Here is a thread on volunteering and how you can make sure that you are investing your time / partnering with the right organization...

@wrappedxyz @AcrossProtocol Woooo @kanishkkhurana

When you load a website, do you care which AWS EC2 instance it runs on? No. 🛑 @AcrossProtocol says Web3 needs the exact same standard. True interop means hiding the chain entirely. You see USDC, you deposit, and it works. Stop making users care about infra.

Finally created a section on my bookshelf of books I’d like to give away. Plan is to let friends browse the shelves and take the books they want ✌🏼

@KarlTheMartian That’s pretty cool!

@RoastedKeyboard I still remember being 🤯 as a kid when it showed up in Star Trek The Next Generation

🛸 love the city hall building!

@fairyprxncess Estelle

i need a old fashion girls name that will fit her

so idk how to style bangs but i guess i need to learn now

@RAnSacks It stopped snowing in Toronto and the snow forecast has been converted to rain forecast which is lovely 🫠🤣

can someone please bring me good news?

@LindsayCasale 100000%%

Cool tool, but this is a AI marketing generalist. Not a CMO.

@_robyn_smith I don’t find that shocking. It’s essentially the same here? Specifically in Toronto. Sure condo is a bit cheaper for studio or 1 bedroom in the middle of nowhere but you pay condo fees and it’ll be the same.

I come back to Canada and tell my friends insane sf pricing lore and they’re in shock: - low income is $110k - a “starter home” is $1.4mm - a coffee is $8

Oh great we are back at -20 degrees weather.

@clairekart Loved by users of section was funny lol. What are users of Harvard 🤣🫠

@clairekart Honestly haven’t tried it but first impressions were another Claude wrapper. Which can potentially be useful but the site wouldn’t even load to me.

now imagine you are the CMO hired to market this...

@pattersonscott I got some stuff for you!

Personal news - After more than two decades at WSJ I'm leaving for my old stomping ground: Bloomberg. Beat: crypto. If you've got some crypto angles - hit me up!

@supersimon77 On waitlist!

See you at our Birthday Party tonight in Toronto! 🍁

@realfigmafiend Yes

hosting a private dinner in Toronto for researchers, artists, writers, builders! let me know if you wanna pu

@supersimon77 @Shopify Is the great view the construction? 🤣 I am kidding!

Shopify Builder Sundays in Toronto 🍁 Coffee, snacks, and great views from the @Shopify office

Sunday reads at the gorgeous @torontolibrary Wychwood branch!

@librendaa072 Yes, it was ass

Has anyone taken an overnight bus from NYC to Toronto? If so, how was it? Considering riding it to merge sleeping and travelling, and reduce the time waiting at airports.

@RAnSacks That’s stuff is gonna be and is super important! I should’ve said will continue to be… well at least you know I didn’t use AI lol

Gm random question - anyone out there in need of experts on wastewater management, cooling, environmental engineering, etc for data centers? Trying to convince the husband to pivot.

@donnelly_b @loisdelia Yes. You cannot travel without a car seat with an infant. A lot of strollers come with a car seat attachment for babies. I used that in vista Cruz and that then just served as stroller

@loisdelia Serious question. If you take an Uber, do you bring your own car seat?

For those of you with kids and who don't drive/have a car, how did you get your newborn home from the hospital?
