I’ve never understood the confusion behind this record. Jay loved “good kid, m.A.A.d city” and the original “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe.” He was inspired by Kendrick’s work. Recorded a verse, had Guru send the verse over to TDE. And during a studio session for ScHoolboy Q’s “Oxymoron” Kendrick came over and they surprised him with Jay’s verse. Kendrick then recorded two verses of his own and they put the record out as a remix. The end. They weren’t sparring. Kendrick had two verses. Jay had one. Kendrick recorded both of his verses after hearing Jay’s. Jay didn’t have that luxury. Nobody got “bodied.” Just enjoy the fucking music, man. I just want them to collaborate again. It’s long overdue. And now would be a perfect time for it.

Nick, You told people to not vote for Trump, and then you complain nonstop that you have no influence. You used your group to run billboards against Trump during the 2024 election in swing states and you said we would be better off if Kamala were in office. What stories are you breaking? What are you doing to actually help our country as oppose to bitch and cry all day about how censored you are? I was censored too and I kept working hard. You forget that I was banned on more platforms than you, but you can’t ever admit that because it shatters your claims that Jews are never censored. You lie to make a point while you ignore how I too was debanked and censored. You don’t seem to want to work. I work hard everyday breaking stories that expose immigration abuse, and waste, fraud and abuse in the government. I work over 100 hours every week breaking stories of NATIONAL IMPACT. What are you doing? Why would you have access when all you do is attack President Trump? Listen to your own words. I clipped your own clip for you. Just shut the fuck up. You are your own worst enemy and you should start to internalize that. You are resentful and jealous and nobody can take credit for my own tenacity and drive aside from myself. I have worked incredibly hard while you sit on the sideline making EVERY SINGLE ISSUE IN THE WORLD about a foreign country while you call Trump a “scam artist”. I earned my influence with my own hard work. Try working sometime.

In a CNBC interview a few years back, Warren Buffet relayed a story of a time shortly after he and Bill Gates first met. Gate's father asked a group of roughly 20 people to write down on a sheet of paper the one word that they thought accounted for their success. Without seeing what the other wrote, both Buffet and Gates chose the same word: Focus. With this in mind, I wondered: How they would advise someone to choose what they place their focus on? In search of this answer, I ran across an article by author Scott Dinsmore which describes Buffet's 5-step framework for narrowing your focus to what really matters: Your "Avoid At All Costs List." The story is framed as a conversation between Buffet and his pilot (no idea if this is actually what happened) but you'll get the point nonetheless. Here goes: Buffet jokingly said to his pilot: "The fact that you're still working for me, tells me I'm not doing my job. You should be out going after more of your goals and dreams." Warren then asked his pilot to take the following steps: (You should do the same) • List your top 25: Make a list of the Top 25 things you want to do over the next few years or in your lifetime. • Choose your top 5: Review your list and circle the Top 5 items that are most important to you. This is critical––you can only pick 5. • Make a plan: Now that you have your Top 5, it's time to make a plan. How will you start working on these? Who do you need to enlist help from? When can you start? Hint: the answer should be now! • Know your priorities: Now that you've made your Top 5 plan, let's talk about the other 20 items on your list: Buffet asked his pilot, "What is your plan for completing those?" The pilot stated that he word work on those intermittently, as he had time, since they were not part of the Top 5. To the pilot's surprise, Buffet said: "No, you've got it all wrong. Everything you didn't circle just became your 'Avoid At All Costs List.' No matter what, these things get no attention from you until you've succeded with your Top 5." •Be ruthless with your Top 5 list: I think most of us would have probably answered Buffet in a similar manner to his pilot. I mean, those other things are still important, right? Well, according to Buffet (and seemingly Gates as well), the ability to focus on the few things that are the most important to you––what you really want––is the key to outsized results. Letting yourself be distracted by the 20 (less important) things is why you never reach your potential on the 5 that matter the most. For someone like me (with more ideas than time) this exercise was extremely helpful. Take 20 minutes today and write out your own list and see what you come up with. You might be surprised at the results.

🐹: “The recording was scheduled about three months in advance, and my tour was scheduled much earlier than that, So the timing just didn't work out. I was worried our fans would be bored while everyone was in the military, so there I was soothing the hearts of our fans, Meanwhile, all of the songs got made. 👤 “The album is so good, but imagine how much better it would be if it had just a few more writing credits by you” 🐹 “I do think it would have been better. But, the other members did a beautiful job. Plus, if I had been greedy, and pushed the whole session just so I could add my own songs, this interview would be happening months from now. Wouldn't the fans be too bored during that time? 🐹“Sure, I'm a little bummed, but there's more to life than just the present, there's the future. And I believe there will always be more opportunities.” 🐹 “So I'm a little disappointed, but that was the best choice I could make at the time.” WE LOVE YOU JIN ♡ yes Arirang would have been better with your writing, we agree!

