Community has become a bit of a buzzword lately but... how do you build one without f*cking it up? 🤔 This weekend I took some time to write this piece to help with that ✍️ ash-phillips.medium.com/community-for-…

@andruyeung what in the ever loving silicon valley parody hell is this

I just met a founder who told me she works 24 hours a day. I’m not joking. She’s taught herself how to lucid dream so she can solve important work problems in her sleep. It’s working though, she recently raised tens of millions of dollars and hired a few dozen people. San Francisco is known for 996 but in New York we’re 24/7 ;)

@ATGTICKETS hi team, your chat robot isn't giving me the option I need to ask about, I've asked for a human but it's refusing to give me the enquiry form it's talking about -- I'm stuck, how can I get help? It's urgent. Thanks.

@GWRHelp don't know if you have a credit/bonus system but the staff on the 10:30 BTM > PADD service today have been so great. Driver announcement super happy and "enjoy your adventure" was a nice touch. The trolley guy was awesome too - even told the loud folks in quiet to shh 🤌🏻

@ManOfFocus_ Be good. Always.

As a man, what is your personal philosophy? (In 3 words or less)

Looking for guests over 75+ years old, who have led very entrepreneurial lives, for a content series... Anyone have a recommendation? A grandparent? Family friend? Someone epic?

@McDonaldsUK I reckon it's about a 98% chance that McDonald's will forget the sauces in your delivery order. Am I supposed to raw dog nuggs or what? Where is my BBQ and Sweet and Sour?! Every. Single. Time. And there's never a way to complain about missing sauces either.

@schiz04renic It's all coming back to me now, by Celine Dion. And Man I need by Olivia Dean. Bangers.

** MEN & MEN ONLY ** Tell me a song by a woman you sing with your whole chest

Trump: I’d have “no problem” releasing the video of the second Venezuela boat strike. Trump, 5 days later: I never said that. This is ABC fake news. (December 9, 2025)

KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo--- TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

@atrupar Vile.

@bigrob Right here

I’ve still never met anyone in my ENTIRE LIFE that prefers Pepsi over Coke. Not a single soul.

@craigzLiszt No. Execution Hero. Distribution Legend. GTM Badass. Ideas don't do anything without these types of folks.

are we entering the era of the idea guy?

Yep. In a world where people can vibe code anything in a weekend, it's the execution, GTM strategy, virality, experience, and sales that decides who wins.

@auralix4 "You either die B2C or live long enough to become B2B" - Harvey Dent, probably.

@bendingspoons you REALLY need a "user council" for Meetup post acquisition. Didn't think it could get worse but it seems to be doing just that???? Word among pro community folks is that they're all intending to move away. I don't want to do that. So can I help you fix this?!?!

@GWRHelp Oh, any time at all?! Thanks!

@asherphizzle Hi Ash, thank you for your message. You can use this ticket from 10:24am onwards for the rest of the day. -Julia

@GWRHelp I sent a DM about a ticket, could someone get back to me pls? Thanks

Sam Altman had indirect stake in OpenAI through YC fund Board later learned he also secretly owned OpenAI Startup Fund All while serving as “independent director” of the non-profit he ran as CEO

@Spotify @SpotifyUK I just cancelled my audiobook add-on but it's still showing on my account. Does it just take a while to update? If I click it I can't cancel it anymore, so presume so but wanted to ask to confirm and for paper-trail!

Buzzing for 2026. Huge opportunities ahead and even deeper impact for those we serve. Can't wait.
