“The test of a first-rate intelligence,” F. Scott Fitzgerald reminds us, “is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”
I am unbelievably excited to announce $50M+ in new contracts awarded to @OrdoSchools. While everyone else is showing off fundraises, we’re sharing our team’s massive growth in 2025, with MUCH MORE TO COME! Ordo is serving millions of fresh meals to students in 100+ schools…
Rick Rubin compares making music through AI to the early rising of Punk Rock and says it should be a genre called Vibe Coding “When Punk Rock came if you had something to say, you could say it. You didn't need expertise.. just your ability to convey it that’s vibe coding now”
the penalty for being average has never been so severe, but the payout for being extraordinary has never been higher.
Pusha T says Kanye’s rants stem from knowing he fumbled a cultural empire chasing LVMH "That man knows that I was the only person who told him like, Hey, man, Virgil got his line poppin… Why don't you make your own LVMH, bro? You got Virgil. You got Yeezy. You have Just Don's.…
Ezra Klein: Writers who outsource their research to AI operate on a flawed model of how the mind works.
when you make choices that align with your inner wisdom, you will make sense to the people that you are meant to make sense to.
From my favourite Paul Graham essay “One of the most dangerous illusions you get from school is the idea that doing great things requires a lot of discipline”

My most hippy belief I think is true is that changing your vocabulary changes how you perceive reality. You're just prompt engineering your brain all day. Try shuffling out these 5 words: 1. Decision --> Experiment 2. Problem --> Puzzle 3. Relax --> Energise 4. Failure -->…
Ryan Coogler says a ‘X-FILES’ reboot will be his next project. “I’m fired up to get back to it, and that, you know, some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really fucking scary” (Source: youtube.com/watch?v=Cy8cj1…)
One of the best pieces of advice I’ve gotten from @RyanHoliday:
8. Betting on himself When Carrey was 15, his father lost his job. It shattered the illusion of “security” and showed Jim something deeper. “You can fail at what you don't want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.”
Bill Gates: “I was a maniac in my 20s.”
one of the most underrated shifts is that every company is becoming its own broadcast network too. nearly all of them either already have or are building podcast studios, live recording setups, or some kind of in-house production space. openai has one. every vc firm has few.…
You only need dumbbells to build muscle. I've lifted for 15 years and tried every dumbbell exercise in the galaxy. Discovered I only need 15 dumbbell exercises. ~Bookmark this to build an amazing physique with only dumbbells.~
golfcart is an upcoming YouTube documentary behemoth. Top quality stuff. Always happy to see stuff like this because it pushes me further. Competition is healthy
Welcome to the Age of Vibes, where the written word is about to get super casual. AI writing is bland and corporate so human writing will go the opposite direction: playful, friendly, unhinged. Gotta let your personality rip to prove it's you, not AI.

Warren Buffett just made the $12.7B chess move nobody saw coming While markets hit record highs, he stockpiled $334B of cash Now he's up $12.7B while Musk lost $130B after Trump's tariffs obliterated $5T in 48 hours Here's how the Oracle of Omaha is turning panic into profit:
