Most PMs tried Claude Code for a day, didn't get instant magic, and quietly decided it wasn't for them. The PMs pulling ahead are 1500 hours in and still rebuilding their setup every single day. That's the entire gap. Not talent. Not technical background. Just whether you stayed past the awkward week where nothing works yet. Hannah runs product at Anthropic and has the highest documented Claude Code mileage of any PM I've talked to. Her advice for someone with two hours this weekend isn't "build a workflow." It's "find one task to automate so you free up six hours next week to learn." That reframe is the whole game. Most people treat AI learning as something they'll get to after the real work is done. Hannah treats freeing up time to learn AS the real work. Two hours in, six hours out. Next week you reinvest those six into deeper automations that free up fifteen. The compounding only starts if you survive the first week. And almost nobody does, because day-one Claude Code feels mediocre. Your context isn't loaded. Your skills aren't written. Your CLAUDE.md is empty. The tool is guessing about your role, your product, your standards, everything. The PMs at 1500 hours aren't smarter than the ones who quit on day two. They just didn't quit on day two. Every PM interview at a frontier AI company in 2026 is some version of "show me your setup." The honest answer for most people right now is "I tried it once." Build the hour. Then build the loop.

One of the most productive engineers I know cannot read code. Matt Van Horn is not an engineer by training. He co-founded June, has 44,000 GitHub stars, and got contributions merged into Go & Python. I had him build live for an hour & walk me through his process. My fav lessons & quotes from the convo: 1) He never reads code. He does not have an IDE installed. In his words, "I fundamentally believe that very soon no humans should ever write any code and that no humans should ever read any code." 2) Every project starts with the agent writing itself a plan.md file using Compound Engineering. Agents are lazy, he says, and the plan keeps them honest. He never reads the plan either. "Plans are for agents, you silly human." 3) His CLIs leave notes for themselves. Each run records what it learned in a markdown file, so the next run starts where the last one ended. He calls them self-healing. 4) His agent has an email address. From Telegram on his phone, he sends a task. It emails his Mac, authenticated, and the work starts while he is at his kids' soccer practice. 5) He feeds whole transcripts, not summaries. After a two-hour meeting with a Google Ventures researcher, his agent read the researcher's entire book, wrote itself a report on every chapter, and turned it all into a plan for his business. 6) Him yapping to his agents is like nerd ASMR. "Go agent go" is how he likes to finish telling the agent what to do. 7) How he thinks about this next chapter of building: "Every generation of tools moves the engineer's job up a level. The code was never the point. The problem was."

We think it's safe to say that ShibChain has reached a major milestone. Its Layer 1 core network is fully integrated, and its bridge is ready for an independent security audit. We're not trying to compete with other blockchains, each of which has its own purpose and use cases. We wanted to build something from the ground up that puts community at the heart of the network. It isn't about how much wealth or computing power you have. It's about giving every person a meaningful way to contribute and be rewarded. ShibChain uses our own implementation of Proof of Participation. The idea behind it is not something I thought of. The person who inspired me to begin experimenting with it is blockchain expert Capodieci.eth - one of the smartest people I've had the chance to learn from. After 3 years of work, we've built two different versions from scratch: one entirely in Go and another in Swift. The next phase includes independent security audits, validator partnerships, stronger operational infrastructure, and preparations for a secure public mainnet launch. The core technology has reached the point where the challenge is no longer building the vision alone. It is now about bringing together the right partners, security experts, and funding to test ShibChain at scale and launch it responsibly. It has been a long day, so I'll share a full blog post soon covering the technology, what makes ShibChain different, and the roadmap ahead. For now, the important news is this: ShibChain is real. It's running. And it's ready for its next chapter. Although, after saying "ShibChain" this many times, I'm starting to think it might need a new name, maybe just Shiba. The Shiba blockchain. 😂

