Today I met with the Holy Father Pope Francis. I am grateful for his invitation to meet, and I pray for his good health. Happy Easter!

@lukeburgis Pope Lenny could...and and he's straight as a point.

One good gay bartender can commandeer an entire bar—he can generate a metaphysical desire in every straight man there, who secretly wishes that his sexuality was equally as interesting

@lukeburgis Sounds like the cuarantina of Latin America…mom might like it too…

Advice needed: being told/reading we shouldn’t really take our future newborn out of house to public places for around 2-3 months, until immunizations received etc. Is this true?

@lukeburgis You starting her at age 13? 🤓👨‍🎓 Bold

What is a great vintage from anywhere in the world this year that would age extremely well? I would like to buy a case of 2023 wine to commemorate the year of our daughter’s birth, so Claire and I can drink a bottle with her on special occasions 14, 16, 18, and 21+ years from now

@lukeburgis What’s up?

I am sad today.

this goes so hard

If you don’t want to rock the boat, don’t get in it. The boat will always rock, learn how to steady it in the roughest water.

@lukeburgis Americanata!! Ma dai!

I started writing Wanting in a beautiful place, and so the next one starts in one too. Focusing too much on content makes us forget how much real places shape it—you have a different conversation here than you do in a podcast studio with artificial lighting and bulky headphones.

👌I went through 3 years of oral exams when getting one of my degrees. While it was nerve racking at times (especially bc they were in a foreign language for me), I always walked out of them with a sense satisfaction and learned the material better than I would have otherwise.

@caudex_optimus Ha! They’re doing it every day for economic ends…I’m not surprised they can do it for curiosity

@caudex_optimus Wait, is this for real, or just a joke about 2020?

@lukeburgis Grundaxioms

What does “Layer Zero” make you think of?

@lukeburgis I'd love to hear this talk

Some Columbia University students got a dose of spiritual theology from me that I don’t think they were expecting. But certain questions demand certain answers, and all questions demand honest ones.

@Chris_SmithsJ @BigBlobApe Have your ever read up on St. Francis first rule (later revised) where he proposed that Franciscans live in Muslim lands and win them over, essentially, by simple service to them…a compelling image

How old were you when you discovered the space bar on your phone isn’t just for spaces?!

They’re no match for droidekas

@caudex_optimus Brilliant

@LucidCiC @AnimateReaIity Cardano has this, others don’t

@LucidCiC @AnimateReaIity Yeah, that’s not something you can just conjure up with a statement like this. Thankfully (and why I’m here) you can’t just conjure up dedication, level-headedness, and a desire to undersell/over deliver.

We need to transition away from technical bag pumping tweets about Cardano to cool kid vibe setting tweets because of Cardano. This community is very strong but I do think that intense technical dialogue is a huge turn off for most. Think about it from a marketing perspective.