Phuwin thanking Pond… They really managed to make me cry. #MeAndTheeSeriesFinalEP 🐼: Speaking from the bottom of my heart, at first… 🐻: Tell it. Can you tell it? I really want to know too. 🐼: You already know, but we’ve never talked about this. Normally, I don’t know if you notice, but there’s usually a kind of psychological pressure at work. When we work as a pair, I think other pairs understand this too, during a series shoot, it’s the period when you and your partner, me and you, like… become the most prone to tension. 🐻: That’s understandable. 🐼: Or to having conflicts more easily. Because it’s a time when we see each other almost every day, all the time, basically 24 hours a day, from six in the morning until ten at night, seven days a week. So before starting to film this series, I’ll be honest: I was scared. 🐻: I was really scared too, honestly. 🐼: I was very afraid that something would go wrong and that we’d end up having conflicts again. Because before that, everything had been going so well. It took a long time for us to reach this level of chemistry and closeness. And I was really happy that, during the filming, that didn’t happen. Or maybe this is just my perspective, but I felt that… thank you, truly thank you, for all the moments when I might have been stubborn or unreasonable at work or in any situation, and yet we were still able to move forward and maintain such a good relationship, from before until now. Thank you so much.

Man, this one's gonna be a tough one. Losing a friend and our adopted Bosnian cuts deep. I met Paul in 2019. when we worked on a broadcast project together, unpacking forgotten war crimes in Sarajevo and Bijeljina. This is for you, Paul! | paullowe We lost more than a photographer when #PaulLowe passed away. We lost a witness to our history, a storyteller who showed the world the truths that many wished to ignore. His lens captured more than the horrors of war; it captured the resilience, the survival, the humanity of #Sarajevo at its darkest moment. Paul wasn’t just any outsider. He became one of us, a Bosnian in spirit, returning to live in Sarajevo with his Bosnian wife he met during war. He chose to make this city, scarred but beautiful, his home. In a way, his life mirrored his photography; an intimate connection to our brokenness, but yet utter fucking resilience. His work during the siege was not just about documenting violence. It was about remembering – reminding us that the shattered buildings and the jagged remains of barricades held stories, stories we should never forget. Paul understood that the “textures of destruction,” as he called them, were not just remnants of the past, but warnings and lessons for the future. He spent six months after the war capturing the ruins, not as mere structures, but as symbols of what had been lost and what we must fight to preserve – our history, our humanity. Through his eyes, even devastation carried a haunting, “terrifying beauty,” a strange aesthetic that was both painful and necessary to see. For those of us who knew him, Paul wasn’t just a great artist. He was a kind soul, a man who cared deeply for the people and the stories he photographed. He was someone who became one with his subject, whose empathy was as powerful as his talent. In losing Paul, we’ve lost a piece of Sarajevo’s heart. But through his images, his legacy lives on, forever reminding us of the importance of remembering. Thank you for your service, you amazing man. Rest in power! 🕊️

RELEASE THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE FILES! "Anyone in HIS position to hold those in leadership accountable"...excuse me? What position does Harry think he has? ⁉️Where was his voice during the Biden Regime, when the borders were purposely open and 400K children went missing? ⁉️Where was his voice when Americans were being murdered by the fentanyl, illegal criminals, and unvetted afghans that Harry & his wife graciously welcomed with US Tax payer money? ‼️WHERE WAS HIS VOICE when Americans were being taken for a ride by HIS friends & family to fund $350 Billion of our money for UKRAINE, while Americans could not make ends meet? Harry the little Napoleon dictator says: "We need to be collectively as a Global community to, we need to feel empowered to be able to speak Truth to power". NO HARRY, We don't want to be part of your socialist marxist community. What do you know about feeling gagged and can't say things? For 4 years under the Biden Regime,Harry and his wife silenced so many by unleashing information WARFARE on innocent unsuspecting people. Prince Harry's military grade censorship operation and psychological warfare on Americans could be seen as an act of war, as this guy is now claiming he is still representing the Royal family aka the CROWN as he goes out to do his work. Harry was never silenced...His bitch wife was never silenced. Harry took full advantage of our First Amendment, but felt that a man in HIS "Position" could take away others right to the first Amendment. UK Prince Harry should be held legally accountable for it. It's you, Harry, who caused the division online. Now that the SPLC has come to light, when is Congress going to question Harry about how he knew about J-6, along with the relationship to Christopher Bouzy, and those Signal messages conveniently deleted with no explanation? Secretary Marco Rubio Department of State British Embassy Washington Senator Eric Schmitt President Donald J. Trump Vice President JD Vance FBI Acting AG Todd Blanche

Roberto Rossellini on the reason he chose George Sanders for "Journey to Italy" (1954) & the advice he gave him during filming: "Interviewer: What relationship do you have with the actors? Rossellini: It’s a question of the individual personality. George Sanders would cry all the way through the film. He moaned terribly and I used to say to him, “What are you getting so depressed about, at the worst you’ll have made one more bad film—nothing worse than that can happen. I don’t see anything to cry about in that, there’s no cause for despair. We’ve all made good films and bad films. So we’ll make another bad one. What can you do? There’s no need to tear your hair out or ki!! yourself over it.” No, to be frank, you have to make them work for you. You can use anything, even an actor’s temper. You see something, in a moment of temper, a certain expression or attitude, that you can use, and so of course you use it. I don’t in the least believe in collective art, I can’t believe in it. I don’t claim to be an artist but I’ve always hoped that my work is artistically acceptable. It’s no good descending to compromises: you have to get somewhere at any cost, at the cost of quarrels, fights, bad moods, insults, and coaxing, anything you think will work. Interviewer: Why did you choose Sanders? Rossellini: Don’t you think he was obvious for the part? It was his bad moods rather than his own personality that suited the character in the film." ("My Method - Writings and Interviews", Roberto Rossellini, Edited by Adriano Aprà, 1987) P.S: Remembering the great British actor, George Sanders, on his 120th birthday!

