BLANK STREET COFFEE EXPLORING $100M FUNDING ROUND Blank Street is reportedly in talks to raise over $100M at a valuation approaching $1B, according to the Financial Times, effectively doubling its $500M valuation from last year. Founded by former VCs Vinay Menda and Issam Freiha in 2020, the chain boasts an all star cap table featuring General Catalyst, Tiger Global, and the founders of Warby Parker, Harrys, and Allbirds. With roughly $149M in 2025 revenue and group profitability, its trajectory contrasts sharply with legacy players like Costa Coffee, which recently struggled to find bidders at half of its 2018 valuation. At a $1B valuation, Blank Street would trade at ~6.7x sales, a significant premium over public comps like Dutch Bros (~3.9x) and Starbucks (~3.0x). By prioritizing high tech, small format stores over the traditional lounge experience, the company is betting that extreme efficiency and digital integration can sustain tech like multiples in a brick and mortar world.

llms are weird. they're definitely better, but if you use them a lot and squint you can still see remnants of the same behavior that made them useless before (next-token predictors). and that's dangerous, because they're potentially still the same thing but disguised better.

UPDATE: JFK, LGA, EWR are experiencing extremely long TSA wait times today. (2+ hours in some cases.) All three airports have suspended live wait time reporting and are showing on my dashboard as paused. tsa.fromthetraytable.com

@sarahyang_ai @opt_intellect it does when you’re integrating optimization layers with deep learning. previously the runtime of the layer has been the bottleneck.

While our wonderful president was out playing golf all day, the TSA is falling apart, just like our government! Airports a total disaster!

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

Did the Netherlands really pass a 36% tax on unrealized capital gains? It strikes me as so crazy that I’m getting played by folks looking for clicks. Is that really happening?
