I built 10 Claude Code skills for Meta Ads They're free. Here's what they do: 👇 Operations: bleed-check: finds ad sets burning cash with zero conversions, pauses them rebalance: shifts budget from losers to winners automatically fatigue-scan: catches creative fatigue before your CPMs spike weekly-report: pulls KPIs, compares WoW, sends to Slack Creative & Intelligence: spy: scrapes competitor ads from the Ad Library, diffs weekly bulk-creative: generates 50–500 ad variations, renders to PNG hooks: writes 50+ copy variations using PAS, AIDA, BAB frameworks deploy-ads: reads a manifest, creates campaigns via API in minutes Setup & Architecture: setup-capi: generates production-ready Conversions API code audience-audit: finds overlap, maps funnel stages, fixes exclusions How to use them: Drop the .md files into .claude/commands/ Set your Meta access token Type /bleed-check, /spy, /hooks — it just runs ~25 hours/week of manual work → automated. No complex setup. No code to write. Just slash commands. Full skill files + setup guide in the article. Comment "CLAUDE" and I'll share the link (must be following!)

Your brain peaked musically somewhere around age 16. Everything since then has been a dopamine echo. Between the ages of 12 and 22, the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, the same circuit that processes cocaine and sex, fires at levels in response to sound that it will never reach again for the rest of your life. A 2011 McGill study used PET scans and fMRI simultaneously and found that music triggers dopamine release in the striatum at peak emotional arousal. The caudate nucleus lights up during anticipation of the good part. The nucleus accumbens lights up when it hits. Your brain is treating a guitar riff with the same reward architecture it uses for food-seeking and pair bonding. During adolescence, that response is dramatically amplified. Pubertal hormones are flooding the system. The prefrontal cortex is still wiring itself. Memories formed during this window get encoded with a density of emotional tagging that nothing in your 30s or 40s can replicate. Researchers at the University of Leeds identified this as the “reminiscence bump”: the period when your sense of self is forming, and the music playing during that formation becomes structurally integrated into your identity. A 2025 longitudinal study from the University of Gothenburg analyzed 40,000 users’ streaming data across 15 years. Younger listeners explored broadly across genres. Older listeners collapsed into increasingly narrow loops, almost entirely anchored to music from their teens and early twenties. Your brain stopped losing interest in new music years ago. It’s running a cost-benefit analysis. Familiar songs deliver guaranteed dopamine with zero processing cost. New songs require pattern recognition, expectation-building, and repeated exposure before the reward circuit kicks in. Past 25, most people stop paying that tax. The one variable that predicts whether someone keeps exploring: the personality trait “openness to experience.” Score high, you keep seeking. Score average, you default to the familiar forever. The fix, if you want one: deliberate exposure. Three listens minimum before your auditory cortex builds enough predictive models to generate a reward response. One passive listen on a playlist will never get there. Your brain needs repetition to find the pattern, and it needs the pattern to release dopamine.

@bhalligan Wolf is my favorite. Irsay let me play Tiger in 2012. Would you let me play Wolf sometime? It would be a dream come true. deadstubs.com/tiger

Not so humble brag coming. I bought Jerry Garcia’s “Wolf” guitar 9 years ago for $1.9mil. Its sister “Tiger” guitar just sold for $11.5mil. Low supply & high demand is timeless.

Derek Trucks is playing Allman Brothers on Jerry Garcia’s guitar, Tiger. This is not a drill! 🎥 sgibson818

Derek Trucks went a little too hard on Jerry’s Tiger last night and had to fix a string 🔥 📹by @_AlwaysOnTour_

@darrenrovell @ChristiesInc I got to play Tiger in 2012 and it was amazing. deadstubs.com/tiger/

Jim Irsay paid a combined $6 million for these three guitars. Tonight, at @ChristiesInc, they sold for a combined $33 million.

🚨 MIKE POSNER SAYS HIS $70,000 ROLEX MADE HIM MISERABLE — SO HE DITCHED IT FOR A $40 TIMEX American singer and producer Mike Posner says buying a luxury Rolex turned out to be one of the worst “deals” he ever made. He thought the watch would make him feel cooler. Instead, it made him anxious. Posner says every time he traveled with it, he was constantly worried: • it would get scratched • a backpack zipper would damage the face • he’d forget it in a hotel safe He says the watch was a Rolex Day-Date with a diamond bezel, a model often referred to as the “Presidential” Rolex because it has been worn by multiple U.S. presidents. Eventually he realized something unsettling. “I didn’t possess the Rolex… it possessed me.” So he ditched it. Now he wears a simple Timex and says it gives him way more joy because he doesn’t have to worry about it. His message: “Don’t slave away for possessions… don’t let your possessions possess you.” Did Mike Posner just say the quiet part out loud about luxury status symbols?

@ecomchigga SHELF

found a gumroad exploit that's basically free sales and nobody's using it the related products hack here's what most people don't know: gumroad has a "discover" section that recommends products based on what people already bought you can't control if gumroad features you but you can hijack other people's traffic the exploit: step 1: find the top 10 sellers in your niche on gumroad step 2: look at exactly what they're selling. price point. format. title structure. step 3: create a product that's the obvious "next step" from theirs they sell cold email templates? you sell "how to personalize cold emails at scale" they sell a budgeting spreadsheet? you sell "how to automate your budget with free tools" step 4: price yours slightly lower than theirs step 5: use similar keywords in your title and description what happens: gumroad's algorithm sees keyword overlap buyer purchases their product gumroad recommends yours as "related" you get their traffic for free one guy i know does $4-6K/month entirely from related product traffic he's never posted content has zero followers doesn't even have a social media account just has 7 products that sit "next to" top sellers he calls it "digital shelf placement" same reason brands pay millions to be at eye level in grocery stores except on gumroad it's free if you know the keywords the real shit: you can research which products get recommended together buy the top product in your niche screenshot what gumroad recommends after purchase those are your targets reverse engineer their keywords build the "part 2" they didn't make i mapped out the whole system. finding top sellers. keyword extraction. product positioning. title formulas that trigger the algorithm. the "next step" framework.

@tommolog @yarboglobal Can you control that with Clawdbot and can it mine crypto while it's charging?

Autonomous Snow Blower Update: The @yarboglobal completed the first pass of the driveway and went back to the charging dock. After about 1.25hrs, it will be 80% charged and will automatically return and continue to clear the driveway. I plan to run it during the entirety of the storm and will post my review video on @stateofcharge this week. So far, it's kicking A$$!

This can’t be legal.

@iris_seraphina I thought that was Ozzy for a second.

This is who Michael Scott should have ended up with… 😳