("My Method - Writings and Interviews", Roberto Rossellini, Edited by Adriano Aprà, 1987) P.S: Remembering the great British actor, George Sanders, on his 120th birthday!

At the BNB Chain hackathon, CZ 🔶 BNB made several very important points about AI trading (Everything in parentheses is my own view and judgment.) He first said that AI will be involved in trading everywhere. Trading itself is already a huge market: there are 300 million users on Binance alone, and if you add the decentralized ecosystems, that number is not small either. In such a mass-market environment, many different trading strategies can work, with countless different coins, different projects, and different ways to play. But there is a big problem here: building commercial AI trading platforms for retail users is actually very hard. If a trading strategy works very well for one person, once a billion people start using the same strategy, that strategy “might still work, or might stop working.” Take copy trading / follow trading as an example: if you buy first and everyone follows you, the first buyer will perform very well, but the last person to follow may not end up with good results. So, with the exact same strategy and the exact same copy logic, the outcomes can be completely different for different people. (On top of that, every strategy also has its own capital capacity limits.) Teams that can really build strong AI are, with high probability, going to trade with their own money. In today’s world, money itself is already somewhat like a “commodity”; many people have a lot of capital, and it’s actually not that hard to raise funds. If you truly have an algorithm that can make a lot of money, it’s not hard to get money and run your own book. There is really only one situation where you would sell this algorithm to mass-market users: for example, if you charge a $10 monthly subscription and can sell it to one million users, then your $10 million monthly subscription revenue is higher than the profit you could make by trading the strategy yourself. (Here this touches one of our earlier theses: as training AI models becomes relatively easier and the supply of models increases, model companies have more incentive to open-source. By analogy, as the production process of trading strategies is increasingly simplified by AI and the supply of strategies explodes, traders will have stronger incentives to monetize by expanding their influence in other words, by “open-sourcing” their strategies.) Of course, CZ did not say that this model can never work. Another path is to build an AI trading platform that lets users tune different AI algorithms, or very easily assemble their own structures and strategies, so that what each person ends up running is different and better tailored to themselves. Some people will make money, some people will lose money, but the platform still has value because it’s very hard for most people to build an AI trading algorithm from scratch. So there are a lot of trade-offs here; it’s not as simple as saying “once AI shows up, everything automatically gets better.” (This is exactly what we presented at the hackathon: you describe your own strategy in natural language, and the AI automatically generates a workflow. The parameters in that workflow, the models used, the logical structure, the APIs it calls, and even the algorithms it invokes are all customizable. The reasons we think workflows are a good way to do this include: controllable execution paths, Lego-like modular nodes, and better visualization that makes it easier for users to build and adjust their workflows.) Finally, his conclusion was very clear: it’s not that AI will definitely make trading better, and it’s not that AI will definitely make things worse. Rather, no matter what, in the future a huge number of people will use AI to trade. This will be a very large field, and whoever can build the best algorithms will make a lot of money.

Kevin Kelly is one of the most influential tech writers of the last half-century. He's published 14 books, founded Wired magazine, and maybe even traveled to more places in Asia than anybody in human history. Here are 28 of his best maxims for writing: 1. Don't aim to be the best. Be the only. 2. Don’t create things to make money; make money so you can create things. 3. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. 4. Always demand a deadline. Doing so weeds out the superfluous and prevents you from insisting on perfection (which will limit you as a writer). 5. To write about something hard to explain, write a detailed letter to a friend about why it is so hard to explain, and then remove the initial “Dear Friend” part and you’ll have a great first draft. 6. The work on any worthy piece of writing is endless and infinite. Since you cannot limit the work, you must limit your hours. 7. Books are never finished, only abandoned. 8. When you are stuck, sleep on it. Give your subconscious an assignment while you sleep. You’ll have an answer in the morning or by the next time you sit down to write. 9. A multitude of bad ideas is necessary for one good idea. 10. The greatest teacher is called “doing.” 11. Efficiency is highly overrated; goofing off is highly underrated. 12. If you have a good idea, write it down. Don't assume you'll remember it. 13. Writing is not selfish; it's for the rest of us. If you don't do your thing and share your writing, you are cheating us. 14. Most articles and stories are improved significantly if you delete the first page of the manuscript. Start with the action. 15. The best way to learn anything is to teach what you know (and you can do it at scale by writing). 16. Productivity is often a distraction. Don't aim for better ways to get through your tasks as quickly as possible. Instead, look for writing projects that you never want to stop doing. 17. Occasionally your first idea is best, but usually it’s the fifth idea. You need to get all the obvious ideas out of the way. Try to surprise yourself. 18. Pay attention to what you pay attention to. 19. To be interesting just tell your own story with uncommon honesty. 20. Ironically, the best time to write a book is once you're done with the speaking tour for the book. 21. Read the books that your favorite authors once read. 22. When you find something you really enjoy, do it slowly. 23. The main reason to write something every day is that you must throw away a lot of good work to reach the great stuff. To let it all go easily you need to be convinced that there is “more where that came from.” You get that in steady production, which comes from a steady writing habit. 24. Habits are far more dependable than inspiration. Make progress by making habits. Don't focus on becoming a better writer. Focus on becoming the kind of person who never misses a writing session. 25. The quality of a piece of writing hinges on its structure. Nail the structure and the ideas will fall into place. You'll know the structure is good when the reader doesn't even notice it. 26. To write something good, just do it. To write something great, just redo it, redo it, redo it. The secret to publishing great writing is to spend a lot of time rewriting. 27. When in doubt, retreat to honesty. Say more of what you really think and feel instead of trying to sound smart. 28. Principles like what you see here are not laws. They're like a hat. If one doesn't fit, try another. Many of these maxims are directly from Kevin Kelly's book: Excellent Advice for Living, while others are from the interview I just published with him about his approach to writing. I've linked to our full conversation in the tweet below.

