@rocknrollofall This.is.awesome.

It was last night when Black Sabbath made a final show like no other, BACK TO THE BEGINNING. A thread🧵for those who missed some incredible live performances & highlights. 1- Steven Tyler, 77 years old, kicked the hell of a Whole Lotta Love performance by Led Zeppelin.

@Aerocles @Prorata_ai Thanks David! This is exactly why we built ProRata - to help solve these challenges for publishers. Next up - helping brands get into the conversation in AI search!

This is why I’m excited for what @MicheleTobin and team are doing at @Prorata_ai …

We are getting reports of HUNDREDS of dogs being turned into shelters because of the fires. We never needed fosters & adopters more than now. If you can foster or adopt in the LA area, please DM me. If you don't live in LA, please share this post. You never know who will see it.

@lucy_guo @lucy_guo is that video from today? I live nearby but am not at home. I had not heard there were any fires this close at the moment

And now LA is going up in flames. Fires next door, friends lost their entire homes, and I now have no power

@tferriss This is a hard lesson that often needs to be learned more than once. The emotional pull to try and get "even" on the same asset so you don't "lose" is strong.

In 2008, I owned a home in San Jose, California, and its value cratered. More accurately, the bank owned the home, and I had an ill-conceived adjustable-rate mortgage. On top of that, I was on the cusp of moving to San Francisco. To sell would have meant a $150,000 loss. Ultimately, I picked up and moved to San Francisco, regardless, leaving my San Jose home empty. For months, friends pressured me to rent it, emphasizing how I was flushing money down the toilet otherwise. I eventually buckled and followed their advice. Even with a property management company, regular headaches and paperwork ensued. Regret followed. One introspective night, I had some wine and asked myself: “Do I really need to make money back the same way I’m losing it?” If you lose $1,000 at the blackjack table, should you try to recoup it there? Probably not. If I’m “losing” money via the mortgage payments on an empty house, do I really need to cover it by renting the house itself? No, I decided. I could much more easily create income elsewhere (e.g., speaking gigs, consulting, etc.) to put me in the black. Humans are very vulnerable to a cognitive bias called “anchoring,” whether in real estate, stocks, or otherwise. I am no exception. I made a study of this (a lot of good investors recommend Think Twice by Michael Mauboussin) and shortly thereafter sold my San Jose house at a large loss. Once my attention and mind-space were freed up, I quickly made my money back elsewhere.

Loved this @SUMadvisor pod @mackmckelvey. Much marketing wisdom shared here by the great @petersloterdyk (thanks for the kind shoutout, btw).

@LindzeeeLee Congrats!!

No fancy, creative way to announce -- just a tweet saying I'm the new Brand Partnerships & Culture Director at Team One, the luxury/premium brand division of Publicis 🤓 It's a first role of it's kind for the agency and I can walk to the office which itself is a huge luxury 💅

Great tool for startups! @SUMadvisor

@SaraSBaumann Love it! I was streaming your art on Loupe on repeat on Friday. So good!

GM friends!! Considering exploring some of my gals with multiple patterns and colorways 🤔

@SaraSBaumann First thing that jumped to my mind is that these would be amazing as wallpaper!

GM friends! Looking at some of my patterns and daydreaming about some of the mixed media pieces I want to work on when Jake and I move back into our house.

@ericlitman @mackmckelvey @TheCredPodcast Love this!

I spoke with the wonderful @mackmckelvey on @TheCredPodcast. We talked about everything from why I started Aescape to leaning into intuition, why speed in a company is an incredible advantage, and more.

So happy to be able to stream the fun, colorful artwork of @SaraSBaumann on my TV via @Loupe_Art It's brightening my day!
