Visa is doing marketing consults (see pinned!)

I’m looking to take on some new marketing clients from now until June! Here’s an overview of some of my process and how I help people 🙏

it's no wonder many people are unhappy in relationships, they're fucking stupid

@liminal_warmth funnily I never wrote much down about that stuff, I think out of an aversion to being navel-gazey… which I regret now because I too would like to revisit I feel like @sonyasupposedly might have something maybe

cc @visakanv surely you have notes or someone has notes about the 2020 scene--I need to explain to my agent about the different eras and groups

If you were hypothetically going to describe Cozy Twitter in a historical archive, what would you say about it? I wasn't really part of it. I feel like someone did a pretty good article recently that broke down the social history of TPOT. Does anyone have a pointer to that?

@strangestloop this is probably the last noteworthy one

What's the last epiphany you had? Mine is that perceiving someone's desire does not create an obligation to either fulfill it or feel guilty for not fulfilling it.

@visakanv oh no, my casual football takes 😅

just realized that after you switch from For You to Following, you can still switch further from Popular to Most recent. This feels like the correct timeline

@michael_nielsen Mexican Day of the Dead festival feels like an important mention here even made it into a Disney-Pixar movie, which is pretty remarkable imo. Hard to imagine it being greenlit without that particular cultural backdrop and context

Curious: which cultures are most comfortable talking openly about death? Which are least comfortable? Pointers welcome, especially when accompanied by evidence!

@AskYatharth yea I watched RotK in cinema with my friends, then read the hobbit + main LOTR books, then watched the movie trilogy start to finish

do people ever watch the movies, then read the books

ok maybe i WILL watch the lord of the rings movies

@markb I think I’ll notice pretty quick because I especially like replying to tweets sent seconds ago!

@visakanv Pplseem to just be noticing this it's been like this like 3 years now you have to keep going back and setting it back because it will reset and you won't notice for like a week

@michelleakin @michelle yes

do you think i should be given the @michelle handle?

@nosilverv unclear to me why you’d pick AI over existing human corpus tho There’s more than enough material to get to, and the remixes and references you do there will make you part of the human tradition ig unless you really wanna sorta commit to being post-AI as an identity

@visakanv on your thing that you'd be better if you had consumed more

I think I got good at writing tweets by writing 100 (thousand) of them. I think I can get good at writing short stories by reading 100 (thousand) of them. How? Generating them with AI.

best of 2026 thread

@enjojoyy imo essentially we gotta find a way to laugh about the dissonance twitter.com/visakanv/statu…

@allenwalton @liamzebedee 2.5!

@visakanv @liamzebedee oh, you are in for a treat if your kid is over 3.

what are the best tv shows or movies that are significantly about raising young kids?

@sonyasupposedly ❤️❤️❤️

my 3yo heard "Visa" mentioned in the context of credit cards, when I was talking to a cashier, and decided one of his little ambulance cars is named Visa. so now he talks about Visa every day and it makes me think of @visakanv every time

@sonyasupposedly essentially the same meaning, and always interesting to see how phrases morph in transit! ❤️

@visakanv "a frame is useful if you can think outside of it" (probably butchered the phrasing) is one of my favorite Visa-isms

been rereading old screenshots on my phone lately and started wishing I had an interface for merging screenshots… and realized I could use Instagram stories for this 😂 janky, but it works…

@lukeweaver_eth oh hm!!

@visakanv You can build this in iOS shortcuts really easily.

@tnorthcutt @enjojoyy Oooh I love it 😍 🥰🙏

@visakanv @enjojoyy idk if I ever told you, I wrote a little love letter to this meme a while back travisnorthcutt.com/ayy-lmao/

So how do you stay ambitious but also internally zen

@WojtekWarBear @narendramodi American posting misinformation in Indian comments section 😂

@narendramodi Because the rivers in India aren't polluted enough, let's add nuclear waste.

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme. The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality. This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme. A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

I used to think “I wrote my books because I couldn’t say everything I wanted in one essay” Since writing the books ive repeatedly tried and failed to write the essay summary of each but it now occurs to me that maybe I could try to summarize them in 7-12 essays instead
