@JoseRestonVA Good call congrats

Sold 20% of $ORKA at $101 - I will hold the rest. Not bad 4x return for investment in less than a year

In retrospect “The Dow is over 50,000” was probably the top

@LogicalThesis $meli bottom more interesting

There's been a lot of $SE bottom calling on here for months Another -20% today Now -60% from the highs Sheesh

Pinterest has 480 million monthly users, the audience is 85% female with household income above $75k, and 87% of them have literally bought something from content they saw on the platform And every marketer has completely written it off because they think it's a mood board app. Which makes it possibly the most underpriced distribution channel on the internet right now… Most people have no idea what's happening on Pinterest right now. It's going through the exact same phase TikTok went through in 2020. Shopping features just went live. Shopify integration is active. AI is matching users to purchasable products automatically. But because every brand and agency is fighting over TikTok and Instagram, Pinterest has basically zero competition for organic eyeballs Organic CPM equivalent on Pinterest right now is roughly $0.12 For comparison. TikTok organic is running $2-4. Instagram organic $6-12. Facebook paid $40-60+ in most verticals You're getting 50-400x more reach per piece of content on Pinterest. With a higher income audience. And the content takes 15 minutes to make in Canva But the thing that makes Pinterest actually stupid compared to everything else is content lifespan Twitter content dies in 18 minutes. Instagram maybe 48 hours. TikTok 3-7 days on a good run Pinterest content drives traffic for 4-6 months. Some pins still pull clicks after 2 years Every piece you post is a compounding asset instead of disposable content. A slideshow you make today in Canva can drive traffic for the next year without you ever touching it again. I know someone running a home decor affiliate account making about $7k/month who hasn't posted new content in 4 months. Old pins just keep working. That's physically impossible on any other platform The demographics are ridiculous for selling stuff too. Pinterest users go there to DISCOVER and PLAN PURCHASES. Not scroll mindlessly. Not argue with strangers. Highest purchase-intent commercial audience on any social platform and nobody is competing for it Content that prints on Pinterest is dead simple. Aesthetic slideshows with 5-7 images and text overlay. "Best [product] for [specific use case]" roundup pins that get saved to boards by thousands of people planning purchases. Before/after transformations. The Pinterest audience is obsessed with transformation content. Home renovations, skincare results, closet organization, fitness progress Some mf I follow built 6 Pinterest accounts in the home decor niche and does $30k+/month in affiliate revenue. Total effort is maybe 10 hours a month of making slideshows (Works for men's niches too btw, just way less competition in women's verticals because all the "alpha male marketing bros" refuse to touch Pinterest. Their loss) The same playbook that works on TikTok Shop works even better here. Faceless accounts, high volume native content, affiliate structures. Competition is nonexistent and the content compounds forever instead of dying in a week. We're already testing this as a secondary channel for some of our TT Shop brands and the early numbers are kind of absurd for the effort involved The window is probably 12-18 months before everyone figures this out. Same window TikTok had in 2020-2021 before brands flooded in. Attention moves somewhere new, early movers build distribution cheap, masses arrive, costs go up, and the early movers have infrastructure everyone else is scrambling to build I'll probably regret pointing this out because the whole advantage is that nobody's paying attention yet Run the numbers

Do ice agents know that this is a temp job?

@mitfisto @marcorandazza @TrueNor44295062 How would you prove that you’re an American citizen without due process

@marcorandazza @TrueNor44295062 Why can't we "get on the same team" here? The Constitution correctly protects AMERICAN CITIZENS from search and seizure without a warrant. The Constitution, also correctly, does not offer any rights or protection to people who are not permitted here or AMERICAN CITIZENS.

I'm disappointed that we can't all get on the same team when it comes to the government barging into our homes without a warrant. Think about that power in the hands of an administrative agency you hate. How about the ATF coming into your house because President Harris appointed a lunatic tranny to run the ATF, and they/them decided that they want to come get your guns. Maybe your gun is even illegal under federal law and they're pretty damn sure you have it hidden in your closet. Do you want the nutball that Harris appointed making the decision that there is probable cause for coming into your home? Or do you at least want that nutball to go before an ostensibly neutral magistrate and making the case BEFORE they get a REAL warrant? Yes, I want every last illegal hunted down, thrown in a van, whisked off to an airport, GIVEN DUE PROCESS (if they haven't had it already) and then flung over the border to wherever the fuck they came from, or to Sudan for all I care. I AM NOT WILLING TO TRADE THE FOURTH AMENDMENT FOR THAT RESULT. And you shouldn't be either. Even if we hate each others' politics, this should be 100% common ground.

