@Alive @sandy_carter @Version3 Self-serving, but the way this site was brought to life was a first for me. @Version3 , led design, UX, and production end-to-end. One of the rare people who can hold the strategic frame and the pixel at once. The clarity, the restraint, the way the whole thing moves: all him.

Most "AI-powered" sites are 2015 architecture with a 2024 sidekick. This is what it looks like when AI is the architecture. (The menu and the blog are still there. Lights on.) Come kick the tires → alivelabs.io @sandy_carter @Version3 @chershberger

AI integration is mostly stickers. A chat bubble bolted to a website that hasn't otherwise changed in years. Today we shipped alivelabs.io. We didn't build a sidekick. We rebuilt the front door. 🧵

@armano It’s not far off

Um. This is nuts. But I remain curiously skeptical

True

@UTDTrey As an Arsenal fan, I give him props. Will he be there next season? Do you want him to be?

22/27 points Michael Carrick appreciation tweet❤️

I asked my mom & dad for advice recently from raising me and my brother... I’m not a parent yet but one day (fingers crossed). This is what they told me, maybe you’ll find it useful too: 1. Your kids are not your friends. They’re yours to safeguard and support, but set rules. Biggest problem with most kids in our generation, their parents wanted to be liked not respected. 2. Psy ops are underrated. My mom had this line for whenever I got into trouble. She’d say, “When I ask you a question like this, I already know the answer. I am giving you a chance to come clean...” At which point I’d sing like a canary because I’m a scaredy cat. I found out today she rarely knew the answers. Brilliant and maniacal. 3. Always on the same page. My mom and dad rarely fought in front of my brother and I. They would never go back on the word of the other. United front to deal with us mini terrorists. 4. Make time. My dad had this silly line that is actually not silly: “You can make money, you can make a cake, but you can’t make time.” So they made allllll the time for us. 5. Four chairs. We have these four chairs in our living room, no tv. Growing up, we’d sit and debate and talk for hours. Politics. Opinions. Our days. Only thing not allowed was an opinion you couldn’t defend unemotionally. We still do this today. 6. Mi Sangre mi siempre. They’d always say, blood comes first. They meant it. I hired my brother, my dad, my mom, my cousin at times. We stick together and we may fight like hell but never in front of others. 7. Once you decide, you don’t quit. We could play any sport or instrument BUT if we committed we had to play the full year all out. No 3 lessons and quit. Taught us to choose thoughtfully and keep going even when it hurt. 8. Always call. They still pick up the phone nearly every time it’s family. My dad in a meeting will pause to answer my mom. My husband taught me this too, and I try to do the same. If they’re your first priority this is an easy way to prove it. 9. You’re not a princess, you’re a president. My dad always used to say that line. He told me this week that I lived up to it. Gutted me. He taught us we didn’t need to be saved, instead we could save ourselves and help others. 10. Hug often and seriously. If you’ve ever hugged my parents, they mean it when they do it. Such a simple, free gesture. My mom always gives you a hug and says vaya con dios... go with God. How can you not do big things with parents that hold you like that? Just some lessons from parents I happen to think are some of the best in the world. Moms & dads everywhere, I’m in awe of you. Hardest job I’ve ever seen. Hope ya'll have a great time with the fam today ❤️ Now get off your phone 😉

@AskMichaelTaiwo Agreed. Love @Codie_Sanchez

This is one of my favorite X accounts this year. I read her book, loved it, now I'm hooked on her content.

“Pray like it's up to God. Work like it’s up to you.” I repeat this often.

If no leaders go to jail for: - Somalians defrauding us for billions - the Epstein predators harming our kids Who’s getting the pitchforks? If we miss a tax payment it’s straight to jail sooo… Seems pretty damn bipartisan.

I don't talk about this a ton, but now feels right... I used to be a journalist covering human trafficking on the US Mexico border. I’ve crossed the border illegally covering migrants and cartels countless times. I saw young women in the morgue after they were raped and brutalized in Juarez. I saw a man get stabbed by a coyote in the gut, a terrible way to die. I know the sound a human makes when it happens. I knew a kid Neftali Fuentes who crossed 100+ times helping others not die in the desert across Arizona. I’ve seen cartel wars play out on the streets of Juarez, bodies dangling from over passes. I’ve been held at gun and knife point before. Those who say open borders are humane have no idea what they’re talking about. You live in an air-conditioned suburb that might as well be an ivory tower. Do not tell me what we do now is virtuous; it is cowardice. I hope we do what is right, which is secure the border, stop criminals from profiting off of misery, and help support local governments to be better, like El Salvador. I know borders and the separation of humans feels sad and impossible. But if you don’t understand this, yet you’ve never been to the border, never spoken to border patrol, never seen the many crosses of raped women in the desert, maybe get down off your high horse and try to understand the US can only have sanctuary cities... if we can keep the place a sanctuary.

Let’s go HOOSIERS!!!! #iufootball #Hoosiers

We go 4th tonight — this is where the title charge begins!

This is comfortably the worst thing I’ve ever tweeted and I come out with some serious bollocks

EMBARRASSING

LOSING TO 10 MEN JESUS THIS IS SAD

All this Arsenal hype will die very soon don’t worry. I have a plan

I guess it’s up to Manchester United to stop Arsenal now

@UTDTrey If my Aunt had balls, she would be my Uncle. #JustSaying

If the Spurs & Nottingham Forest games ended at Half time, Manchester United would be 2nd & just 4 points behind 1st….

@UTDTrey Yes, thank you and keep chasing.

Arsenal fans telling us thank you everywhere Mfs we are chasing you down😭

@UTDTrey It’s going to be more than a two team race.

I love how everyone thinks the title race is between Liverpool & Arsenal and Chelsea, Man City & United are sneaking in and no one is noticing 😈

@UTDTrey That’s a lot of “ifs”

“If Manchester United win tomorrow & Chelsea beat Liverpool and then we beat Liverpool at Anfield we’ll be only 2 points behind them”
