You know what’s about to explode? Analog. The real world. 90’s all over.

a company dies once the funny people leave

I tell my son this a lot, and you should tell yours. The future will belong to the kids reading the great books right now. It’s the blueprint of the west, and once understood, they open everything up. Nothing is new.

@ChristianHeiens Bullish. We must keep going.

Over 330,000 Federal employees have been fired, resigned, or retired last year and were not replaced. The Federal workforce is now at its lowest level since 1966.

130 schools said no. He led the losingest program in college football history to a national championship anyway. Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit from Miami. He tried to walk on at his hometown school. They passed. So did FIU. So did FAU. So did everyone else. At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs. Not one FBS offer. His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path. Everyone told him to be “realistic.” “Know your place.” “Be grateful.” He didn’t listen. Because Mendoza understood something most people miss: The worst outcome isn’t failing. It’s never getting the chance to try. Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang. Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools. He took it. He arrived as the third-string quarterback. Spent a year on the scout team. Lost his first four starts. Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line. Still got up. Every time. Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him. So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes. He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history. People laughed. “Career suicide.” “Graveyard program.” “Nobody wins there.” One coach told him something different: “I’m going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.” That was enough. Mendoza wasn’t just playing for football. His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years. Before every snap, he thought of her. “My mother is my why.” Indiana went 16–0. Beat six Top-10 teams. Won their first Big Ten title since 1945. Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns. Won the Heisman—first in school history. First Cuban-American to ever do it. Then came the title game. Miami. Near his hometown. Fourth-and-4. Season on the line. Quarterback draw. The kid 134 schools rejected spun through defenders and dove into the end zone. Game over. Indiana—national champions. The losingest program became the best team in America. All because a 17-year-old refused to believe “no” was the end. Rankings don’t decide your ceiling. Gatekeepers don’t write your ending. Being overlooked isn’t a verdict—it’s a starting point. Sometimes all you need is one shot… and the courage to bet on yourself when nobody else will. Don’t quit. Credit: Barclay Mullins

@ShehanJeyarajah You’ll be gone by June

I came in a Miami skeptic, but eating a Cubano and drinking a Cuban coffee by the ocean when it’s 65 degrees outside is peak living

@clashreport Get him on Reta

Trump: A friend of mine—very smart, very rich, very powerful—but very fat. He took the fat drug. I won’t say which one. It was Ozempic. The drug doesn’t work on him. I saw him recently—he’s actually fatter than ever.

@JeremyTate41 Hilarious 😂

When I shampoo my four-year-old, it sounds exactly like I’ve always imagined a Civil War–era amputation would sound with no anesthesia.

@balajis Keynes was a demon

🚨Great clip on the GOLD STANDARD. Show this to everyone you know.

This is what they took from us.

Hear me out: A start-up, but all they do is make appliances using vintage patents from the 50s and 60s and everything lasts for forty years instead of seven to ten.

@j_fishback Maybe build the data centers AND add additional power plants for more capacity? More jobs + lower electricity cost. Not difficult buddy.

BREAKING: Byron Donalds says he will build new AI data centers in Florida. Get ready to pay up for these data centers with higher electricity bills. If I’m Florida Governor, I will not allow *any data centers* to be built that drive up your electricity bill. Florida First.

Sometimes I’ll see a dad sitting with his son, or playing a game of catch in the park and think about how special it is. What I’d give to go back to a day like that The kid has no idea what he has in that moment and how fleeting it really is. The thing about dads is they truly are the only man who will ever want you to be better than them. And one day they are gone. I lost mine a year ago, and it’s something we all will go through. Today is a great day to call yours if you still can. Just to talk.

Bitcoiners paying with cash. This is something that needs to happen a lot more often. Without cash we're all fucked.

A message everyone needs to hear right now.

I think about this at least 1x a week.