They said “ceasefire.” They said the worst was over. The genocide has stopped. Tell that to Adam!!! Support now: This young man, only 25 years of age, was doing what the world constantly, unfairly, cruelly, demands of Palestinians - silently carry on, just try to survive. Despite the circumstances, he was doing it with dignity,respect. Sitting in a small stall, selling what he could, providing for his wife and two children. The zionist, criminal, occupation’s drone found its way to Adam. To destroy yet another life. Another family. Another Palestinian. A missile tore through his body and took his legs. Now he lies in a hospital bed, not asking for revenge, not asking for justice, AS HE SHOULD - just asking for prosthetic limbs so he can go back to work. So he can feed his family. So he can stand again. Is this what a “ceasefire” looks like? Is this what the end of suffering looks like? Would any of you accept this for your own? Well, we are asking for justice, we are demanding the world give a damn. This is not over. It was never over. And until it is, and until Palestine is liberated, and until Palestine is free, The Sameer Project will be here to serve and support our people. And we are grateful for our community who joins us. Help us return to Adam and other injured, maimed, during the ongoing genocide.

Bruce Greenwald invited Li Lu to speak to his class on value investing. The result is a 90 minute masterclass on how to be a value investor. If you haven't watched the video, do it now. If you have, it's worth re-watching. Here is a list of my favorite quotes from Li Lu 👇 PERSONALITY OF A VALUE INVESTOR • "Understand who you are as an investor, because you will be tested. You will have to ask yourself if you truly are a value investor." • "Value investing goes against our evolution of following the crowds to survive." • "You will spend most of your time as an investigative journalist. To have insatiable curiosity." • "You almost have to be curious about everything. Because you never know where you'll get that one major insight." INVESTOR CRITERIA • Is it cheap? • Is it a good business? • Why is this opportunity available to me? "Once you answer those questions, you really have to go for it." INVESTMENT CASE STUDY 1: TIMBERLAND • "The first thing I check in a company is it's valuation." • "If you're an investor you don't care where it traded before." • "What matters isn't the price-to-book ratio itself, but what's in the book value." • "You want to compare the capital invested in the business to how much pre-tax cash flow the business generates using that capital." • "So Timberland generated $100M on $200M in capital invested. So why does the opportunity exist?" - Nike, Reebok, all the shoe brands fell off a cliff during the Asian Financial Crisis. - Founder owns 40% of the stock - Company was profitable and didn't need financial markets (no sell-side) - Tons of shareholder lawsuits • "What would be your conclusion if you were a normal mutual fund hearing this information? That management is milking the company for their own gain." What does Li Lu do next? • "I download every file of the shareholder court cases. That's the investigative journalist part." • "The result was that the founder withdrew guidance and shareholders didn't like it. That was it." How do you determine if management are decent people? • "You've got to be an investigative journalist and find the trail of evidence. Go to their community. Introduce yourself to their friends/family/neighbors." Total Time Commitment: "A couple of weeks of diligent/obsessive work" • "Investing is intensive work for short bursts of time." HOW MUCH TO BUY? • "If you go join a fund, they'll tell you not to risk anything more than 25-50bps." • "Think about how much effort you put in to this work. You have no downside and its trading at 5x profits." • "So, I put a shitload of money into Timberland. Over the next 10 years it went up 7x. It was never more than 15x earnings." • "If you're not a good analyst, you'll NEVER be a good investor." • "When it goes up, you don't have to do a damn thing. You just sit on it and ride with it." INVESTMENT CASE STUDY 2: KOREAN COMPANY • "Don't think about per-share numbers. Think of yourself as an owner." • "$236M in book value, $60M market cap, $25M net earnings." How do you know it's cheap? • "You must confirm that the earnings are there, and that the book value is real, liquid, and tangible." • "They're trading at the cash value in the bank with no debt. They have hotels and department stores that they own outright. They're making $30M+ in pre-tax earnings. And insiders own 50%." The result: Went up 5-6x VALUE INVESTING IS NOT NATURAL • "There's a lot of money in value investing. But it's still unnatural to most people." • "One thing you have to do, is you have to do the work. You have to do the reps. You can make a ton of money if you really do this stuff." • "I benefited by listening AND THEN DOING my own work. Making my own investments and mistakes." WHAT MAKES A GREAT ANALYST • "You must provide accurate and complete information. If you can't succeed on that, you can't succeed in this business." • "If you're not confident about your prediction and what you know, you can't put any money when the stock's in free fall." WHAT PROVIDES THE BIGGEST RETURNS • "Your biggest returns will come from no more than ten tremendous insights. That's it." • "The only way to build those insights is intense curiosity, intense study." INVESTING MISTAKES • "The biggest mistakes come when you buy before you've done all the work." • "My biggest mistakes aren't buying and losing money. It's not buying and missing out on 50-60x returns." HOW MANY COMPANIES SHOULD YOU BUY • "I don't have any set rules on how many stocks or companies I buy. Opportunities are sporadic and it depends on the environment." • "I usually have 3-4 big ideas. If the market is exciting, I have more opportunities. Or if the market is boring, I have fewer." HOW LI LU ALLOCATES TIME • "Most of the time I spend reading and studying about everything. Learning new companies and industries." • "If I find an idea that captivates me. I stop everything and obsess over that idea." • "Besides that, I spend a lot of time with my kid and my wife." TL;DR: • Be an investigative journalist. • Work obsessively in short bursts and spend the rest. of your time learning. • When you've done the work and have conviction, buy a shitload to make it worth it. • Before you invest $1, make sure you can answer the three big questions: Is it cheap, is the management team good, and why does the opportunity exist. • Never stop learning. • Become a curiosity machine.

