Having an agricultural background makes for weird convos, part 987689/∞: F1: ... we acquired this company for $50m and one oxen me: Oxen is plural, city boy. One ox, many oxen. F2: Do you brag to gym bros that you’re yoked? me: NO! A yoke is for 2 oxen-you can’t be yoked alone.
Thunder in SF? Can't recall the last time that happened.
Lazy(musical) web: My musician cousin who recently moved to the North Bay asked where in the Bay he could find good techno music (he's researching something). Where the drops at?
I lost my voice pretty hard on my current trip to NYC, and navigating the city as an English-fluent but mute person has been fascinating. People have been SO KIND. I’ve had to tool up a bit, with handwritten notes that I can’t speak but can hear, want a Cortado/burger/etc., but…
"Everything about Sam Bankman-Fried’s life was perfectly optimized for becoming a famous billionaire and an infamous criminal defendant, in that order." - @matt_levine I'd thought not to read Going Infinite, but now I'm in.
Man, it’s so exciting to see all the driverless cars on the streets of Sf-does anyone have waymo/cruise invites?
Changing of the guard, I guess? Twitter has gotten so much earned brand recognition that it seems dumb to abandon it. I wonder what the rationale behind this change is.
The creatives behind this ad must now be wondering what to do with their newly discovered power.

My thoughts reading this: "ooh. A way to get written up in 'Money Stuff'!" "hum. Jail, tho." "maybe worth it?" Pioneering work in building a newsletter->well documented financial crime flywheel by @matt_levine
Sometimes Twitter is good.
Huh. Weird failure mode-I'm just in the browser, but I guess I'm going too hard?
I have these “handed” R/L socks, and somehow in this load of laundry, I have 5 L socks and no Rs. Now I’m trapped between opposing dad-jokes (“I’ve lost my rights!” Vs. “I’ve two left feet”), like some biblical allegory of asses and straw.
Loved this week's newsletter by @benedictevans - particularly this bit on the unification of ads, marketing, rent, etc into one budget. (BTW, is this literally true-how many companies do have a single budget for all this?). Whether literally true or not,
As soon as @shinjikim described the idea of @selectstarhq, it was obvious that ~all data-driven companies needed something that ate query logs to give visibility into the provenance and use of all that data. It's been a tremendous pleasure getting to know her and the team-Bravo!

I always liked little kids and knew I wanted to be a father, but man, parenting is so much more fun than I expected. Even nearly 8 years in, I often have surprisingly wonderful moments, like this one.

“There’s only one way we’ve seen that consistently increases broad based prosperity and that is capitalism, free markets, and innovation.” -@patrickc LFG. Best believe I started the clapping on that. Long capitalism.
I hate this genre of tweet because it frames lack of European growth as an intentional tradeoff for welfare instead of a recent macro policy failure, thereby excusing it As if having a better subway network is the reason the German economy hasn’t grown in 5 years. Ridiculous
Europeans aren't poor. They are illiquid. Much of Europe's wealth is stored in safe streets, nice parks, public transit, "free" healthcare, etc. which, it turns out, are too socially expensive for Americans to maintain. Americans take the money instead. The rest is only natural.
Firmly believe that this is the only skill that matters in the future — the ability to articulate your business goals in a way that makes ai agents able to pursue them. AGI is both last invention we need make, and the last tool we’ll need to learn how to use.
delegation is actually a deceptively difficult skill. in an agi world, your ability to delegate well to ai agents becomes 1,000x more valuable. people who have already assistants will have a headstart, so getting a VA now is probably a good idea if only to hone the skill.

As self-anointed Valley cynic, allow me to inject a dose of realism. This is of course true. But the reason why is that exponential outcomes are common here, and everyone knows it. Who wants to be the schmuck who *didn't* take the call with the next unicorn founder?
Introduced some young founders to a number of incredibly successful people. Every single one was happy to meet them and give them advice with no expectation of anything in return. Silicon Valley is an amazing place.
The audience for high level literary writing is so small that it's incredibly stupid to fracture it. I truly enjoy reading good writing from writers who don't have my politics. I can't be the only one.
If you think about it, the algorithmic timeline is one of the most tremendous works of art in history. I mean, if you believe the symphony is an epic form, what is the timeline? Sure, lots of noise. But c'mon, human creativity is not at a low point.
