Know this, the day will come when all these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of authoritarianism and then one single thing will break the siege…

The world is a museum of passion projects 💯
Quote Tweet
As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
Ship updates, get feedback, iterate, ship again = this is your clock speed
The CEO created positive clock speed pressure & a clever marketing campaign by publicly:
• declaring to ship weekly
• posting weekly update in a thread
• advertising the thread
Smart💥

Each week @EightSleep, no matter how busy we are, we always strive to ship at least one meaningful app design improvement
Continuous improvement and listening to users are the foundation of a great company

An American group made false claims about Russian election interference to interfere with American elections
Quote Tweet
Hamilton 68’s blue-red founding team of Jamie Fly and Laura Rosenberger, told Politico they couldn’t reveal the “dashboard” accounts because “the Russians will simply shut them down.” The real reason? It was bullshit: racket.news/p/move-over-ja

How a Chief of Staff (CoS) can be a “force multiplier” for principal executives / operators — increasing the principal’s effectiveness by a multiple versus just incrementally.
Great “specifics filled” thread 👇
Quote Tweet
1/ I've had a number of conversations with (1) those looking to join a startup as a chief of staff, or (2) founders looking to hire their first CoS.
A lot has been written on this topic already, so I want to highlight a few points I think are under-discussed.

Quote Tweet
A man broke into someones home here in LA while on vacation, changed the locks and set up shop with a fake lease. When homeowners came back to find the stranger in their home they called the police. But because of the fake lease he created,they were told to fight it in court. WTF
Just when you think this is nuts, you go down the rabbit hole of comments to this tweet and realize nuts is normal 🤪

Whether someone likes the Pfizer CEO or not, likes the WEF or not, likes the reporters or not — the fact that an investigative journalism video has been BANNED by Youtube, Facebook, Instagram should wake up EVERYONE.
Quote Tweet
This video has now been BANNED on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
The WEF wants it scrubbed, and their lackeys are happy to oblige.
Thank you @elonmusk for not caving.
7.3M views and counting.
The public want answers.

Most of Trader Joe’s best innovations are rooted in some form of “rule change” or “regulatory arbitrage”👇
Quote Tweet
The Trader Joe's book is the most savage business book I've read. Paraphrasing:
"Our customers were over-educated and underpaid professionals"
"We cater to the newly educated masses. They may lose part (or all) of their income but they will retain their new tastes"

The Science of Slot Machines
Fascinating thread, links & comments👇 (filled with marketing insights)
Quote Tweet
Slot machines are absurd:
— 70% of total Nevada gaming revenue
— In 2022, its $9B revenue was more than North American box office ($7.5B)
— The slot machine at Las Vegas airport recently passed $1B in lifetime revenue

How boring would conversations be if we all agreed on everything?
Klaus: “I believe X”
Everyone: “Yes, I agree as well”
Repeat for entire conversation 🥱
Exhibit A: WEF
Quote Tweet
What strikes me most about the WEF is how little disagreement there is. The largest matters on earth are at stake (supposedly) yet the conferees don't argue. They don't debate. All points seem smugly settled. It's an ego orgy, a great self-satisfied mutual grope.

The Greeks killed Socrates because he was "corrupting the youth" by teaching them to think for themselves.
The war waged against critical thinking is a tale as old as time.

Harsh reality of Fentanyl on the street
Just in San Francisco, hundreds of organized Fentanyl street drug dealers work in shifts like a business, killing 2 people per day in the city
It's destroying the most vulnerable in our communities. It must stop🛑

“When did Pfizer know that the vaccine didn’t prevent transmission?”
Excellent question. And let’s maybe stop calling it a Covid “vaccine”, when it’s a “shot” — just like we don’t call the “flu shot” a “flu vaccine”

You don’t want people to say, “This is a Rick Rubin record?”
“No. I want them to say, ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever heard, and not know why.’” 🔥

Rick Rubin became "the most important producer of the last 20 years" — yet he can barely play an instrument, can’t work a sound board and has, in his own words, “no [musical] technical ability.”

On this day in 2000, Vince Carter scored 47 PTS vs. Ray Allen after the 2000 Olympic Selection Committee chose Ray over Vince. Safe to say VC took the snub personally🔥
He was added to the team & became the leading scorer for Team USA en route to Gold.