Bitch, I do not play about eighth grade star aka opinions based girl….. yeah everybody’s laughing now, but it literally does not take away the fact that you are so fucking ugly like I had his ass blocked on my old account before I even saw this because every time he pops up on my for you page I just have to scroll because he’s so fucking ugly that it pisses me off he looks like he could be casted on Netflix and not in a good way. He seriously needs to find a new haircut because what the fuck is that middle part? and of course he’s a Nepo baby, and the best part is I just found out that he used to be fat, I bet he’s an anorexic asf lowkey all shade and that’s the only way his pathetic ass could lose weight and I know he didn’t use laxatives cause he’s definitely a bottom, the type that one bitch from White Lotus would say as a fem and NOT a butch. You can tell he wants to be Matthew from big mouth but he’s more of a Charlie from heartstopper, you can also tell that he’s never got his ass beat, well maybe once in middle school and then his white ass republican parents freaked the fuck out and got the kid suspended or some shit. Of course he’s obsessed with Diet Coke, he’s so obviously wants to be a white woman that it is embarrassing. Middle schoolers definitely go up to him and be like “oh my God you’re famous on TikTok” and he thinks he’s the shit but the rest of the population don’t give a fuck and the way his mom is a teacher…… I know that she probably yells at the fucking class for everything but really she’s just taking it out on these kids because she knows deep down that she wishes her son was like them instead of a fucking loser who makes strawberry bagels on TikTok not to mention everybody praised him for doing angel tree, bitch that’s nothing he probably just used some of his allowance money to look like a good person so y’all bitches would suck his dick. Omg in all of his fucking videos he tries to sound cute with that feminine ass voice and it gives me a secondhand embarrassment down. he thinks he’s Troye Sivan, but he will never admit that he probably listens to fucking country music and Taylor Swift so he can fit in with all of his Christian girl friends and that’s it. You can tell he peaked in high school. He was definitely the “token gay” and the homophobic straight boys loved him because he was “funny“ but it was all surface level, TikTok humor that seems funny to them. of course he reposted something about drinking on antidepressants. Just because you had a white claw and some lexapro(which explains why he used to be fat as fuck) doesn’t make you whatever a fucking vibe you’re trying to go for. He looks like he jerks off to the Lululemon maternity catalog while pretending he’s Harry Styles. I saw on TikTok that he has a girlfriend and I can’t tell if it’s just for attention or if he’s actually still dl so that his parents don’t freak the fuck out on him and he has to get a real job. This one girl posted him on TikTok, shaking his hips and drinking wine…… like who do you think you fucking are bro? like genuinely who the fuck do you think you are?🔑 he also reposted a TikTok about Lorde “looking a mess” I really don’t give a fuck if it was a joke. You have no place to be talking about somebody’s looks when he looks like that……. and y’all know what I mean, the type of guy who fucks all the dl in the room because he has zero confidence. The type of guy who has all the latest Apple products for no reason. I mean seriously he looks like he eats fucking rocks. Apparently he caused a lot of drama on TikTok (of course) and blamed his OCD like what kind of dumb ass excuse is that but then again he probably asked his mom what to say and then she sent him a script and he went with it. Somebody keeps on copying his videos and it’s pissing him off. I think it’s so hilarious…… you realize you’re just another copy and paste of every other wanna be “ influencer”.

