Since I spend every day saying the same things over and over I figured I should start writing them down. I'll be writing about how and why esports is going to reshape society for the better. jfaz.substack.com/p/ready-player…

nothing prepared me for parallel agentic work as much as starcraft.

It took 9 years and 3 billion miles to get this shot. Pluto’s icy Mountains.

Fred Wilson literally revealed the most important trait of a successful founder:

I was about 11 when I asked my Dad the same and he took the time to sit me down and show me the family balance sheet in excel. He explained assets, liabilities, and equity. From the on he and I discussed it every year, and I cherish those memories. I highly recommend transparency and coaching. Likely correlated that I was running my first business less than 2 years later.

My 11yo son asked me yesterday, “do you have a Net Worth?” Me, “yes. Everyone does. It’s just the value of all that you own minus all the debts you owe.” Him, “what is yours?” Me, “ummm I don’t know if I should tell you that. What do you think it is?” Him, 🫠 Do you guys tell your kids your ballpark net worth or annual income when they ask? I kind of want to answer honestly but I’m also a little worried they might use it against you when you tell them no we can’t buy that $8 thing at the next event we are at or something.

Filling up your high school gym for a Rocket League match goes so hard

@pronounced_kyle As everyone here said, start with Player of Games. It's not sequential, but the written order definitely best supports comprehension. "Culture" is the protagonist civilization across the narrative universe. I envy a first time reader. Enjoy!

I have never read any Iain M. Banks — where should I start? "Culture" isn't a sequential series, it's just a world, right?

Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive. This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

@andrewmccalip What does that make Lewis Ranieri?

The only thing keeping civilization running is the mortgage payment.

@zebulgar "Words and physics just don't mean anything anymore" This is how the entire quantum compute industry feels to me.

NVIDIA has announced AI data centers in space And an AI shipbuilding partnership In the last two days Words and physics just don't mean anything anymore Dear god this has to be the top please, when will it end

I cannot imagine a better NASA Administrator than Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman

Plasma is better in colour! Watch one of our latest #plasma pulses in our ST40 tokamak, filmed using our new high-speed colour camera at an incredible 16,000 frames per second. Each pulse lasts around a fifth of a second. What you’re seeing is mostly visible light from the plasma’s edge, glowing pink. The core is simply too hot to emit visible light. In this footage, lithium is dropped into the plasma. As it interacts, it glows red when excited, then turns green as it becomes ionised, losing an electron. From there, it traces the magnetic field lines, revealing the plasma’s path around the tokamak. Lithium is the focus of our $52 million ST40 upgrade programme, in partnership with @ENERGY and @energygovuk. This builds on pioneering work at @PPPLab and others that has shown that lithium can significantly improve plasma performance. This video comes from ongoing research into X-point radiator (XPR) regimes, a promising operating mode for future #fusion power plants that aims to cool the plasma before it reaches plasma-facing components (PFCs), helping to reduce wear without compromising performance. Fusion research just got a lot more colourful! 👇 tokamakenergy.com/2025/10/15/see… #Fusion #FusionEnergy #EnergyTransition #Innovation

The video form content on X is getting insanely good, but we really need a better browsing and consumption UI for video/audio. The opportunity to build something novel and value unlocking is immense here. @nikitabier @elonmusk

@realEstateTrent My dad 🤣

What is the first thing you think of when I say the word Quickbooks

@BillDA @marshal It looks so nice, but as a former kid... pave it.

@marshal Beautiful. Minor question as someone who also just bought a home with a pea gravel driveway How do kids ride bikes / skates on it? We are considering paving ours…

We’re finally almost finished building our dream home. Here’s some of my favorite features:

We told y'all this would be a good one. The #ScoreMoreWithXboxBallers tournament started with an overtime thriller from @rookicks_ and @DezeReels! Don't just take our word for it, the reactions say it all 😂 #NBA2K26 @Xbox

@IShowSpeedHQ He is a 10 min walk to the best LAN center in the US, just saying...

🚨| WATCH: Speed just SHUT DOWN all of Chinatown in Philadelphia with over 2,000 people outside a chicken shop waiting for him 🤯🇺🇸

@clerkie 🙏🙏

This is the single best thing that has ever happened to LoL scholastic. LANs are going to be so much better

The biggest headache for onboarding new customers at our gaming venues is exactly what you outlined, and it's most often the same use case - parents that just want to play with their kids. We've got a bunch of hacks in place to skip the convoluted 25minute plus setup workflows and just get you in the game, but it's silly we even need to.

Yesterday evening I tried to play Minecraft multiplayer with my 8 yr old. Single worst computing experience I've had in a long time thanks to the whole Microsoft account management. I naively thought "let me create a new account for her, switch her out of my account, use that—

Advisor: why are you wasting time on (founder / company), you need to dump the struggling losers faster. You’ve founded several BILLION dollar companies, keep your bar higher. Me: well, hard to know; I was a struggling loser too, a few times, until we got the companies to work.

Well that’s a wrap for the Philly LAN, we won without dropping a single map. Honestly was an awesome event and experience, would love to do something like this again. Thank you @LocalhostPhilly Thank you @nerdstreet Follow my teamates for the event below!
