why abstract? when i first created the god ip,... it wasn’t meant to be tokenized but something to help me as a parent in teaching my kids the importance of resilience and self confidence. but seeing the strength of the community, the vision of being web2/consumer friendly and the pedigree of Luca Netz 🐧✳️ and the Pudgy Penguins ip backing it - tokenizing it made sense to reach more people and build something special. nothing has changed for me. The foundations for the ip have been laid. The goal is to be the shining success on Abstract that makes people want to launch new ips or tokenize existing web2 ips on the green chain. the mission continues. nevr giv up.show more

Some people have reached out to me and asked... me if $Grind is still going to launch on Abstract …. They want me to launch on SOL instead. I guess because it’s been 3 days and things aren’t perfect? I did not choose to launch the coin on abstract because of the hype. I chose it because of the team. I believe it will be the chain that does the best job of attracting consumers outside of our bubble. So yes, this annoying hamster is still coming to abstract .show more

Getting a follow from Pudgy Penguins definitely made my... day 🐧🙈 Painting these cute penguins has always felt like a therapy for me. I probably will be painting penguins forever and making the huddle happy. And stay tuned for the reveal of this honorary for the legend in the game Luca Netz 🐧✳️ 🖼️show more

Today, let’s talk about the possibilities of We’re living... in a generation where IP is exploding. Web2 and Web3 are all about IP and everything is tied to digital identity. Be it a PFP or a brand, it carries personality and value. So let’s use NFTs as an example. NFTs are built around IPs. Characters that build the community and the world of a project. (I’ve been in the NFT space for 3-4 years. So yes, I’ve seen the cycle.) Some questions : - Beyond the image, how do we bring utility to every character? - What stories do they hold? - What personalities do they have? - Can each one have a digital identity beyond just being a PFP? - And most importantly : how can it talk to millions of people without the owner replying to every message? That’s just difficult to scale. Exactly the reason why we are building To bring IPs to life. Every character deserves a story. Deserves to connect emotionally anytime, with anyone.

We are gaming studio in love with web3 and the blockchain technology bringing the best actors of both worlds to work together to create a series of absolute gaming hits. We have people from Epic games, Activision, Pixar and Disney currently working on this and are now raising 10 millions to bring it to the next level. We don't just want The Mories to be one of the next big IPs. We want to become the next Ubisoft and have The Mories be the main IP of it. You can fade. Or not. It doesn't matter. We will make it.show more

When we started Igloo APAC, we had one goal.... Capture every Pudgy Penguins moment in a way that does it justice. That’s why RIC | Little Unusual MY was one of our first hires. What he built with Little Unusual Malaysia said everything. Every aftermovie he made was something we were genuinely proud of. And no video comes alive without the right people in it. SYMPHONY 紫匀 and AloeVera brought so much heart to every frame. But I want to take a moment for the people who worked behind the scenes. Suenwins, now at YGG, one of the most dedicated people I have ever worked with. A true wonder woman. @magicross7, a genuine pillar of the Asian penguin community. The energy he brings is unmatched. Ian Lim 🐧, brand new to the team but gave more than anyone could have asked for. Shawn Benedict 🐧✳️, the most underrated one of all. The guy who showed up, did the hard work on the ground, and never once asked for the credit. The muscles behind every event. Most of them have moved on now. And honestly, that makes me proud. 🤍 These people didn’t just do their jobs. They cared. They showed up. They helped build something real from nothing. Paths change. Teams evolve. But the work we did together, and the people who made it happen, will always mean something to me. 🙏 They deserve every public shoutout. Not just one person alone. 👇🏻 full aftermovie at the commentshow more

The past year has seen me have a renaissance,... in the truest sense… I won’t go into details now but will at some point before long. What has brought so much happiness to my life and those around me this past year has been my falling back in love with sport. Cycling has, and always will be, my number one. Yet I’d forgotten that I simply love sport, not for results but for the sheer joy of doing it, I’d completely forgotten that the health of my mind is intrinsically connected to the health of my body. I’ve rediscovered the love I had for sport that existed before the world of professional cycling took over in the way it did. I’ve been pushing myself and trying new things this past year, indifferent to the results, just out having fun and at times going deeper than I thought I was capable of anymore. Last week I got on a TT bike for the first time in a decade, Factor Bikes built me a bike, I’ve been looking at it for two years and decided it was time to get fitted, getting back on it felt like going home. Anyway, the long and the short of this is that it’s inspired me to create a club to inspire and be inspired. A community for us to share our love for getting out there and doing it, because I’ve realized that although I spend most of my sporting life on my own I derive the most pleasure when feeling part of something. It’s in its early days, I’ve called it Sporting Club CHPT3 aka SCC3, I’d love you to check it out and join. It’s still in its infancy, but I hope it’s going to grow into something that will inspire you as much as me.show more