Bitch, I do not play about eighth grade star aka opinions based girl….. yeah everybody’s laughing now, but it literally does not take away the fact that you are so fucking ugly like I had his ass blocked on my old account before I even saw this because every time he pops up on my for you page I just have to scroll because he’s so fucking ugly that it pisses me off he looks like he could be casted on Netflix and not in a good way. He seriously needs to find a new haircut because what the fuck is that middle part? and of course he’s a Nepo baby, and the best part is I just found out that he used to be fat, I bet he’s an anorexic asf lowkey all shade and that’s the only way his pathetic ass could lose weight and I know he didn’t use laxatives cause he’s definitely a bottom, the type that one bitch from White Lotus would say as a fem and NOT a butch. You can tell he wants to be Matthew from big mouth but he’s more of a Charlie from heartstopper, you can also tell that he’s never got his ass beat, well maybe once in middle school and then his white ass republican parents freaked the fuck out and got the kid suspended or some shit. Of course he’s obsessed with Diet Coke, he’s so obviously wants to be a white woman that it is embarrassing. Middle schoolers definitely go up to him and be like “oh my God you’re famous on TikTok” and he thinks he’s the shit but the rest of the population don’t give a fuck and the way his mom is a teacher…… I know that she probably yells at the fucking class for everything but really she’s just taking it out on these kids because she knows deep down that she wishes her son was like them instead of a fucking loser who makes strawberry bagels on TikTok not to mention everybody praised him for doing angel tree, bitch that’s nothing he probably just used some of his allowance money to look like a good person so y’all bitches would suck his dick. Omg in all of his fucking videos he tries to sound cute with that feminine ass voice and it gives me a secondhand embarrassment down. he thinks he’s Troye Sivan, but he will never admit that he probably listens to fucking country music and Taylor Swift so he can fit in with all of his Christian girl friends and that’s it. You can tell he peaked in high school. He was definitely the “token gay” and the homophobic straight boys loved him because he was “funny“ but it was all surface level, TikTok humor that seems funny to them. of course he reposted something about drinking on antidepressants. Just because you had a white claw and some lexapro(which explains why he used to be fat as fuck) doesn’t make you whatever a fucking vibe you’re trying to go for. He looks like he jerks off to the Lululemon maternity catalog while pretending he’s Harry Styles. I saw on TikTok that he has a girlfriend and I can’t tell if it’s just for attention or if he’s actually still dl so that his parents don’t freak the fuck out on him and he has to get a real job. This one girl posted him on TikTok, shaking his hips and drinking wine…… like who do you think you fucking are bro? like genuinely who the fuck do you think you are?🔑 he also reposted a TikTok about Lorde “looking a mess” I really don’t give a fuck if it was a joke. You have no place to be talking about somebody’s looks when he looks like that……. and y’all know what I mean, the type of guy who fucks all the dl in the room because he has zero confidence. The type of guy who has all the latest Apple products for no reason. I mean seriously he looks like he eats fucking rocks. Apparently he caused a lot of drama on TikTok (of course) and blamed his OCD like what kind of dumb ass excuse is that but then again he probably asked his mom what to say and then she sent him a script and he went with it. Somebody keeps on copying his videos and it’s pissing him off. I think it’s so hilarious…… you realize you’re just another copy and paste of every other wanna be “ influencer”. Don’t ever try coming for eighth grade start again.🔑🔑

Clement Ang achieved 150%+ returns this year in the USIC. One of my favorite follows, Clement is inpsired by the likes of Minvervini, Gil Morales, Jeff Sun, Oliver Kell, Qullamaggie, and others. Here are 6 great takeaways from his recent Traderlion Interview: 1. Never Giving Up After a mix of shorting along with overtrading, revenge trading, and trading on tilt, Clement found himself in a 60-70% drawdown. He distinctly remembers sitting at his condo pool, having no idea how he would recover. Contemplating if he should give up, and if trading was for him for not. He took a 1-2 month break and rebounded by studying how stocks move, building his own modelbook, studying top traders, and coming up with rules for himself. 2. Loss Analysis and Stopping Drawdowns At a dinner with USIC top performer Christian Flanders, Clement was recommended to 1) cut size when losing until you find traction again, and 2) do monthly loss adjustment exercises. "Hypothetically, if you change all those negative months to just -5%, what would your eventual return be?" Doing this, Clement saw the importance of minimizing drawdown. This was a turning point for Clement. He decided to join the USIC again for 2025, and his returns relfected the drawdown control this time around. 3. Calculating Agregate Profit and Loss for Trades He Shouldn't Have Taken Clement took a total of 1,294 trades in 2025. Out of the 1,294, he found he was able to back out of about 500 trades that were not proper trades. When calculating the aggregate PnL for those trades, trades taken for reasons such as there was no setup but he felt FOMO, or an overtrading problem, he found it was a huge chunk. By removing for those 500 trades, he saw it boosted his profitability. Clement suggests to calculate what your returns would be if you removed for those trades. This is to bring into your consciousness not to make those same mistakes again. 4. Weekly and Monthly Reviews Leaving his corporate job and becoming a full time trader in 2025, it imposed more pressure on him to perform. The pressure spurred him to take his reviews very seriously. With every trade he logs, he reviews them on a weekly basis. On each trade, you want to be tagging. “Which trades are mistakes, and what exactly is the mistake. Which trades did you execute well, and why - was it a perfect steup, what was the market like at the time.” At the end of the month, do a monthly write up. Doing so, you can really take a look back and see how you performed against your opportunity set. 5. Study Great Traders and Market History Clement noticed the top traders say the same thing but in a different manner. Clement found traders he wanted to study. Gil Morales, Mark Minvervini, etc. Picked up on not just their methodologies, but also psychologically what they are thinking. Found commonalities, and implemented them into his own system. And with AI, Clement found it is easy to go back and read about market history. “History does not repeat, but it always rhymes. There are a lot of resources online, great X accounts that do fantastic hisoritcal charts. Go there, take it and study it. Run the history of the stock and why it went up, through an AI model, and build examples. This is a form of a modelbook as well." Study model book stocks and their historical precedence. 6. You Can Make Mistakes and Still Outperform Despite missing big winners in 2025, $BE $IREN $MP, he only needed a couple of good winners to put on a good year. He advises traders to think longer term. "You have 252 trading days in the year to string together a good return. So don't be in a rush, expecially if you are not finding any traction, or trading poorly." - Clement Ang If you are not already following him, highly recommend doing so. Witnessed him call out early and navigate the recent metals trade beautifully. Has great information and a great attitude towards the markets. And take time to listen to his interview in depth. It's a great listen.

