@LastLinePoems @MissLauraMarcus Obviously @LastLinePoems is severely mentally ill. This is why discussions on mental health are so important.

@MissLauraMarcus And get your teeth cleaned. They look brown.

Some may think it’s cruel to have a go at Grace Campbell for that video. It’s as mean as she behaves in it. Two wrongs and all that. And that would be perfectly fair if Grace was 13. But she’s 32. And older women whom she dismisses as, “ugly ugly ugly” have the right to respond.

@SkittleMan60919 @Mappy6984 Sometimes it’s cathartic to do that. Stop judging and generalizing.

Sad. :((

@antonio @BillAckman @ZohranKMamdani Could you please tell me about the legislative wins because I’m not aware of these?

Your point on Mamdani’s inexperience hits hard, but it echoes your own start—launching Gotham young, with no deep executive resume, just Harvard smarts and bold vision. True, a hedge fund’s not NYC’s $117 billion machine, where mistakes hit harder than a fund’s collapse. But your success shows outsiders can learn fast. Mamdani’s legislative wins suggest he’s no slouch. Isn’t betting against an untested upstart a bit like betting against your younger self?

When you go to the polls, if you are considering voting for @ZohranKMamdani, ask yourself whether a 34-year old Socialist with no management, business, construction, or operating experience should control a $117 billion budget and be responsible for managing 285,000 employees including 36,000 police officers whom he does not respect. And don’t forget that he stole the Knicks logo.

In the age of streaming, why are artists releasing so many CDs and Vinyl into the world? Not only is it wasteful, but Vinyl is especially detrimental to the environment. Vinyl relies on fossil fuels for production and can take hundreds of years to decompose. #notcool

Just finished Moby-Dick. Saying my mind was blown is an understatement. Wow

@brianjoseff @immad @bedrockcomputer How are you different from Confluence or any other wiki sites? Besides offering a personal sign-up.

@immad 👋founders--consider organizing your company docs and project files/links in @bedrockcomputer . it's a beautiful, next-gen Drive replacement. bedrock.computer/base

Respond to this tweet with a startup idea. I will tell you whether I would take a investor meeting or not and why for that idea, assuming it came in from a strong warm intro. I can tell in 280 chars whether an idea is interesting to me and why. Maybe it will be useful feedback.

@immad I agree entirely - balancing the operations and costs requires many partnerships. We are funded by NYC, so you're spot on about us needing affiliations with cities.

@maneesawn Out (sry). Seems like something that should be done at city/utility level. Like SF already has organic waste collection. The infrastructure and weight and commodity cost of it seems hard for the math to work out without a city doing it.

@RobertMSterling What about having an anger problem? Going into a rage every time someone brings something mundane to you. Know a bunch of CEOs like that.

I know a CEO who is notorious for having ADHD. His entire team thinks he has zero attention span, and every meeting with him is 15 minutes max, tightly focused on one—and only one—decision. Here’s the thing: It’s all an act. The ADHD is fake. Wait, huh? Why would he do that?! What my friend realized is that most executives in large companies have no incentive not to waste the CEO’s time. As opposed to entrepreneurs—most of whom have chosen that path out of a purposeful desire to embrace more risk—many large-company executives have survived to senior levels of the corporate hierarchy out of a strong sense of risk-aversion. The plains of the Fortune 500, after all, are littered with the bones of explorers who got too aggressive and never made it past the director level. Flowing from that ingrained sense of risk-avoidance is a natural inclination to elevate decisions to a level higher than is necessary, or—even worse—to find oneself in a state of “paralysis by analysis,” in which there’s never quite enough data or research to get to the point of even asking for a decision to be made. Enter my friend’s highly cultivated reputation for having debilitating ADHD. If you work for him, you will not elevate decisions to his level that are supposed to be made at your level, unless there are truly extenuating circumstances. If it becomes habitual, he will replace you with someone not afraid to be decisive. After all, he has a limited attention span and can only make so many decisions in one day before having to go bounce a tennis ball around his office. If you have a meeting with him, you will present one decision that requires his perspective, and you’ll provide only the most relevant three to five pieces of information (six pieces of information supposedly being too much for someone with ADHD). You and your team will do your homework ahead of time and put the effort into distilling all relevant information into just those three to five bullet points. You will not take the cop-out approach of preparing 30 slides, out of fear of looking like you weren’t thorough in your analysis. If you start talking about a sixth piece of information not included in the bullet points, you’re risking him tuning you out and doodling on a piece of scrap paper. (You’re also risking getting replaced.) Now, is this the right approach for everyone? No, of course not. I know some highly detailed-oriented CEOs who love rolling up their sleeves, getting pulled into as many decisions as possible, and studying page after page of research. If that’s your style and it works for you and your organization, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. For my friend, though, his approach has worked out great. He never gets bogged down in unnecessarily long meetings, which protects his (very expensive) time. His direct reports know that they not only can, but are expected to, make decisions commensurate with their level in the organization. He knows that it’s highly difficult to scale an organization if the CEO has to make every major decision, and he has created the structure to empower his subordinates and avoid being a bottleneck on growth. If you’re a CEO, you don’t necessarily need to fake an attention-deficit condition. But you might ask yourself, what can I be doing to protect my time, empower my team, and avoid having the gears of progress in my organization get locked down in unnecessary meeting preparation?

@grittynpinklife @Techweek_ @TatianaDeMaria @AliciaAgramonte Hi, is this exclusively women or can men attend as well?

@arealmermaid2 No, thanks for letting me know. Very intriguing!

@maneesawn Ever check out Joel Salatins Homesteading practices at Polyface Farm? He has pigs helping w/ the composting! #RenewableSustainableOrganic!

In the early 19th century, pigs wandered the streets of Manhattan feasting on garbage. Butchers’ grease produced valuable oils, bone boilers created material for buttons, and the farms of Brooklyn and Queens relied on compost made from the city’s animal and vegetable waste.

RNG market CAGR is 44% - an unprecedented level of growth potential. Therefore, investing in RNG feedstock makes sense not only in sustainability terms but also financially. #zeroday #RNG

RNG is essential in driving the decarbonization of the power grid and transportation, two large and difficult-to-decarbonize sectors of the global energy system. BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, and the world's largest asset managers are investing heavily in digestors.
