@DeemTheDreem You were today years old when you realized companies need to be profitable to stay alive.

I was yesterday years old when I found out private equity is what killed Blockbuster and not streaming, like most of us assume.

@esjesjesj Loser take. No need to get offended and no need for her to apologize for people’s misunderstandings.

@spenserskates @dcb_147 What’s the best way to short your company?

@dcb_147 Oh yeah most are terrible. I'd love your feedback on what we've done- you don't even need to talk to a sales rep!

Too many VCs are funding AI companies that should be features. 12+ startups have raised $72.8M in the last few months for AI visibility (SEO for LLMs). We built it in 3 weeks with 3 people and shipped it for free.

@IterIntellectus “we convinced women that motherhood is a prison, then sold them antidepressants as liberation” is an absolute banger

it’s interesting how when i tell people my wife is pregnant, reactions split by sex, but not how i’d expect men are genuinely excited. they offer help, advice, tell stories about their kids or how they can’t wait to have their own. women pretend to be happy, put on a polite smile, then change the topic. in hindsight it makes sense. for decades women have been taught that motherhood is the death of self. that a child ends their life instead of enriching it. men, on the other hand, are rediscovering fatherhood as the only stable experience left in a backward world. it’s one of the strangest inversions of modernity. the sex evolved for creation has been brainwashed to fear it. the sex accused of avoiding responsibility is now the one craving it. somewhere along the way, fertility was rebranded from power to pathology. we told women that their womb was a defect to be managed, medicated, or delayed, and called the resulting anxiety “freedom” the real tragedy of the modern world. we convinced women that motherhood is a prison, then sold them antidepressants as liberation

@SierraPlatform Paying for an ad to showcase a raise. Can I short this company?

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $350M additional capital at a valuation of $10B, led by Greenoaks, which is doubling down on Sierra.

Wife is 38 weeks pregnant First baby could be here any day now Best tips for a first time dad to survive the first month with a newborn?

@academic_la How ironic ñ this is coming from YOU 🤣

Wow. I just discovered this quote from Charlie Kirk: "Jewish donors have been the No. 1 funding mechanism of radical open-border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits. This is a beast created by secular Jews and now they're coming for Jews, and they're like, "What on Earth happened?" And it's not just the colleges. It's the nonprofits, it's the movies, it's Hollywood, it's all of it." Why on earth are Jews celebrating him as if he is a hero? Talk about self-hatred.

@antoniogm @grok explain the paradox referenced in this tweet

This of course explains the 'Alabama vs. France GDP per capita' paradox that the Europoor discourse loves to go on about. One ambles around Mobile or Detroit vs. Lyon or Bordeaux, and absent other knowledge, it's very clear which one you'd say is the wealthy society (never mind looking at life expectancy, crime rates, etc.).

@aubreystrobel Controversial take: you can just say no when being asked to go on a trip. It’s not about you.

controversial take: i think asking your friends to attend any sort of out of the country week-long bachelorette or bachelor party is incredibly selfish

@unusual_whales @grok what is the median?

@MirabelTweets1 2 proves 3 is wrong

I’m a British Jew in England I didn’t interpret #DeathToTheIDF as a call for people to kill me because 1. I’m not in the IDF 2. It doesn’t call for the death of individuals - the clue is in “The IDF” 3. I’m not brain dead

@RepOgles @AGPamBondi You’re a disgrace to conservatives

Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.

@nic_carter Where does he mention posts? Are you that stupid you didn’t listen to the video?

Congrats you morons turned nyc into Britain. Seasoned criminals roam free while ordinary people who post mean words go to prison. Anarcho tyranny.

@adamscochran This is such a sad and pathetic take.

Made the decision today that I’ll be exiting my Coinbase positions (stocks/bonds) and keeping my assets elsewhere for the time being. I’ve been a Coinbase customer for over a decade now, and appreciate the early work they did in the space. And while I don’t agree with being political silent (obviously) I can justify a business choosing to remain politically neutral and cause focused. That’s fair. But sponsoring a military parade, in a divided country, with already split views of crypto isn’t true to this policy; and even if it wasn’t weird and gross, it’s just bad marketing that hurts this industries adoption. And it comes on the heels of a lack of care and responsibility with user data. Treating users like line items. If Base continues to decentralize in a credibly neutral way, maybe I’ll still use that. If Coinbase corrects the ship maybe I’ll be back. But as a long time customer, large share holder and long time advocate - this just isn’t the Coinbase I once knew, that stood for the values of this space. I know so many great and well intentioned people at Coinbase, and I hope their voices and hard work gets heard and Coinbase can right the ship. But for now, it’s time for me to vote with my wallet and use alternatives that either align with my values or that can actually keep their “credibly neutral” stance, instead of only applying it conveniently. I’d encourage those of you who do care about this industry, and the values of decentralized, transparent systems, to consider how you’re voting with your wallet - and make a choice that’s right for you. And I’d encourage Coinbase to figure out where they’ve lost their way, and how they can come back home.

@jeremykauffman North Korea

Can you imagine what America would look like if every protester, rioter, and journalist in California was simply shot dead for violating the law?

@ramit You’re not factoring potential rent and what the actual marginal cost is.

Taxes + common charges (~HOA) are nearly $5,000/month Do you see why I constantly tell you to run the numbers?

After 2.5 years, this apartment sold for $155,000 more -- pretty great profit! Yet the seller actually lost money How is that possible?