This guy sells AI employees to small businesses. He's a non-technical designer with no audience, spends $0 on ads, has no tech background. Yet he's still done 21 agent setups in 6 months, almost all from referrals. His model: install one AI agent as a digital employee, then get paid monthly to manage it and coach the owner. Setup fee plus a per-agent monthly rate. Phil came on the Build With AI pod to walk us through the whole playbook. Here's what I learned: 1. The product is the coaching, not the agent. Owners treat AI like Google. You get paid to manage it so they never have to. 2. Raise your price every yes. $500 setups became $1,000. Now he's targeting $2,000 setups plus $1,000/month per agent. 3. Give the agent a value ledger. It logs every task and sends a weekly ROI report. One client's first week: 63 hours saved, $6,300 in value. 4. Put yourself in the group chat. Telegram group with Phil, the client, and the agent. The client learns by watching him talk to it. 5. The agents handle real multi-step work. One prompt: find the invoice email, extract the PDF into Excel, save to Dropbox, send the link. Done in 10 minutes. 6. Uptime is a selling point. The best prospects tried agents themselves and quit when they broke. Phil fixes it before the client notices. 7. Free work is the referral engine. Friends in his small Georgia town told friends in Atlanta and Dallas. Now he has clients nationwide. 8. The pitch is one text. "I'm testing a managed agent service. Want to be a guinea pig? I'll charge you less." First client: $250/month. 9. Make the agent write to Excel, not its own markdown. A shared source of truth is the difference between a demo and a system. 10. Phil builds his agents on Orgo. $29/month gets your agent a computer with pre-built templates. Phil's agent handles the Orgo admin itself. His 2 key takeaways: 1. You only need to be one step ahead. If you've built an agent for yourself, you know more than the owner who never has. Charge from day one. 2. Visible ROI is the retention strategy. A weekly "you saved $6,300" report re-sells the retainer every single week. Phil is doing this at a level most technical people are not, and we had a blast going deep on it. Go follow Phil Full video below. (Also available on the Build With AI podcast wherever you get your pods)

Pang Zhongwang (庞众望): Chinese scientist rising from a family of severe disability and poverty to the frontlines of China's scientific breakthroughs rendering null and void western sanctions. In China, Tsinghua University is the country’s equivalent of MIT. It is where the most scientifically gifted students from across the nation converge, where competition is brutal and expectations are extremely high. Pang Zhongwang belongs to that world now. He is a doctoral researcher in precision instrumentation, working on technologies China still struggles to import. He publishes papers in the world's top scientific journals. He holds patents. He works at the sharp edge of China's scientific self-reliance. But Pang did not come from a background of privilege. He came from the poorest family of the poorest village that barely survived. Pang was born in rural Wuqiang County, Hebei Province, into a family that seemed, from the start, condemned by fate. His mother suffered from congenital spina bifida. She had no legs and spent her life in a wheelchair. She had never attended school, never learned to read in the formal sense. His father suffered from severe schizophrenia, unable to communicate normally with others, often isolated in his own mental world. The family survived on subsistence farming, relying largely on elderly grandparents. A modest government stipend kept them from starvation. Then, when Pang was just six years old, doctors diagnosed him with congenital heart disease. By any ordinary measure, this was a family being pushed toward collapse. Yet something unusual was happening inside that small, poor home. Pang’s mother never complained. She was serene, cheerful and quietly determined her son should receive the best education. Pang speaks of his family without embarrassment or bitterness. He says his mother was extraordinary, and that there was nothing about his family he was ever ashamed of. “Which part of my family,” he asked during his now famous interview, “is not worthy of being spoken about? My mother is such a good person. My grandparents too are so good. Surrounded with so much goodness, I should be envied rather than pitied” Though Pang's mother had never gone to school, she refused to surrender to ignorance. She watched her nephew recite classical Chinese poems and asked him to teach them to her. She memorized the verses herself, then recited them to Pang while holding him as a toddler. Poems entered his world before textbooks ever did. Between moments of pain, she did handicraft embroidery work, earning money one piece at a time. When Pang was diagnosed with heart disease at the age of six, his mother did what she had always done: she acted instead of indulging in lamentation. Sitting in her wheelchair, she had Pang push her from door to door, asking villagers for help. People knew the money might never be repaid. They gave it anyway. Nearly 40,000 yuan (about $6000) was raised — a staggering sum for a rural village. Pang never forgot this. In a way, his achievements belong to every villager who helped his family survive. Pang learned responsibility early. By the age of five, he was standing on stools to cook. He followed elderly relatives to collect scrap materials for money. At twelve, he left home to attend a middle school in a neighboring town. His weekly living expense was about 20 yuan ($3) Every weekend he returned home to wash clothes, cook meals, and care for his mother. Academically, however, he moved with astonishing speed. By high school, Pang was not merely a top student — he won national awards in mathematics, physics, and biology competitions, a combination rare enough to shock educators across Hebei Province.