At one point, together with Naval, Nivi wrote one of the most influential startup blogs of its time. Here is his advice on how to write well: 1. People try to write their thought process. So, what's the thought process that led them to such and such conclusion? Nobody cares about your thought process. Just give the conclusion and then support it. 2. People try to sound like they're smart. You're not smart. Just give us the answer. We don't need to fluff it up. So just write it like you're writing an email to somebody. 3. People think longer is better. No, it's not. Just write something short. I don't write emails that are longer than three sentences. And that puts the burden on the writer to figure out what the reader wants and communicate it precisely and cogently and briefly in just a few sentences. 4. You're not going to be a good writer if you're not a reader, so read some good stuff. I like to read people's tweets. Those are pretty good. I like to read some fiction, like Shakespeare or Cormac McCarthy or maybe some James Clavell. Those are good writers. And I like to watch the classics on HBO like The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, which all have great writing. If you're watching Apple TV shows and being entertained by those and think those have good writing, I can't help you. 5. For business writing, you have to get into a customer service mindset. You're there to solve their problems. You also have to get into a design mindset, which is, you have to get into the reader's head, understand their problem, and sequence your ideas in the correct order, and with the right amount of extra information that they didn't ask for, that displays that you've thought through the issue for them on their behalf, looked at the other side of the argument, and presented things to them that they didn't know that they needed. 6. You have to think about what you would want to know if you were in the other person's shoes and argue against yourself either implicitly or explicitly or just go through the thought process yourself and see if there's anything there. 7. You also just have to care about words and the order of words and the ideas that they're communicating. Like I will reread an email that I sent someone the next day just for the enjoyment of rereading the great email that I wrote.

This Chinese developer launched 6 agents under 1 orchestrator, and they run his UI design agency at $32,000 a month on their own. He built a system of 6 agents on Claude Sonnet 4.6 that single-handedly runs his agency for UI auditing and redesign for SaaS startups and e-commerce. No contractors, no project manager, and no team. Just him, a MacBook, and 1 API key. Traditional design agencies out of Shenzhen keep teams of 8 people on salaries for the same volume, while he keeps only API tokens. 6 agents work through a single orchestrator on Claude Code Router. Usage is about 4 million tokens a day, the average API bill is just $480 a month. All 6 go through MCP servers and write shared state to the file system, without shared state in memory and without race conditions. And here is the system prompt he gave the orchestrator before launch: "you are the orchestrator of a one-man UI agency. you delegate read-only research tasks to 5 sub-agents and own all writes. sub-agents: // Hunter (finds SaaS and e-commerce sites with outdated UI) // Auditor (runs each site through Lighthouse, accessibility, and design system checks) // Pitcher (writes cold outreach and redesign proposals with before/after screenshots) // Splitter (breaks accepted projects into typed milestones) // Designer (generates Figma mockups and Tailwind components) // Checker (runs evals on every artifact before it leaves the harness). you never let 2 sub-agents touch 1 file. you stop and request human approval only when an invoice exceeds $5,000 or when the design system eval score drops below 0.88." Meaning the system knows exactly what it is and within what boundaries it operates. It knows it is supposed to find clients on its own. It knows it is supposed to write proposals with screenshots and mockups without intervention. It knows the human only plugs in when the amounts go above $5,000 or when the design system eval does not converge. → The system runs 24 hours a day → Hunter finds about 200 sites with outdated UI a day → Auditor runs each one through Lighthouse and WCAG → Pitcher prepares about 28 personalized proposals with before/after screenshots → Splitter breaks 3 accepted projects per week into milestones → Designer generates mockups and components, Checker runs evals on every artifact And only when the invoice breaks $5,000 or the eval drops below 0.88 does the orchestrator wake the human. Here is what the system outputs in his log during 1 of the sessions: "hunter report, tuesday: 213 sites found, 31 with last redesign before 2020, 14 with Lighthouse score below 65, 6 with active redesign RFP. passing top 6 to auditor." "pitcher: 27 cold outreach sent with before/after screenshots, 5 replies, 3 discovery calls scheduled. passing to splitter." "designer: milestone 2 of Lotus Tea Co redesign complete. Figma frames exported to /Users/dev/agency/clients/lotus/v2. checker running design system evals." "eval flag: proposal for $6,800 exceeds the approved limit of $5,000. sending for manual review." He has no remote server. No separate backend. Just a local file sandbox in /Users/dev/agency, an MCP router, and an API key to Claude. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest one-person UI design agency: $480 in, about $32,000 out, and between them 6 prompts and 1 file system.

