broker the deal with Canada to build the bridge.
@VassyKapelos asked him if he was surprised by Trump's change in position. #cdnpoli #ctvpp

@tannerdripjobs Arrival at paint store is the start time. He’s being sent there to start work. Everyone else is being sent to the job site to start work. Receipt can confirm.

This post is popping off in my Facebook group. How would you handle this?

Apparently, if you can see two people dancing, you're left-brained, and if you can see a bowl of fruit, you're right-brained…

@elonmusk can you please go out to Skinwalker Ranch? I really need to know what the hell is going on over there.

@1MinuteMan @vibrantdad He said his grandparents had a fridge for 50 years. grandparents being the key to the timeline. He never said 50 years ago.
English
@EVplusEV @vibrantdad Try the 70s/80s when fridges weren’t a huge luxury item. He said 50 years ago, not 1950…
English
Does any company make "dumb" refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, etc.?
I'm tired of these smart products breaking down every three years.
My grandparents had the same fridge for 50 years. It can be done.

@bored36523786 @Frasier67Blank @vibrantdad $400 in the 1950’s is equivalent to $4,500 today. TV’s in the 1950’s cost between $400 and $1,200. In today’s dollars, that $1,200 TV would cost $13,680.
English
@Frasier67Blank @EVplusEV @vibrantdad And top tech today isn't even cheap. A top TV in the 70s cost the equivalent of thousands today... And a top TV today costs thousands today. No change. And stupid flagship mobile phones cost £1,500 today. And last only a few years so everything you say is just provably wrong...

Mizrachi KO’d half the final table in the same amount of time it takes Kassouf to act preflop

Whether or not you think WSOP have overstepped here, Effel had 36 hours to engage with Adam ahead of the final table.
Threatening a player moments before the biggest spot of their career is very fucked up.

Jack came up to me as I entered and told me the patch has to come off because of the issues between wpt and wsop earlier. I told him this is completely different as there is no further money to win and he said it didn’t matter. I had to take it off or couldn’t play. Soft.

@science_denier @RobbiJadeLew @WSOP @LeoMargets You really think she thought the A was good on that board after that action? Doesn’t seem possible after the turn call. 🤷🏻♂️
English
@RobbiJadeLew @WSOP @LeoMargets He played it like he had paired the Q or T. She thought she got lucky on the river after bluffing flop and turn, and raised for value. His river donk bet was like a block bet with a hand like KQ, he was pot committed and wasn't folding and that's why she's raised... And he folded
English
One hand can change your life! 😱
I keep thinking about this hand 🤯 On DAY 1 of the @WSOP Main Event @LeoMargets put a player all in with only 15k chips behind her with a (semi-bluff-ish?) move against DeSantis who had her beat, putting him in for his tournament life…
Had he called, she would have had only 15k behind on her FIRST day (which may have changed the trajectory of her tournament course). How exhilarating that she’s at the 2025 Main Event Final Table instead… already changing history! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Speaks volumes on the volatility of poker, being able to read your opponent’s vulnerabilities, and being unafraid to make a bold move (at any stage of the tournament) @PokerGO
