Most date-night ideas lists are made for couples. As my parents get older & I've gotten closer to them, taking Mom & Dad out on regular dates has become a non-negotiable. I couldn't find a good list of parent-date ideas, so I made one! Here are my top 20 tried & tested 🧵

@adamtaylorl Angle

Everyone is using Claude for Meta ads right now. Very few founders are using it to extract data-backed angles that actually scale. Which is why I built a resource with the exact Meta Angle OS Claude Prompt I use to build $1M/mo creative systems... Most brands are using AI to come up with ideas, but it's trained on absolutely nothing, so it just spits out low-effort "AI slop" that fatigues in 3 days. This prompt automatically analyzes your Amazon reviews, Reddit threads, and post-purchase surveys to extract the deep psychological triggers your buyers care about. So that you get the exact personas, angles, and hooks you need to scale past $1M/mo. It gets the founder out of the daily execution weeds and stops you from throwing spaghetti at the wall. It's yours now if you: Comment "angle" and I'll send it over. (You need to be following so I can DM it to you.)

I wonder how common this is for ecom/Shopify stores. We just analyzed the last ~50k orders and all support tickets during that time. Only 87 people requested a refund (~0.17% return rate). We have a 100-day money-back guarantee that almost nobody claims. Pretty proud of this.

buy your aging parents a car that drives itself 🥺 you won’t regret it

@simon_ohler @nopranablem @katrinadlc @CharleyTodd It's called the trinity knot! It's a full windsor but tied with the small end of the tie & you tuck it into itself at the end. Tutorial here 🫶 youtu.be/W933pL6WRXs?si…

@nopranablem @katrinadlc @CharleyTodd @joejlam Ok lads but I also want to know how to tie that knot if you know what I mean

mfw I'm reading a handwritten card from @katrinadlc and @CharleyTodd after I Married them (I officiated)

@Creatextravel Interested!

I have hundreds of creative strategies that are working commission only - they take anywhere from 5%-10% of ad spend of the creatives they make. They have made me close to 5 million in revenue since starting with them. If they don't work you don't pay. Comment below if you're a brand owner doing at least $100k a month and want an intro.

great relationship with your mom 101: - talk to her everyday till she hangs up (important) - regular good mornings & good nights - create talking points with her (share mundane gossip, complain about your day) - gift her a smartwatch so you can compare step counts every day (i use apple, it has a compete feature) also has the added bonus of keeping her healthy - be intentional in expressing love (ex. get over the awkwardness of hugging your mom and do it often)

Every week I call my mom. We generally talk for 30 minutes and then I hang up. Today I set out to talk to her until she decided she decided it was time to hang up. We talked for took one hour and forty-three minutes.

after months of hacking, prototyping, and experimenting, MESH studio -- an experimental media lab -- has completed our first research fellowship
