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…
Would be interesting to know who pushed to modify the definition of “vaccination” and why? Who benefits most? 🤔
From “PREVENT the disease” (pre-2015) to
“PRODUCE IMMUNITY to a specific disease” (2015-2021) to
“PROTECTION FROM a specific disease” (2021)
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.
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
I’ll be sharing our weekly app improvements, big and small, below
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: https://racket.news/p/move-over-jayson-blair-meet-hamilton…
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 👇
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.
Utah House Bill 215: All families would be able to take their children's education dollars to the education providers of their choosing.
This is the way 👏
Texas next? Let’s do it
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

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.
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.

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"
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
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.
BREAKING: Florida legislators introduced a bill to fund students instead of systems.
ALL families would be able to take their children's education dollars to the education providers of their choosing.
This is the way.
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”
One of the best things you can do for yourself and for your family is to figure out what you actually want and ignore everything else. Everything else is just noise, a distraction.
Focus on what matters most.
Trying to do entrepreneurship without having salesmanship? You just can’t.
👉 You have to be able to sell somebody something.
If you want to be an entrepreneur, you have to learn sales.
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.’” 🔥
“The audience doesn’t know what they want. The audience only knows what’s come before.” 🔥
Rick Rubin helped popularize:
• hip hop: Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, Public Enemy, LL Cool J…
• heavy metal: Metallica, System of a Down, Slayer, Danzig…
• alternative rock: U2, Green Day, The Cult, Red Hot Chili Peppers…
• and country: Johnny Cash, The Dixie Chicks…
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.”
In addition to reducing animal suffering, the bill "will accelerate innovation and get safer, more effective drugs to market more quickly by cutting red tape.”
Previously, *all* drugs in development were *required* to undergo animal studies before being tested in human trials.
The U.S. Will No Longer Require Animal Testing for New Drugs 👏👏
"This bipartisan effort is a step toward ending the needless suffering and death of animal test subjects” — Senator Rand Paul
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.