✨ I spent the last 48 hours making GPT-4 read the entire Solana validator codebase and write documentation, so doesn't have to. Introducing — an AI-powered chatbot trained on nothing but code that can answer deep technical questions. How it works 👇 But first... A huge shoutout to , Zahid Khawaja, and Sean. Their hard work made prototyping this thing a breeze. Without further ado... Devs like to write code, not documentation. Tribal knowledge is lost when devs move on to other projects, leaving future devs to sort through mountains of code and figure out not just how it works, but why it works that way. This is all about to change. GPT-4's ability to write code is stunning. It seems to understand something fundamental about writing software that previous models just didn't. This comprehension of the principles that drive the design behind a complex system carries over into its ability to document existing codebases in a truly impressive way. With the enlarged context window(s), it's now feasible to feed GPT-4 entire files of code and ask it to write documentation about how the code works. Taking this as a starting point, the process looks something like this: 1. Download repo. 2. Depth-first traversal of repo contents, ignoring things like package-lock and binary files. 3. For each file, feed to GPT-4 and ask it to write documentation in markdown. 4. Save the output in a separate location as [outputRoot]/[inputFilepath][inputFilename].md 5. For each folder, we ask GPT-4 to write a summary of the folder, taking the newly generated documentation for all files in the folder and the summaries from each of its subfolders as context. Write this to the filesystem as markdown. Now we have a filesystem that matches the structure of the input repo, but all files in the tree are markdown documentation of the corresponding code file. From here, we: 1. Load markdown documents into LangChain. 2. Embed all documents via OpenAI embeddings. 3. Store embeddings in Pinecone. When a user sends a query: 1. Embed query. 2. Find k-nearest markdown files. 3. Feed to GPT-4 with a prompt asking to answer the query based on k-nearest markdown documents provided. The craziest part of all this? GPT-4 actually wrote ~30% of the code. The results are pretty good for 2 days of work. There is certainly room for improvement. Some items that are top of mind: 1. TolyGPT will occasionally hallucinate answers. It is especially bad with links to external sources, like GitHub. The base model seems to know a bit about Solana already, and sometimes this creeps in. Fine-tuning the prompt can solve some of this. 2. Context selection is difficult in a codebase this large. For example, sometimes it will pull in details about the Solana SDK when asked about transaction processing. The SDK files can seem relevant depending on the phrasing of the question. It may be worth breaking the documentation into subsystems to limit this. 3. Not all files fit into the 32k token window. As of now, there are 23 (out of ~1,100) files that cannot be documented in their entirety. Some of these files are very important to how Solana works. Final thoughts: 1. GPT-4 is super powerful, and we're going to see a ton of tools that supercharge the entire software development lifecycle. This is not 12 months away. For the people that can afford it, these tools are here now. And they're only getting better. Act accordingly. 2. The price of inference has to come down for this to go mainstream. I spent about $300 prototyping this project, and the final crawl cost about the same. The high cost of GPT-4 will push developers to other, cheaper alternatives with similar performance. This is coming very soon. If you have a large software project and you're interested in something like this for your codebase, fill out this form and we'll be in touch this week. Or just DM me :)