🚨 Lamine Yamal statement. “𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐦, 𝐚𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡. Yesterday... in the stadium, the chant “the one who doesn’t boo is Muslim” was heard. I know it was aimed at the rival team and it wasn’t something against me — but as a Muslim, it doesn’t stop being a lack of respect and something intolerable”. “I understand that not all the fans are like that… but to those who sing these things: using a religion as a joke in a stadium makes you look like ignorant and racist people”. “Football is for enjoying it and cheering, not for disrespecting people for who they are or what they believe in”. “That said, thanks to the people who came to cheer us on, see you at the World Cup”.show more

every time art and technology collide, it gets uncomfortable.... photography, cgi, nfts. now it’s ai. inevitably, the people who lean in early, long before it’s fully accepted, are the ones who end up shaping what comes next. doodles was born out of this exact contention. we aim to do it again. when we decided to build Doodles AI, we built it as a first-party tool. trained exclusively on ip we own, on a visual language i’ve spent my entire career formulating. the goal was speed, but even more so, relevance. the ability to participate in culture in real time. because that’s what true internet-native brands should all be striving for. we’ve been running it internally for a while now, and the impact is tangible: more viral posts, more growth, more attention. but it was too powerful, too satisfying, and too fun to not share it widely. a strong ip doesn’t weaken when you open it up. it gets rediscovered from angles you couldn’t have planned for, by people you never would’ve reached. creativity has always had gatekeepers. skill. time. access. often, it’s a game of privilege. plenty of people have taste and vision but just don’t have the tools to match it. i’m proud to contribute my life’s work to this new era of co-authorship, with a singular style as the galvanizer. the best way to predict the future is to invent today.show more

Just got back from the match, and it still... hasn't quite sunk in. Last year was about overcoming the heartbreak and near misses for the first time. This year felt different. There was a calm confidence around this team, a feeling that they had learned from the setbacks and were ready for this moment. Being in the stadium to watch RCB lift their second IPL trophy was genuinely special. Not just because of the result, but because of the journey it took to get here. You could feel what it meant to the players and the fans who have stayed invested through all the highs and lows. Seeing that shared sense of joy at the final whistle is something I'll remember for a long time. A title built on resilience, belief, and delivering when it mattered most. Very glad I got to witness it in person. 🏆❤️ #RCB #IPLshow more

We just released a new marketing site and I... wanted to talk through some of the changes that we made and why. Design thinking is the other side of the feed, it's usually more nuanced than the flashier parts and typically doesn't hold up as well to a quick scroll. Doesn't bode well for this thread! But, this will be my attempt to talk through the changes made and why. First up, this is our new hero. At Loops.so, our goal right now is to be the only platform you need to email your users The H1 matches that intention and the subheader reinforces it. We also wanted it to be clear we ship fast and often, so we added a pill showing the latest featured changelog. Agents are part of how people build software today, so we wanted to give that the second most important placement on the page, right after signup. Finally, the logo strip should not distract too much, but it should still help people understand these are users, not just logos. So we added the date of first payment from Stripe next to each logo. Next up, more things!show more

When I first joined Rayadas I didnt know what... it will mean for me as a player! I knew it would be a place I could compete for titles, but I never knew how the passion for this institution would change me as a player. Over the years I learned what it meant to put on this jersey! The people in this city and my team taught me. I feel exactly what the people feel! The love and passion is indescribable, and when you step onto that field you feel it. The people in the stadium make you feel it, and it’s honestly one of the best feelings in this world! That’s why we fight until the very end, because we have a responsibility to represent everything this institution stands for!🙏🏾 #creersiemprecreershow more

NEW: Senior official at the U.S. State Department Josh... Paul has resigned over Biden's failure in the Middle East. In his resignation letter, Paul strongly condemned Hamas before blasting the Biden Administration for failing to put American interests first. “Let me be clear: Hamas' attack on Israel was not just a monstrosity; it was a monstrosity of monstrosities.” “But I believe to the core of my soul that the response Israel is taking, and with it the American support both for that response... will only lead to more and deeper suffering for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people - and is not in the long term American interest.” “This Administration’s response and much of Congress’ as well - is an impulsive reaction built on confirmation bias, political convenience, intellectual bankruptcy and bureaucratic inertia.” “Blind support for one side is destructive in the long term to the interests of the people on both sides. I fear we are repeating the same mistakes we have made these past decades, and I decline to be a part of it for longer.” Wow.show more

Pudgy Penguins on the Sphere is a W for... the entire space. Sphere brings hundreds of thousands of eyes within Las Vegas, now imagine how many people can see Pudgy Penguins for the first time.
