I do find it kind of hard to justify the compulsion not to do this, especially with some kind of baby monitor / camera at home.
Banished Kent@kentbanishearl
One of the most striking scenes in Peter Pan is the parents leaving the young kids at home in bed while they go out

A lot of previously scarce signals are now abundant and therefore don’t work as signals
- nice websites
- well-personalized cold email
- professional photos and illustrations
What is still scarce?
Peer Richelsen@peer_rich
having a nice website is no longer a sign of trust

Why is Ryan Gosling a better spokesperson for the future than anyone in tech?!
Rachael Horwitz@RachaelRad
Ryan Gosling in promoting Project Hail Mary movie told an interviewer something along the lines of “I was tired of the gloom and apocalyptic messaging, especially as a dad. What if the future isn’t all good or all bad just something to figure out.”

some rich billionaire, can you please create an airline that will destroy every other airline?
- charge fair straight forward premium prices
- optimize for comfort, food, & premium experiences.
- fuck the rewards, credit cards, & points. just clean beautiful experiences.
maybe acquire few airlines to do it for gate access.

"I wanted to make a lab where I could take my favorite 12 ideas, try one a month for a year, and see if we could make a go of dreaming up, starting, and growing companies.
After a year, 5 of those 12 had failed, 7 were able to get additional funding beyond the seed capital we provided, and eventually 5 of our earliest companies went public." – @Bill_Gross

What was I thinking? 30 years ago this week I started a “1-year experiment” to build a startup factory based loosely on Thomas Edison’s laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. It was early 1996 and the Internet was growing like crazy after the Netscape IPO, with a whopping 30 million global users (which seems hysterically tiny now). But I felt that this was a disruptive event that with the potential for many new businesses. I wanted to make a lab where I could take my favorite 12 ideas, try one a month for a year, and see if we could make a go of dreaming up, starting, and growing companies. After a year, 5 of those 12 had failed, 7 were able to get additional funding beyond the seed capital we provided, and eventually 5 of our earliest companies went public. We learned so many lessons living through the dot com boom and crash, the 2007 boom and 2008 crash, more recently the Cleantech boom and crash, and now the Ai boom. With a great deal of good timing, good luck and an amazing team of people I worked with over the years, we were able to start more than 150 companies in the last 30 years. I believe that entrepreneurship unlocks human potential and provides so much personal growth. I love helping other entrepreneurs be successful, and hope to give back as much as I can from the joys and challenges of the last 30 years of Idealab (here is a link to my top lessons learned: 25-lessons.idealab.com/introduction/). I am so grateful for the tens of thousands of people who came into our orbit to help make the dreams of each of our companies come true. Thank you so much, and Happy Birthday, Idealab! Sincerely, Bill

The word "psychedelic" was invented during a poetry battle.
Aldous Huxley proposed "phanerothyme" with the line:
"To make this mundane world sublime, take half a gram of phanerothyme."
Psychiatrist Humphry Osmond countered:
"To fathom Hell or soar angelic, just take a pinch of psychedelic."
Osmond won. He debuted the word at the New York Academy of Sciences in 1957.
We almost ended up calling them "phanerothymes."

it's incredible how much more i use @cloudflare now than ever.
and how quickly they're pushing stuff out (especially for a big, public company).
one of the big winners in the AI/agentic world.
sunil pai@threepointone
what if we gave every cloudflare agent a file system (sqlite/r2) tools to operate on it (shell) powered (and secured!) by codemode all powered by workers ai (or byom)
