Sorry to be serious on here but guys - nothing like this is free. Every decision matters.
Trying to get away with seemingly little things like this is how one slowly erodes their soul.
It may feel good to ‘get one over’ on someone in the moment, but there is always a consequence. It may not be immediate. It may not be direct. But you always pay a price.
You are the aggregation of your choices & actions.
Brick by brick, every $40 you steal builds a worse version of you. And you’re the one who has to live with it.

@LizWolfeReason ❤️❤️ I had a brother who only lived for a day and I still think about him

King Solomon died yesterday at two and a half months old. We loved him really well, and we don't have any regrets. We got nine days at home with him after 61 days in the NICU. Nine will never feel like enough, but we must accept what is given to us––we were never in control.
Let's take stock of all God's mercies, how He worked through people: My OB, who heard my conviction about carrying Sol to term even with his disabilities, and supported it fully, with empathy and respect; the nurses in the Lenox Hill NICU, where he spent the majority of his time, who loved him so tenderly, like he was their own; his physical therapist, who saw extreme hope for him despite his disabilities, and tried to make it so; my mom, who put her own life on hold to come live in New York with us for the whole winter, to watch Zev and keep our household running; Zev, who wanted to wear matching pajamas with his brother each night he was home (and some of the nights Sol was in the NICU), who was eager to come to the hospital with us to play in the lobby even though he wasn't often allowed in the NICU, who chose not to be afraid of hospitals or tubes but to touch and kiss and snuggle his brother whenever he was able; @nwilliams030 and @rSanti97, who camped out at the hospital during Sol's final days so we would never feel alone, who watched Zev whenever our family had to dip back down to Texas; the people who covered us in prayer all over the country. Perhaps most of all, I'm grateful for my husband: He wasn't Catholic or pro-life when we met, but life experience has brought him to these beliefs. They ground us now; his faith is steadfast. He didn't leave Sol's side during those final, hardest days. He doesn't falter.
Something tragic happened to our family, but we won't become permanently sad or dark; we really believe in God's promises. We're called to hope, no matter what, and the best we can do is serve our children with everything we've got. That's what we did, and in the process we got to glimpse the goodness of the Lord over and over again.

After 61 days in the NICU, our Solomon was finally released last week to come start life at home. Thank you for all of your prayers; it was the darkest, scariest, worst two months of my life. But God showed his grace to us in so many ways, and many people banded together to allow me to spend every single day with him in the NICU. We are so grateful to the nurses who loved him like their own; to his physical therapist who is helping him overcome & adapt to his disabilities; to the doctors who performed his surgery; to our priest who baptized him in the hospital; to the friends and family who packed lunches for us, and watched our toddler, and did our laundry, who prayed with and for us and still do. I am grateful in particular for my husband and my mom, who showed me Christlike grace throughout, and for our 3-year-old, who didn't let his joy become dampened by all this fear and sorrow—an example from which we could all stand to learn. "I remain confident of this," Psalm 27 reminds us. "I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." The Lord's goodness has been shown to us every day of these 61. People sometimes denigrate Christians as just those seeking comfort, needing a story to tell themselves. But yes! We are comforted by the Lord. He shows up for us in all kinds of ways, when we're looking—and when we're not. And He looks after the scared and grieving mother, the sick and vulnerable child, the family in need. He did for us, many times over. And many of you did, too, through prayer and acts of kindness. Thank you.

One reason to promote classical architectural styles is that they're harder to mess up.
With most classical styles, so long as you stick to a few simple rules, there are many ways to customize your house in a way that expresses your individuality but isn't offensive to your neighbors.
There are lots of things to customize: window shutters, the light above the doorstep, the railing along the stairs, etc.
These things are relatively easy to pull off well. You don't need to do anything complicated.
Compare that to modern buildings which are designed to be unique and singular. They're easier to mess up in part because they don't pull from a tradition that you can easily borrow ideas from. The point isn't that modern architecture can't be done well. Rather, it's easier to destroy with one bad decision.
This is one reason why the brownstone-lined streets of New York are so charming. The homes are similar enough to feel cohesive, but different enough to keep things interesting.

@nikitabier Thx for doing this! Reading long form on a phone is no bueno and the audio reader is maybe the best feature of substack

I love Derek.
He came on MFM.
I tried to convince him + people like him that capitalism is good.
And that not only can you make a great living while having fun and providing value, but if you're really good at what you do, you owe it to the world to make money so you can continue giving value to the world.
Something I've noticed about people who are artsy, soulful and amazing at their craft (those are all good things)...they think making money or charging for something is bad.
My goal is to convince them that they're not just wrong but they're doing their craft a disservice.

my impression is that it's very easy to make money online so long as you're willing to be a boastful, ego-centric bullshitter and sell sham products to a growing fan base. you can easily be a millionaire this way. and perversely, this wealth only earns you more credibility

I’d like to announce my intention to invest up to $500 into transforming reusable rocket technology.

French President Emmanuel Macron just announced that France is investing $30 million in artificial intelligence as part of his plan to put France & Europe ahead of the United States in the AI race. Part of the money will also go to climate change initiatives. LOL.

I've got a buddy who sold his company for ~$70m.
So, it was a massive financial success.
However, he HATED the life he made for himself while running it.
His company felt like a prison:
- 16-hour days. Skipped his honeymoon.
- Micromanaged everything.
- Built his entire identity around the selling.
After selling, like all of us idiots, he started his second company.
My buddy, btw, is @jnpayne.
But for his next company, he made a bunch of rules. Rules so that he'd be happier during the build process.
- The hours were 8 to 5.
- No weekends.
- Fully remote.
- No meetings where he wasn't essential.
- And a month-long family trip to Europe every summer with his wife and three kids.
Recently, he did something super cool: moved his entire family of five to Spain.
Other things Josh did that I like:
- he removed himself from operational meetings
- scaled every 1:1 to monthly
- muted Slack channels where he wasn't essential
- assigned owners to projects and stopped poking around.
His words: "I frankly just dropped the ball on a lot of things."
But...it seems to be working.
His new company, its called Onward, and they're very profitable with 20 people.
I LOVE hearing stories like this.
Because the entire point of this business thing, at least for me, is to put your dent into the world but doing it your way.
On twitter, podcasts, etc...there are so many rules that we take for granted. So we often just fit into a box of business building.
But I've done so many interviews with baller founders + see it in Hampton...there are 10,000's ways to kill it.
