Happy #TaxDay 🙃 Finished going through my federal taxes, and then got hit with a donation request from my daughter's school because they're in the bottom 10% for state funding. Makes me wonder: how much of what I pay actually stays in my community?

All these AI tools are great, but my computer is STRUGGLING. The jury's still out on whether any of it is actually improving my productivity. Maybe the real AI upgrade is actually a new, faster computer...

Weeks of following up on an inaccurate W2 and all I get is "we're working on it". Taxes due in 7 days. "We're working on it" doesn't file my return 🙄 #TaxSeason

Is it just me, or is Claude hallucinating a lot more? Keeping me on my toes!

<3 a good pun.

That's my library and voting center!

International Women's Day on Daylight Saving Time feels quite fitting with how 2026 is going.

I feel attacked!

The America I love is the one that welcomes Arthur Liu - a refugee from communist oppression - and his daughter becomes an Olympic gold medalist! I don't love the America that tries to keep people like him out, or deports them back to their oppressors, as we are now doing with so many Cubans, Venezuelans, and others.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about LI emails telling me that 539 of my colleagues are solving LinkedIn puzzle games?!?! WHY are people playing games on LI?!?!

Are you running your sales/business on WhatsApp? DM please!

@att how can you block Crestwood Loan Advisors? They are ruthless with multiple robo calls daily, different zip codes, etc... 9 does not get removed from their list and I'm on the National Do Not Call Registry. HELP

LinkedIn messaging UI has been driving me nuts, so I spent the weekend hacking together a focused inbox for LinkedIn Messages. Tools like Beeper, Kondo, etc exist, but we needed something for our own workflows that: - 👥 Supports multiple LinkedIn accounts (with Telegram, WhatsApp, etc on the way) - 🏷️ Lets you assign custom labels to organize outreach, hiring, deals, etc. - ⌨️ Uses Gmail-style keyboard shortcuts for speed - 🔁 Gives you a single view of all your LinkedIn messages + InMail from personal and company profiles in one place - 🧼 Has a dedicated, distraction-free UI (no feed, no noise) - 🧩 Provides enriched profiles alongside each conversation Anyone interested? I can offer it at cost for a small group of people! If you live in LinkedIn Messages and want a cleaner, faster workflow (or want to provide product feedback), comment below or DM.

my takeaway from the super bowl ads is that the entire american economy is being propped up by AI, weight loss drugs, cryptocurrency and gambling

So magical, full of vibes, and closing with DTMF!

+ running said email through ChatGPT and Gemini to critique and improve the email. :)

@anirudhnarayan We're exploring this and looking for design partners. Would love to chat! I've DM you :)

I’d love to try an AI native CRM that is 10x better than Salesforce or Hubspot. Attio isn’t it - marginal at best
