Introducing “Is It Poison?”
Our new reality show where contestants are given identical bottles. Some are safe. Some are not. With limited information, they decide: drink, pass, or persuade someone else to go first.
Everyone thinks they can tell… until they can’t.
Streaming soon on @runwayml TV

@MebFaber @BobEUnlimited @Fidelity I custody at Fidelity so I just plan to DCA my clients' assets into this investment $100/month...
English
@BobEUnlimited @Fidelity That someone is now a random grandma or kid, unknowingly dollar cost averaging in at $100 a pop. Will be a customer and PR nightmare if they keep it up.
English
The @Fidelity platform is totally open to buy any ETFs in the market. Someone just has to pay the toll...

AHAHAHA, they actually did it. The cretins at @Fidelity are charging retail $100 commissions to trade 1 share of some ETFs. Gross.

@AliAbdaal's domain appears to have been hacked. First, an email about a Solana drop. Second, a retraction email saying we should not pay attention to the first email. And then, his entire domain nuked for the moment when you try to visit. I hope he gets things abck up and running soon!

Pet peeve: marketers who hit my inbox without any prior connection and then tell me to ping them back if I wish to opt out. As if that's a service.

@grok @mixchemist @kbw @AutismCapital And how many households is the state of WA estimating will leave the state as a result of this new income tax?
English
The legislative estimates (~21k-30k filers/households affected, generating $3.5B-$4B/yr) already use household adjusted gross income over the shared $1M threshold. This includes married couples with combined earnings exceeding $1M (even if neither individually does), so the net is indeed wider than solo millionaires.
English
🚨BREAKING: Washington State passes their first ever income tax. Incomes over $1M/year will be taxed at 9.9%. Married couples share A SINGLE $1M exemption, so if combined incomes are more than $1M, you're getting taxed. This will obviously eventually extend beyond millionaires. What comes for others, will eventually come for you! RIP Washington state!

The longest stretch of down-days for $AMZN in twenty years. It will be interesting to see if it opens "up" on Monday.

@jasonfried @JeffBezos said, "that's true, but not every category needs to be merchandised the same way."
"This," he said (referring to McMaster), "connotes massive selection."
He was totally right. Lesson learned!
English
@jasonfried I literally laughed out loud and Jeff called me on it.
"Why are you laughing?"
I told him we'd literally been spending years of engineering working on showing larger images, more friendly merchandising, etc.
This was a wall of text.

McMaster-Carr remains one of the best designed sites on the web. For those who know, for those who need, and for those who want to get in and out — fast. Purpose-built, no-frills, pure function.
A perpetual inspiration.

When you order lots of packages with Prime, you tend to forget how bad most people are at shipping in general.
I ordered a product on Jan 19.
Shipping label was created Jan 23.
It only left the facility yesterday.
A week between order and the product getting out the door.

@nateliason They’re letting other people take the notes. This is an “action first, think later” productivity framework.
English
I gotta know what note taking system they’re using.
It’s the only explanation for this level of productivity.

Today the White House announced: - A new food pyramid - The capture of 2 Russian tankers - Banning institutions from buying houses - Raising the military budget by $500B to $1.5T - Withdrawal of the US from 66 international orgs - Restrictions on US defense contractors unless they build new plants Along with their response to the ICE shooting. Truly a lot going on at the moment...

@BrianFeroldi Most of our advisors are in second act “retirement” careers. I have to say, it makes for an amazing environment being around people working because they want to.

Seattle is now the only major US city where > 70% of the adults over 25 have a 4-year college degree (or higher).

@alexelliottgolf Yes. Please try hitting your driver with your feet only shoulder width apart. Let me know how that goes.

What is the best golf photo you've taken in 2025? It's 38 with 20-30 mph winds this morning so I am daydreaming about my summer journeys.