🚨SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD IS COMING THIS WEEK Everyone thinks the SpaceX crash is over. Wrong. And if you think it can't go lower, you're not seeing what's about to hit. SpaceX topped at $225. It's now near $110 almost −52% in a month. And here's the kicker: that entire collapse happened while only about 5% of shares were even tradeable. That changes next week. The first earnings report in company history lands Aug 4, after close. Everyone's fixated on the revenue number (~$6.8B, Starlink printing). They're watching the wrong thing. Because two days later, the lockup breaks and up to 911 million shares flood the market. That more than doubles the tradeable float overnight. Then another ~7% unlocks around Aug 21, again in September, and it keeps stacking through November. Now connect the dots. The −52% dump already happened. Retail chased. Funds bought. And now supply is about to 4x. If the stock is already bleeding on 5% float, imagine what 20%+ does to it. And here's the trap it doesn't matter how the earnings actually look: → If the report is strong, the pop just gives insiders the exit they've been waiting for. They finally get to sell, and retail becomes the liquidity they sell into. → If the report is weak, you get falling price and a doubled float at the same time a straight trapdoor. Either way, the outcome is the same. A float that doubles doesn't get bought it gets absorbed. Slowly. Lower. Wave after wave into December. Be ready. The real price discovery starts next week. Reminder: I've called the major tops and bottoms for years gold, silver, the oil collapse, the SpaceX drop, Bitcoin's crash. All before they happened. When I exit the markets completely, I'll post it here like always. Turn notifications on. If you're not following yet, you'll understand why soon enough.

This man is a matatu driver with two children. He wakes up early every day at 4 a.m. and goes to work. Yesterday, after finishing work, he happened to check his wife’s phone and found messages of her chatting with different men about having sex. It turns out she has been cheating with the local police officer in the area. While the husband is out working to provide for the family, the wife goes to the police to experience horizontal engineering . Just imagine: you wake up early in the morning to hustle for your family, only to discover your wife is being used by other men. He then told his wife he would throw her out so she could go live with those police officers. They started arguing, the wife left the house and stayed outside for a long time, then returned late at night with the police, claiming that her husband had beaten her and turning the whole thing into a case against him. The wife has even teamed up with the landlord and some goons, so the man is now being targeted. The children are saying their father never beat their mother — that claim is a complete lie.

New! ✨ Lex 🤝 Kit ✨ We built a new technique to train AI to write in your voice—using your Kit newsletters—that's the closest I've ever gotten AI to sound like me. 👉 > "Damn. This is really solid. Immediately obvious that it is trained on my newsletters." — Nathan Barry > "damn finally just read this and those subject lines and that example newsletter, it feels 90% nailed, super intrigued how we can build this tone of voice into the app more, feels like a total gear shift for any AI suggestions." — fred rivett 🇬🇧📈 (usually a skeptic of the "write a draft for me" approach) The way we did it is cool and (I think?) new! We all know if you go to ChatGPT or Claude and ask it to write for you, it's gonna sound like AI. Maybe you've tried uploading some examples or a style guide and still get disappointing results. Lots of AI writing apps purport to "write in your style," but they typically just generate a short summary of your style using a prompt like "Analyze the style and tone of these writing samples" and then stick it into the prompt. Maaaaybe they'll throw in a few examples. We've tried this and didn't think it was great, so we killed it. But when Nathan Barry pushed us to think about this problem again, we came up with a subtly new technique that had a big impact on the results. (The reason I'm sharing it is because our goal is to build the world's best interface for collaborating on text, and the world's best platform for saving, sharing, and running prompts. Proprietary prompting techniques are not our thing.) Instead of just asking what the "style" is (a very fuzzy question) we ask AI what patterns it can find. Specifically we ask it to look for patterns in structure and tone. Then—and this is crucial—we ask the AI to generate a detailed set of instructions that a new writer could use to consistently reproduce those patterns. We include those instructions and a bunch of examples in a prompt (often quite a large one, it's kinda expensive for us tbh). I think it works so much better than just giving examples or giving a broad overview of "style" because LLMs are trained to pay close attention to instructions and thrive on specificity. Here we ask the LLM to look for very specific patterns and generate equally specific instructions to reproduce those patterns. The other cool thing is unlike a fine-tuned model this is powered by a big-ass prompt that you can inspect and modify to your liking. Does it sound a little too enthusiastic? A bit cheesy? Just edit the prompt. Of course it's not perfect, it's still gonna need careful editing, but to us this feels like an obvious leap. I'd be really curious to hear if it feels the same to you. To start this is only available via our Kit integration but we'll start rolling it out more broadly soon. You can sign up at 👉 Would love your honest feedback!

