@WaffleHouse I proposed to my wife at WaffleHouse #810 in Malvern, Arkansas. The year was 2002. We asked for the yellow meal ticket as a momento, but our waitress denied this special request. Rules are rules.

@HardcoreHistory I remember Tom Hanks "intro" narration for HBO's "The Pacific." And thinking, this could be a thing on it's own.

May 25 at 8pm (in the USA)the History channel is debuting its massive Second World War 20-part series "WW2 with Tom Hanks". It's a colossal endeavor with lots of new insights. Includes a FABULOUS group of contributors. I was honored to be a part of it. aegm.app.box.com/s/4i0xqazknkp2…

Design teams have a dirty secret: Nobody's Figma file matches what's actually in production. Designers screenshot the app, paste it into Figma, and trace over it like cavemen drawing on walls. That entire workflow just got reinvented with AI. Here's the new loop: You have a problem. Activation sucks on your onboarding flow. Claude Code pulls the ACTUAL current UI from production into Figma. Not some stale file from 6 months ago. What users see right now. You design. Figma is still goated for exploration. Trying 10 versions fast. You push the design back through Claude Code. Open a PR. Engineers put it behind a feature flag. You measure if it worked.

@gurishsharma I think about the Figma stock and how it will probably rebound and be a great investment. But I still can’t pull the trigger. Even though I’m an avid user and see everyday how it’s changed the design industry. Something doesn’t add up here.

@biglithium @aphysicist If you had a time machine and traveled back to the 1920’s Smackover oil boom. “Hey all this brine wastewater you’re pumping back underground.. your grandkids will be pumping it back up for magnesium and lithium in 100 years.”

We're not promising to mine metal on the Moon. We're not promising nuclear fusion. We're not promising to install God in our electrolyzers. What we're promising is an EBITDA-positive magnesium smelter in Arkansas that deletes Chinese magnesium supply control from the US's defense industrial base. We're promising the first new American magnesium production in two generations. We're promising a company valued on cashflows, not "storytelling". That's hard enough to be a miracle and yet Magrathea's team is step-by-step delivering it. An expert global metals trader now joins the consortium that gets it built. Congratulations to everyone involved with helping make it happen!

Q for all of you. Im looking to interview a few college head coaches in person for my Netflix podcast. Not really all about sports. Life, Origin, Philosophies, failure, success, etc. Who should I target that has a great story and would be compelling?

@DannPetty All this hype about Figma. Wonderful tool yes, but we’re still just drawing pictures of websites.

It's silly that I can create all this auto layout design, components, variables, beautiful math and awesomeness but I still can't push the design live. Like, what are we even doing here. I should just be designing in code at this point. GIVE ME THE GO LIVE BUTTON!

"I can spot a Framer site instantly" Yup same with a Webflow site. And a Wordpress site. And a Relume to Webflow site. And a templated site. And a squarespace or wix site. But one is much better than the others.