New episode on The Creative Genius of Rick Rubin This episode contains a nonstop stream of ideas directly from Rick about how to make great work over a long period of time: (01:00) Just one habit, at the top of any field, can be enough to give an edge over the competition. Wooden considered every aspect of the game where an issue might arise, and trained his players for each one. Repeatedly. Until they became habits. The goal was immaculate performance. Wooden often said the only person you’re ever competing against is yourself. The rest is out of your control. This way of thinking applies to the creative life just as well. For both the artist and the athlete, the details matter, whether the players recognize their importance or not. Good habits create good art. The way we do anything is the way we do everything. Treat each choice you make, each action you take, each word you speak with skillful care. The goal is to live your life in the service of art. (08:41) Faith allows you to trust the direction without needing to understand it. (10:16) If you make the choice of reading classic literature every day for a year, rather than reading the news, by the end of that time period you’ll have a more honed sensitivity for recognizing greatness from the books than from the media. This applies to every choice we make. Not just with art, but with the friends we choose, the conversations we have, even the thoughts we reflect on. All of these aspects affect our ability to distinguish good from very good, very good from great. They help us determine what’s worthy of our time and attention. Because there’s an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in. The objective is not to learn to mimic greatness, but to calibrate our internal meter for greatness. So we can better make the thousands of choices that might ultimately lead to our own great work. (14:25) We’re affected by our surroundings, and finding the best environment to create a clear channel is personal and to be tested. (27:57) Rules direct us to average behaviors. If we’re aiming to create works that are exceptional, most rules don’t apply. Average is nothing to aspire to. The goal is not to fit in. Communicate your singular perspective. (28:30) It’s a healthy practice to approach our work with as few accepted rules, starting points, and limitations as possible. Often the standards in our chosen medium are so ubiquitous, we take them for granted. They are invisible and unquestioned. (29:00) The world isn’t waiting for more of the same. The most innovative ideas come from those who master the rules to such a degree that they can see past them or from those who never learned them at all. (38:50) Fear of criticism. Attachment to a commercial result. Competing with past work. Time and resource constraints. The aspiration of wanting to change the world. And any story beyond “I want to make the best thing I can make, whatever it is” are all undermining forces in the quest for greatness. (42:32) To hone your craft is to honor creation. By practicing to improve, you are fulfilling your ultimate purpose on this planet. A lot more ideas in this episode including: The importance of developing a practice of paying attention, why impatience is an argument with reality, why you need to create space in your schedule to tap into ideas in from your subconscious, why you'll find what you're searching for by looking deeper, the reason it is important to carefully curate the quality of what we allow in: people, ideas, content, why rereading the same books again and again can help you find new ideas, how to find the environment that allows you to produce your best work —and how other artists have done so, several examples of the people that are the best in the world at what they do being full of self-doubt —and yet they do it anyways, why adversity is unavoidable, if you want to make great work for a long time you can’t self-sabotage, why the goal is to keep playing (Rubin has been playing for 40+ years), how you can overcome insecurities by naming them, how you can doubt your way to excellence, why distraction is not procrastination and why distraction can be a strategy in service of the work, why if you're aiming to create works that are exceptional most rules don’t apply, the importance of communicating your singular perspective, and why if there is one rule on creativity that’s unbreakable it’s that the need for patience is ever-present.

Often the standards in our chosen medium are so ubiquitous, we take them for granted. They are invisible and unquestioned. (29:00) The world isn’t waiting for more of the same. The most innovative ideas come from those who master the rules to such a degree that they can see past them or from those who never learned them at all. (38:50) Fear of criticism. Attachment to a commercial result. Competing with past work. Time and resource constraints. The aspiration of wanting to change the world. And any story beyond “I want to make the best thing I can make, whatever it is” are all undermining forces in the quest for greatness. (42:32) To hone your craft is to honor creation. By practicing to improve, you are fulfilling your ultimate purpose on this planet. A lot more ideas in this episode including: The importance of developing a practice of paying attention, why impatience is an argument with reality, why you need to create space in your schedule to tap into ideas in from your subconscious, why you'll find what you're searching for by looking deeper, the reason it is important to carefully curate the quality of what we allow in: people, ideas, content, why rereading the same books again and again can help you find new ideas, how to find the environment that allows you to produce your best work —and how other artists have done so, several examples of the people that are the best in the world at what they do being full of self-doubt —and yet they do it anyways, why adversity is unavoidable, if you want to make great work for a long time you can’t self-sabotage, why the goal is to keep playing (Rubin has been playing for 40+ years), how you can overcome insecurities by naming them, how you can doubt your way to excellence, why distraction is not procrastination and why distraction can be a strategy in service of the work, why if you're aiming to create works that are exceptional most rules don’t apply, the importance of communicating your singular perspective, and why if there is one rule on creativity that’s unbreakable it’s that the need for patience is ever-present.
