Doing anything at a world-class level requires intensity. Intensity isn't really about gritting your teeth. It's about a wholehearted devotion to your craft. You can see intensity in people's face. Their eyes open a little wider and the pierce of their gaze makes it feel like they're zooming into what's in front of them. Intensity is the defining characteristic of effective entrepreneurs like Frank Slootman, Steve Jobs, and Walt Disney, and the quotes below do a good job of describing it. All this comes from a piece from @thogge. He writes: "I have been a part of 3 exceptional startups, and each of them had a culture of intensity, with the most intense being the most successful. I have also observed this across dozens of other startups – those who end up breaking out operate with a very high level of intensity. Perhaps the best summary of what I mean by intensity is Frank Slootman’s performance culture: 1) Raise the quality bar 2) Increase the speed 3) Narrow the focus Doing all of these things to an intense degree is what I mean by intensity. Most startups care about quality, but not intensely. They want to increase speed, but not intensely. They think focus is important, but they don’t focus intensely." tylerhogge.com/2024/01/29/a-f…

My brother’s girlfriend’s cousin and his family were caught in their vehicle in Maui while the wildfires suddenly erupted around them. No cell service, so Apple Emergency SOS was the only way they could get in contact with first responders. Literally saved their lives.

Not even an ETA for when they’ll reopen. Whole city is closed. @ChipotleTweets

So I drive to one and guess what. Totally closed. No indication of this ahead of time. Hours posted are 10:45am-10pm daily. Couldn’t be farther from the truth, this has happened to me countless times @ChipotleTweets

Hopping on Twitter for the first time this year to say @ChipotleTweets really needs to fix this If you need to raise prices to raise pay and hire more staff, go for it. I try to place an order and see this frequently around dinnertime 😭

Can it actually be the end of the year already?! Please click here to share a toast to the holidays and the promise of a new year. When you do, we’ll say thank you with a donation to shelters in our communities. Best wishes from all of us at Publitek. publitek.com/xmas21/

As you are shopping, prepping and preparing your Thanksgiving meals, we'd like you to know a little more about the work behind every ingredient and the people doing that work. Here's a thread for everyone who wants to thank a farm worker this week. #WeFeedYou

THIS AD IS AMAZING! Retweet and watch it right now 🔥

Reminder: Newsmax settled a defamation suit brought by a Dominion Voting Systems executive with an apology and admitted that allegations of voter fraud that it aired were untrue. They are nothing but propaganda for the willfully ignorant.

@DetroitBORG the Z fold3 is my favorite in-between for when i'm on the go!

iPad mini 6 might be an iPad I’d actually use…but I probably won’t. I’m an iPhone or Desktop sort of guy. I either play on my iPhone on the go, or I sit at my desk and work. No in-between.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the upcoming iPhone 13 series will feature low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication connectivity, which will allow users to make calls and send messages when cell signal is not available

@michaelmiraflor Ming Chi is certainly one of the more reliable leak sources! Samsung certainly spends the most on ads in the west of any other brand beyond Apple; I wouldn't put it past them to run something like this but I'm not so positive this will have the desired effect. Time will tell

@jozefgs_ this is a rumor that had gotten a lot of traction and per the link i posted it has already moved markets. perfect time to test some sort of reactionary social tactic. maybe this is just the test for the full offensive when bigger news comes out (or the day of the event).

Someone is funding a meme-based anti-iPhone 13 social campaign. Feels like that influx of anti-Airbnb memes from a few months ago. Search for "iPhone 13" right now and you'll find a bunch of memes getting traction from more or less anonymous accounts or meme accounts.

@michaelmiraflor Also, these memes do exist every year and are generally recycled. The "open a gift box with the same shirt" memes have been around for many years now. What's different is this year they have gained way more traction than ever before! boredpanda.com/apple-iphone12…

@jozefgs_ This does not happen every year. The timing does make sense. First major confirmed iPhone 13 announcement in a while was made this AM. cnbc.com/2021/08/30/iph…

@michaelmiraflor Honestly this trend happens every year, but this year it's before anyone's even seen what the new iPhone looks like. The timing makes no sense from an organic perspective.

The more I think about this the more it aligns with how we're political digital strategy teams have been operating and executing. Some sort of Cambridge Analytica-type firm sold a brand (Samsung?) on the same type of aggressive meme approach to attack Apple. Who? Why?

@TechHighest @m_clindon @archiegee_ I also removed my Z Fold2 screen protector the first week. After a full year of use there was not a scratch on the inside screen. I'm super glad I removed it!

@m_clindon @archiegee_ You dont, I used my fold2 for a year and removed the screen protector on day one.. Let me tell you, even last week it was in perfect condition And I didn't take care of the phone, @archiegee_ probably saw my tweets so he knows what I'm saying

PSA to all Z Fold 3 users: You can remove the screen protector from the inside screen with ease!

Lydia Rodriguez, a mother of four, was unvaccinated and died of COVID-19. Before she went on a ventilator, she had a final request. "Please make sure my children get vaccinated," she said, according to family. trib.al/pvTWfvW
