a 4yo feeling nostalgic for being 2yo might seem silly and quaint to an adult, but it’s arguably more substantial than what a 40yo might feel about being 20
in my past life I did a ton of reading about marketing for work. a colleague-friend and I did an elaborate infographic summarizing everything we learned, and I think it holds up pretty good. intense amounts of effort to really condense everything – books and books of info

are we any closer to this happening yet
The internet economy needs an investment bank. Prove your cash flows (via Stripe, Shopify, Patreon, etc. APIs) then sell debt or equity to anyone. Tokenize the instrument, so its liquid/borderless. Automate repayment/dividends. Would enfranchise many people.

2yo: daddy remember when I was young? I was young. I used to play this game when I was younger. see this game? I love it.
Let’s go let’s go let’s go!!
somehow i had never seen this despite being extremely online all these years: the temporary NYPD HQ set up in Burger King at 106 Liberty Street, during 9/11
I really had a lot of fun talking with new and budding creators at Reconstellation last year and I’m looking forward to doing it again with the next batch
Check it out here:
20 selected quotes from @visakanv's Established Creator talk at Reconstellation
It was the accessibility and ease of actually getting to interact with Visa that people really seemed to appreciate from this talk. (In addition to what he said)
People in this program look up to our featured creators, so getting on a call with them to hear them speak casually about their process and experience, while also doing Q&A, is exciting in a particularly real way.
(Plus many of the Creators, including Visa, are down to give specific feedback about people's projects)
Apply by Sept 18!

i wonder how often people in the 2020s use the opportunity afforded by a crisis- a messy divorce, a big career embarrassment- to start a totally new life somewhere else. by definition we wouldn't hear from them. we hear instead from people who crash out, and overindex on those

this means i've spent over a year of my life tweeting... very fruitful year tbh
i can't believe it, i literally can't believe it. i'm running the numbers over & over, typing it into the calculator different wats, even asking Claude to check my math. i absolutely cannot believe that doing something 2 hours a day equals one month per year. how is that possible

ime, the way to do this isn’t to try to do this (often feels forced and leaden), but rather to try to describe things as well as possible. the most effective coinages tend to be improvised bridges and tunnels put together to serve a particular train of thought

writers that can coin words or phrases that bleed into your vocabulary and thinking are extremely skilled
twitter/X is a game, not a battleground, and you can use it to your advantage (this tweet was a major unlock for me)
Marriage Story (2019) might seem like it’s about the tragedy of a failing marriage and the indignities of divorce but really it’s about how people from NYC and LA shouldn’t get together
The Witcher might seem like it’s about fantasy and magic and swordfighting but really it’s about the struggles of being a freelancer
quoted tweet aged beautifully
a *fascinating* thing that americans do – and I don't think I've seen europeans do this – is they come up with these elaborate fanfics abt their public figures, mashing them up with cinema, honoring them in comics&TV. "X welcomes Y to heaven", "X is literally Captain America" etc