@KobeissiLetter tough for US Shale companies, supermajors get part of the pie

BREAKING: President Trump says the US is going to be "very much involved" in Venezuela's oil industry going forward. Trump says China is "going to get oil, we are going to allow people to get oil."

@jefftangx He’s gonna propose just to rug you

I’m leaning No

@barbarismcrit We’re just having policy disagreements, this is akin to calling people who are critical of the Israeli government anti semetic.

I strongly believe that the yimby movement is the most concentrated collection of Adolfs Hitler in American politics and I don’t think anything good will happen while they retain a modicum of power.

@loomdoop I just want more constructions to bring down rent prices. We’re just having policy differences

100%. Appointing these people to a transition team, to signify solidarity and entry into the inner circle of governing power is similar in weight to having Atomwaffen and Moms for Liberty. And for someone who is a professed socialist to do this is instantly discrediting.

@zonger55123 @Juche_Gang It’s realizing that most people on the left are 2000-2020 Denmark socialists and not Pol Pot communist

@Juche_Gang there are no "counter revolutionary forces" and you need to stop deluding yourself there will never be a socialist revolution in any western democracy. people are too comfortable, the state is too strong, and democracies function just enough to keep people happy

If by "more" you mean serve counter revolutinary forces, sure.

@brandon_lighty @SlimyCakes Another anecdotal point. Currently live in LA. I think gentrification also happens when people are priced out of “desired” areas and move further out (silverlake, echo park, Atwater village etc)

@junerannosaurus @SlimyCakes So I think the problem here is that market rate house inherently prices out poor people, it is gentrification Increasing market rate housing through deregulation does not lead to less expensive housing it leads to more expensive housing because it’s just a big gentrifying cycle

Stop retweeting me guys I can’t keep dunking on people saying “wHaT aBoUt aUsTiN aNd miNnEaPoLiS”

@brandon_lighty @SlimyCakes Appreciate your perspective on this, having policy difference beats value disagreements.

@brandon_lighty @SlimyCakes For two people. But no it’s definitely not I’m just saying the same dynamic applies across the board.

@brandon_lighty @SlimyCakes Hmm I guess I have a narrower definition of trickle down economy. Annecdoaly I’m moving back to ny. If “luxury” apt didn’t cost 6-7k I wouldn’t go and compete with more “affordable” apts at 4k a month. I think same is true across all levels

@brandon_lighty @SlimyCakes Also don’t really see how rezoning and market based approach is inherently trickle down

@junerannosaurus @SlimyCakes I think an individual discussing policy proposals on Twitter is a bit of a waste of time tbh My point is that the left collectively needs to reject trickle down economic theory for the housing market and actually collectively work to study and establish different policy goals

@brandon_lighty @SlimyCakes Yeah agree on the twitter and trickle down part. I guess I just don’t see much downside to trying while we working on other proposals.

@brandon_lighty @maxdubler But there is proof or at least good evidence that increase construction curtails rent. I think it’s worth trying rezoning/faster permitting to incentivize construction

@maxdubler @junerannosaurus Kinda seems like you’re deflecting because there’s no proof deregulation and rezoning have ever reduced rent lol

@brandon_lighty @SlimyCakes Ok, im glad we agree on the end goal, just policy differences. I dont mind government housing, but why not both in case government housing is not enough?

@junerannosaurus @SlimyCakes Build housing good Lower rent good Deregulation and rezoning does not and has never lead to decreased rent

@brandon_lighty @SlimyCakes I dont mind the bubble popping in more places. as an aside, most bubble pop due to new supply/failure to find the next marginal buyer. Since we dont want to kill the demand side of this equation, increase supply is the better option

@junerannosaurus @SlimyCakes Bubble popping due to housing speculation = YIMBY win lol
