"You are what you eat" also applies to what media you consume.

Has anyone else realized there's nothing to fucking watch on youtube anymore

@hamzaalabou like painting – lots of broad strokes at the start, then patience with the fine details

100,000+ messages into claude code taught me that great products are mostly built through obsessive patience: great products (whether it’s a saas, a website, or just a simple interaction) are built by people willing to fix tiny bugs for hours and obsess over details most people never notice most people want the breakthrough very few can endure the grind required to create one

@eroscestlavie_x paired with a slightly burnt French roast coffee

12 grain bread, toasted lightly. with lemon dill hummus, roasted tofu, microgreens, and heirloom tomato. a smear of vegan mayo .

You can tell a lot about the event you’re at whether people ask will you for your Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, or phone number.

Who’s got a mango hookup in NYC?

What will be the straw that breaks the camel's back? nytimes.com/2026/05/08/opi…

Lots of “smoking guns”, too

I really want to know what training data is causing "belt-and-suspenders"

You can skip all the parties, all the conferences, all the press, all the tweets. Build a great product and get users and win.

@JonRoth @metapreston Do you think TikTok/Reels/YouTube are higher cultural signals today than reality TV?

@metapreston Broader. For a social app to gain popularity, it needs to feel of the times and align with how people feel right now. What they care about, what they don’t, and what’s cool. understanding culture allows you to build things that aren’t tone deaf

if you’re making a consumer social app you should be watching shit reality TV daily to stay close to the cultural zeitgeist

We don’t need “papers please” for the internet

🧵 THREAD 1/ Online age verification is the hill to die on. Not a fight you can sit out. Not a battle you can skip. Not a policy you can afford to ignore while you focus on something else. This is it. This is the line. This is the infrastructure that enables every other piece of the digital control grid. If we lose this fight, we lose everything.

@Quartr_App “Another strong quarter for Reels engagement”

@trishlaostwal I see “Boosted” on iOS

interesting how Ronan Farrow's profile on Sam Altman popped up on my timeline today (again)-- on the day of the Musk x Altman trial. anyone else see this to? whatsup algo?

Though, as a developer I'd build apps for your new ecosystem if you have good docs, can plug into React Native, & don't take 30% of sales.

For me as a consumer, iMessage & Apple Notes are hard to switch away from.

At this point, the operating system & software on the phone is more important the hardware. If this will run Android, it won't compete with the iPhone.

You were so focused on LLMs when you should have been paying attention to RecSys