The Lyrics of Imperfect Mew : Every moment in the song is based on a true story. 🗣️: Can you share some of it with us? Mew : Looking at the lyrics, the first verse starts from the moment of waking up. I wrote it when we were on a cruise, we went to the Caribbean together. The image of sunlight shining on his face, that messy, bedhead look right after waking up... just how incredibly cute he was 😆 Mew : The next verse talks about things we’ve experienced together, such as when we went traveling and missed a train. When we look back on it now, it’s actually funny. Or when it suddenly started raining and we didn’t have an umbrella, so we had to take off a shirt and cover ourselves. In those moments, the imperfection somehow became perfect for us. 🗣️: So this is all based on a true story? Mew: All of it is real. 🗣️: Not a scene from a series? 😂 Mew: No, it really happened. The train incident happened in Munich. Usually, he’s the one who checks the schedule. Like, where to go, which platform and what time. But that day, it looked like he read it wrong, so we rushed because we thought we were going to miss it. But actually, he didn’t read it wrong, the train changed platforms. We had to go to another one. It was funny. No one was at fault… the platform was the one that was wrong 😂 Mew : When I told him which moments behind the song, he related to it so much. He listens to it every night now. He probably knows the lyrics better than I do 😂 Mew : Usually when I write a song, I let him listen to it first. He relates to this one so deeply that he especially loves it.

LET'S TAKE IT ALL BACK: (psssst... attorneys won't like this) Remember Miki Klann from Maricopa County? I tweeted about her in the Maricopa Board of Supervisors meeting the other day and it got over 6M views because Miki makes common (law) sense. Watch the video below because this is the type of OFFENSIVE strategy we all need right about now! In 2021 she and her partner Ann LeFlore started a project called Bonds for the Win which liberated 50 million children from mask mandates in the public schools!! They taught parents how to request their elected officials’ oath of office, surety bond and liability policies. We witnessed acts of bravery as parents presented school boards with personal liability for practicing medicine without a license. In fact many of the elected officials would run out of the room in fear of getting served!! As a result, one state after another removed mask mandates, and next thing you know Biden removed ALL THE mandates nationwide! He did this just after funding the public schools with over $1.2 billion in Esser funds to push masks and vaccines. So why such a sudden change of heart? Well, it turned out that not a single elected official has ever had a proper surety bond, which makes them all illegitimate. Miki and her team also discovered that not a single elected official has ever signed a proper oath of office to the original Constitutional Republic. And without fair elections, these people should not be in office to begin with! After two years of learning common law, Miki and her team have now developed a new, 3 step process which brings all the power back to the people. Are you ready to serve this country? Then go grab a pen and some popcorn! I suspect that you’re about to see MANY more board members running out of city, county, and state board rooms real soon. Let’s take back our Republic brick by brick! 🎥🎉😎

🚨 The “13th Scientist”? NASA Nuclear Engineer Burned in Tesla Crash Sparks Major Questions 29-year-old Joshua LeBlanc was a rising star at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama — an aerospace electrical engineer leading work on nuclear propulsion systems, including the DRACO project that could one day power humans to Mars. On July 22, 2025, he didn’t show up for work. His family reported him missing at 4:32 a.m. — phone and wallet left behind at home. Hours later, his Tesla was found crashed into a guardrail and trees, fully engulfed in flames. His body was burned beyond recognition. Tesla Sentry Mode reportedly showed the car parked at the local airport for several hours that morning. Tragic accident? Or the latest piece in a chilling pattern? Social media and recent reports are calling LeBlanc the 13th (or 12th, depending on the count) scientist/researcher tied to NASA, JPL, nuclear propulsion, aerospace, or classified defense tech to die or go missing since 2022. The FBI is now reviewing multiple cases for possible connections, with some involving sensitive national security work. Some deaths had clear explanations (accidents, unrelated crimes). Others remain murky — no phones, sudden disappearances, unclear causes. High-stress jobs with security clearances come with risks, and coincidences happen… but when this many experts in cutting-edge tech go down in a short window, people notice. Authorities say there’s no confirmed conspiracy linking them all. But the pattern has lawmakers and investigators digging deeper. What do you think — tragic cluster of bad luck in demanding fields, or something darker worth watching closely? Drop your take below (keep it civil and fact-based). Tragic loss either way for a young talent working on humanity’s next frontier. 💡

