Q4 Pod Retention Update: For the first time ever, I didn’t lose a single AirPod. Huge win, considering past units have chosen “remote work from the Caribbean” without notice. Growth is growth.

The level of AI slopification is so high that Ariana Grande has 6 fingers on the cover of Vogue Japan and NOBODY noticed it before publishing it:

Doesn’t get much clearer than this

Crypto bros please listen when I say, WOMEN IN THIS INDUSTRY ARE NOT TRIAL RUNS FOR YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS Please for the love of god, go outside and talk to more women than just the ones you see at conferences …or at least start pay us to beta test you all Something’s gotta give.

Spotify Wrapped is the most successful marketing tactic of the last ten years Built on one simple idea: People are obsessed with themselves

since a fuck ton of people dm on why lowercase writing & now some complaints on copying… lemme explain the my thesis on lowercase: i have a deep disdain for capital letters because uniform text is cleaner, more elegant.. there is no arbitrary hierarchy, no forced structure disrupting the flow. lowercase removes friction, lets ideas stand on their own. everything exists on the same plane, creating balance, visual harmony, & a kind of effortless cohesion. it also lets your brain process information faster ironically. i’ve been writing this way since middle school, even in professional emails. when i worked in corporate i would send vp’s emails in all lowercase. people lose their minds over it, mistaking it for laziness when it’s actually a deliberate considered choice. ppl’s frustration only proves the point… which is how fragile their attachment to meaningless formality really is. also sama didn’t invent lowercase writing just like he didn’t invent the transformer. lowercase is better.

@bryoinc @BillAckman @benitoz You’re the only one who’s cracked it here heh

@BillAckman @benitoz It’s very obvious that she asked your professor friend to set you up with her. And when that failed she asked the other friend

I hear from many young men that they find it difficult to meet young women in a public setting. In other words, the online culture has destroyed the ability to spontaneously meet strangers. As such, I thought I would share a few words that I used in my youth to meet someone that I found compelling. I would ask: “May I meet you?” before engaging further in a conversation. I almost never got a No. It inevitably enabled the opportunity for a further conversation. I met a lot of really interesting people this way. I think the combination of proper grammar and politeness was the key to its effectiveness. You might give it a try. And yes, I think it should also work for women seeking men as well as same sex interactions. Just two cents from an older happily married guy concerned about our next generation’s happiness and population replacement rates.

@ry_serene @levelsio I loved this so much too and did similar but the illumination was actually a battery killer I read it required another piece to make the screen thicker.

@levelsio I never had stickers, but I used to have a lot of fun with the illuminated apple on the old Macbooks. I cut custom silhouettes for them and even painted one of my macbooks. A shame they took away the illumination.

When I see laptops full of stickers nowadays it looks kinda cringe to me It was normal though 10 years ago I wonder what exactly changed in culture to make it cringe?

Slow clap 👏 (I giggled)

@michaelmiraflor Absolutely. I’m touching this from the athlete/entertainment lane within footwear — happy to dig in next week.

Can someone who has experience in the sneaker industry be down to do a call to discuss that industry’s definition of “energy marketing” is with me? I can pay you back by exchanging whatever knowledge I have that may be valuable to you.

@larrymaxxx_ @you_ballin @binance Oh thanks for coming ! More AMAs tomorrow :)

@you_ballin @binance @a0k Heard lexie speak on TG and since then shes been my favorite mod😁 I stay ballin’

👀 @Binance picked up @You_Ballin 💚 Quoting our Chief Growth Officer, Lexie Kier - @a0k: “Fans don’t just watch — now they own a piece of the outcome.” 🔥 Read: binance.com/en/square/post… $YBL #creatoreconomy on #solana

@tatiana_lvisky @you_ballin @binance Thanks Tatiana! Appreciate it. It was a really great chat and they broke the story up into a series, another coming up soon 🤐

@you_ballin The next era of social puts payments at the center — #SocialFi. At @you_ballin we’re shifting the ground: From hype to infrastructure. From vanity metrics to real value. From followers to shareholders in culture itself. Creators built the internet. They should own what’s next

The old model is dying. For years, #socialmedia took profit while creators got exposure. Engagement became our only metric; not ownership, not value. @you_ballin changes the equation. Every interaction becomes ownership. Every user is a stakeholder creating value around $YBL.

Thanks to our friends at @binance for spotlighting @you_ballin bringing a future where creators, fans, & brands share the same economy of value, visibility, + reward. The #creatoreconomy lost the plot. It promised connection & empowerment but gave us algos & sold our attn. ⬇️
