Not everything that knocks deserves dinner.

I am tired of people using their religion to justify that they are "good people." mikeforgie.com/be-excellent-t…

Well @gregisenberg and @internetvin just convinced me to use @obsdmd and now I am in sucked into the wormhole youtube.com/watch?v=6MBq1p…

@TheViableEdge @Saboo_Shubham_ Thank buddy!

@Saboo_Shubham_ @MikeForgie Check this out, could be fun to build into your image gen skill / process.

Agent skill with Claude Code Playground plugin lets you annotate and precisely improve nano banana pro images in a loop. We are so cooked.

@gregisenberg “Replies from those who are not articulating authentically as a human make social media less enjoyable…in 2026.”

AI replies remove the fun out of posting on social media Will this ever be fixed?

Claude Skills > Custom GPTs At least for me. I did fair with custom GPTs, but I advanced way faster with Skills.

@TheViableEdge @boringmarketer Once I figure out some branding, the image gen will get better. BTW - your snippet from the meeting that was like two sentences was great to guide Claude on waht needed to be done.

@MikeForgie @boringmarketer Amazing, I need to be using that LinkedIn intelligence in my image gen. Great call.

I am horrible at design. Here is how I "fixed" that with Claude Code and Nano Banana The images are based on a content skill I created: - skill scrapes LinkedIn for top posts - understands the best performing formulas - matches my brand voice (skill from @boringmarketer's stack he is selling wink wink) Then, I have Claude suggest images that will match it. - Claude creates a mockup (based on a style guide md file) so I can see before we use the Gemini API to call to Nano Banana. - I approve the rough draft or iterate. - Claude Code then uses my uses the API (15 cents maybe to create the images) to create 1 image for approval. If approved, it can create multiple (good for carousels) Thank you @TheViableEdge and @boringmarketer for the help!

@gregisenberg do they know who Danica Patrick is?

i've never met someone under the age of 35 that uses godaddy

@chris_nectiv I've been using this API for a while now. For the MCP part, is Claude Code able to access Search Console and make changes?

Whoa, this is awesome!!! It turns out it's possible for SEOs create an MCP for Google Search Console. Here's the process:

I get distracted by what others are doing. I want to learn as much as I can. But everyone is learning and sharing nonstop. So, I will focus on what will free me to learn. Create SOPs, create the systems, free myself to explore exactly what I want, not everything.

@boringmarketer ddammmmnnn dude! My content must suck that bad haha

Accountability check (2 weeks in): Things are working out pretty well so far on linkedin. Have added close to 5000 followers so far. On track for 75k this year which is my goal

Is AI creating more or less gatekeeping?

Be absurd... Using @edendotso to deep dive into the philosophical and religious aspects of Bill & Ted. At the core of writing, you take known concepts and splice them to your experiences. For many reasons, I removed standard religion from my life. My love of the B&T movies led me to believe "Be excellent to each other" was my version of the golden rule. Yes, I know they are movies. But, if many religions are based on a book, why can't my views follow my favorite movies? To give some insight into authenticity, I: - Researched articles and videos about the movies - Pulled the philosophers I liked, but also a list of 100 philosophers so I could learn more about them (relating to something I already knew) - Discussed religion with an AI chat to get my views included, but also to relate it to Bill & Ted - Brain-dumped how I wanted to tackle this article. - Had the AI pump out the rough drafts of each section. As someone who is not a writer, I still feel like I am creating content via my exploration.

Oh my clawd! I am stoked to see Clawdbot, but I am getting analysis paralysis. Like when everyone talks about a movie, TV show, new album...I need to breath before I dive in. Who is creating the best use cases for it? I see @MatthewBerman @damianplayer and @boringmarketer chiming in already.

@Juliafinearts1 @thedankoe no problem. not for self promotion, but I took a lot of photos and have a highlight here instagram.com/stories/highli…

After 2 weeks, vacation gets boring. I remember @thedankoe saying something like this before. But, I just got back home after 2 weeks in El Salvador, and could go back. Because… Productivity was high as I worked. Surfed as much as possible. But most of all, I made sure to dive into the community by making friends with locals, hanging with them outside of the surf, helping them with their businesses using my AI tools. Blending all my passions was the key, but I still missed my dog.

@Juliafinearts1 @thedankoe I was in El Zonte. Great town and quieter than El Tunco (10 minutes away). It wasn't humid. I was hot midday in the sun, but that should be expected.

@MikeForgie @thedankoe Looks great! What beach community did you stay in, and is it humid this time of year?

How I am using @edendotso to create a dynamic journal system (also @thedankoe's Meta Prompt) I love templates, but I got bored and just gave myself tasks every day. The past template worked, and I did use two great prompts like "How will you connect with Eva and Honey?" (wife and dog) to keep me present. But I felt the journal was stale. Using Eden's chat, a new template is created every day based on my entries, goals, and helps guide me via @dailystoic's daily entries. I now have tasks and queues to be present in life and business rather than just knocking off tasks.

@boringmarketer I am using your skill for this. Stoked to dive deeper into a single niche I want to dominate.

sometimes one great prompt is all you need. this one is my favorite, use it in Claude Code, wherever you vibe