John Mayer is a master of his craft. He’s also one of the best I’ve come across at using analogy and demonstration to articulate and demystify the creative process. Here’s a 14-clip (~7-minute) masterclass on mastery and creativity: TL;DW 1/ “Whenever I want to write a big song, I can't...That's when I get writer's block: when I try to write a song to fill the entire galaxy. I've never gotten a song that way. But if I write about something the size of a glass of water—a week later, I notice it's got the universe in it. So I'd rather have the universe in a glass of water than try to make a glass of water fit in the universe.” 2/ "What connects with people is you connecting with yourself." 3/ “Writer’s block is when the two people inside of you—the writer and the reader—when the reader doesn’t love the writer. It is not a failure to write. It is a failure to catch the feedback loop of enjoying what you’re seeing and wanting to contribute more to it.” 4/ “Don't shoot ideas down before you have them. 'That won't work' is the worst thing you can ever say. 'That didn't work' is cool, but 'that won't work' is not a way to go through life.” 5/ “I’ve seen the Cool metric change so many times. I'm not telling you don't chase Cool. I'm saying…by the time you reach what you think is cool, Cool is like, 'over here now.’ ‘The princess is in another castle.' You know what I mean? That's a Mario reference.” 6/ "I'm one-half consumer, one-half artist. So I try to put music out that I myself would want to hear as somebody on the other end." 7/ "I'm seeing a lot of motivation about you following your passion, but I'm not seeing any critical thought to what that is or how to be better at that. So, really the product is passion and that's strange to me. Because my product growing up was sitting in a room yelling, 'Mom, I'm practicing,' for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours. 8/ "But then also read up...You know, this stuff doesn't just appear. It comes from somewhere. And as soon as you realize you love something—it's almost like catching up with some great TV show on season 9, and you can go, 'oh my God, that means there's 8 seasons before this." 9/ "Whatever you learn is the tip of the iceberg. Dive underwater and find the rest of the iceberg." 10/ "So listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan brought me back to people like Kenny Burrell and Albert King and Jimi Hendrix and Elmore James. So it became this family tree growing out of my CD player." 11/ "I came up with these guys as like references…It’s like if you're into the NBA and you wear different jerseys and you pretend you're a different player in the driveway—that's what I was doing..." 12/ "Which is a wonderful technique for being yourself. Failing to sound exactly like the person you want to sound like is a wonderful way to sound like yourself." 13/ After watching Cory Wong play guitar, Mayer told him, "You have an anatomy thing working on your right hand. Your hand is shaped in a way—you have long fingers, very sinewy hands—that you're able to play like that. That is an example of someone making the most of their anatomical gifts... And I wish more people could embrace finding what their strengths are anatomically—the way your hand is shaped, the way your mind works, whatever—and play to those strengths." 14/ Mayer picks up an acoustic guitar and demonstrates his songwriting process. “Well, I don’t always do it,” he admitted, “because it requires a stupid bravery all the time.” “You just stare at the corner of the wall," Mayer explains then improvises some vocals, “stare at the corner of the wall / try to get it going on / but I can’t sometimes / you just keep going ’til you get something,” he stops singing. “You gotta keep forcing it, forcing it, forcing it…it doesn’t matter [what comes out of your mouth].” Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!

