They still reuse their password. Let's have them link ChatGPT to their bank accounts. Yes, good. Have them post a photo of their bank accounts on main.

Being an SDR is one of the best jobs ever if you want to gain empathy, resilience and creativity. You get punched in the face a lot. No one wants to be reached out to. You have to get so creative around problem solving to make it interesting enough for them. Everyone should be an SDR at some point in their career.

Pretty spot on:

I work w a lot of large families w multigenerational wealth. They often ask how to make good decisions when tech is developing so radically fast but human adoption is so unevenly. I think the key is to separate what's accelerating from what's enduring. Tech changes. Human needs - for meaning, for connection, for autonomy, for security - change much less. Build your decisions around the enduring, & adapt the technological layer as it evolves. The mistake is doing the reverse: anchoring to a specific technology and being surprised when human behavior doesn't keep up. We spend way too much time on the 10% - the tools, not enough time thinking abt the 90% - the human - what we want, need, what gives us joy, what we want to protect. The current priorities are backwards.

@UID_ Damn, zo jaloers, genieten!

Dear followers. I'm in my night passage. Starlink satelites are lighting up the sky as if they are cars on a highway. Fucking insane and beautifull! It's crazy that you need to opt in for Ocean Mode of Starlink. Sailors are early adopters and explorers. They are the ones spreading starlink adoption. Please fix this asap @elonmusk. The tech is there, don't ruin adoption speed for some extra bucks.

@TheCaptainEli @stevenvanwel That’s just impavido, it’s a cultural thing, rules don’t apply

Europe, I’m simply tired of waiting for you. FSD drives according to the law and keeps people alive. Meanwhile, during a 3-hour drive I filmed 9 drivers crossing a solid white line. Let me repeat that — nine drivers in just three hours! (Italy)

@UtasteS For this episode?

One of the biggest inflection points for cloud computing was when the intelligence community adopted it. “That contract was kind of the shot heard round the world because commercial enterprises were like, ‘What? If the CIA can use cloud, we can use cloud.’” “At that point in time, people were still very skeptical about the security and compliance.” Teresa Carlson (@teresacarlson) Founding CEO of General Catalyst Institute (@generalcatalyst)

@RobertDVis Transparant, helder en daadkracht 👊

This is a note I sent earlier today to all employees at Bird on why we are decreasing our European headcount by 20% as we shift our employee base closer to our customers in the US. Hi Team, Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce Bird's headcount by approximately 20%. The majority of the reduction is in Europe, with smaller adjustments across the rest of the business. I want to be direct with you about why. When I founded Bird 15 years ago in Amsterdam, we had no choice but to go global from Day 1. The Netherlands and Europe were simply too small a market for the company I wanted to build. Fifteen years later, the centre of gravity of the business has shifted: 75% of our revenue now comes from US-headquartered companies, including most of the Fortune 500, all of big tech, and many AI-native companies. As per my recent shareholders note, Bird is profitable and growing, with roughly $250m in net revenue for 2025 and based on valuation roughly the 30th largest company of The Netherlands. However comparing to the US we would not even make the top 1000. This decision is not about whether the business is healthy. It is about where the business has moved and its future to grow and win which is simply shifting away from Europe. Two things are driving the change. The first is geography. Our engineering and operations teams were built for a company headquartered in Amsterdam, and our customers in 2026 are increasingly not. We need to be closer to them. The second is AI. It has changed how we work, and tasks that required dedicated headcount even a few years ago no longer do. Building a global tech company from a European base has also gotten harder over the past decade. That is a longer conversation, one I have made publicly, and it is part of the picture here. We are continuing to hire in the US, recently across GTM, with more to come in engineering and other functions. This is not a reflection of your performance. It is about where Bird needs to be, and how we need to operate from here. To those of you leaving: thank you. You poured yourselves into Bird and helped build something extraordinary. I'm grateful for everything you've contributed, and I'm sorry. Within the next 15 minutes you'll receive an email to your personal inbox with details on next steps and the support we're providing. In line with our security policy, your system access will be removed at the same time. To the team staying: I know today is hard. We're saying goodbye to colleagues and friends. What we've built together is rare, and protecting it - and growing from here - is what this decision is about. We'll hold an All Hands later today; you'll receive an invite shortly, and I'll answer your questions there directly. Thank you to everyone affected for what you built here. Robert

I fucking knew it was going to be an ornithologist or a crazy birder. Landfills are peak birdwatching because they provide birds with a reliable source of food. the only people who would get off a cruise ship and say "let's go the the landfill" are avid, insane bird lovers.

@Billbrowder Just like trump is using ice and in the netherlands they use the imigrants. Keep the people occupied so you don’t need to fix the difficult long term shit.

In Italy, Charlotte de Witte threw a free 20,000-people rave in Genova. Organized by the City of Genoa supported by Mayor Silvia Salis, who was also dancing backstage, the event is part of a wider campaign to bring music back into urban spaces. This is what your government could do for you.

@tankots Spam?

@jeremyscahill "First he was possibly dead, then severely wounded, then not in a position of authority, then Iran in disarray, now he’s playing a critical role..." You forgot the part when Trump Admin and Fox News insisted he is gay.

@TurnerNovak Docusign’s Map is amazing btw. It shows the location of everyone who has yet to e-sign the document.