'That won't work' is the worst thing you can ever say. 'That didn't work' is cool, but 'that won't work' is not a way to go through life.” 5/ “I’ve seen the Cool metric change so many times. I'm not telling you don't chase Cool. I'm saying…by the time you reach what you think is cool, Cool is like, 'over here now.’ ‘The princess is in another castle.' You know what I mean? That's a Mario reference.” 6/ "I'm one-half consumer, one-half artist. So I try to put music out that I myself would want to hear as somebody on the other end." 7/ "I'm seeing a lot of motivation about you following your passion, but I'm not seeing any critical thought to what that is or how to be better at that. So, really the product is passion and that's strange to me. Because my product growing up was sitting in a room yelling, 'Mom, I'm practicing,' for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours. 8/ "But then also read up...You know, this stuff doesn't just appear. It comes from somewhere. And as soon as you realize you love something—it's almost like catching up with some great TV show on season 9, and you can go, 'oh my God, that means there's 8 seasons before this." 9/ "Whatever you learn is the tip of the iceberg. Dive underwater and find the rest of the iceberg." 10/ "So listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan brought me back to people like Kenny Burrell and Albert King and Jimi Hendrix and Elmore James. So it became this family tree growing out of my CD player." 11/ "I came up with these guys as like references…It’s like if you're into the NBA and you wear different jerseys and you pretend you're a different player in the driveway—that's what I was doing..." 12/ "Which is a wonderful technique for being yourself. Failing to sound exactly like the person you want to sound like is a wonderful way to sound like yourself." 13/ After watching Cory Wong play guitar, Mayer told him, "You have an anatomy thing working on your right hand. Your hand is shaped in a way—you have long fingers, very sinewy hands—that you're able to play like that. That is an example of someone making the most of their anatomical gifts... And I wish more people could embrace finding what their strengths are anatomically—the way your hand is shaped, the way your mind works, whatever—and play to those strengths." 14/ Mayer picks up an acoustic guitar and demonstrates his songwriting process. “Well, I don’t always do it,” he admitted, “because it requires a stupid bravery all the time.” “You just stare at the corner of the wall," Mayer explains then improvises some vocals, “stare at the corner of the wall / try to get it going on / but I can’t sometimes / you just keep going ’til you get something,” he stops singing. “You gotta keep forcing it, forcing it, forcing it…it doesn’t matter [what comes out of your mouth].” Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT 🚨 Man comes forward: HE WAS PAID $150 PER DAY TO PROTEST IN THE LA ICE RIOTS This is highly organized. Entire warehouses are rented out, huge lines of people singing contracts TO BE PAID TO PROTEST In the warehouse there were people MAKING EXPLOSIVES “I was tricked into being an active participant in this peaceful protest, AKA race riots that are going on in Los Angeles. And I know I'm going to get in trouble because talking about it is against the contract I signed, which should have been the first red flag, but I got to tell my side of the story. So my brother's lived in Los Angeles for the past three years, and I was down there for about a week visiting. Well, around night five or six, he told me that he's going to go do something tomorrow and he's going to make some money. So I inquired, well, what do you got to do? I want to make some money, too. So he's like, yeah, bro, you can come with me. And I don't know all the details about what we're going to be doing yet, but I'm getting paid $150 a day to essentially protest something in a peaceful manner that is protected by the Constitution. I said okay I'm coming. So morning time rolls around, we get ready and we go. We pull up to the address. Now, the address is like a warehouse. I'm like, whoa, bro, I did not sign up to work a factory job. He goes, I promise, this is not that. Just come inside. So as soon as you enter the doors of this place, you are now in a line. And at the end of the line, there's a desk, and there's a piece of paper and a pen and a guy standing at this desk. And I'm noticing. I'm peeking ahead in line, and I'm noticing that he's having guys sign things, and then he's handing them an envelope. I said, great, that must be the money. So after I signed the papers and I grabbed the envelope, I now entered into the next dimension of the warehouse. Now, the next dimension of the warehouse, it looked like preparation for a peaceful protest. I mean, there's sunscreen, there's water bottles. But if you do a little further, you realize that this is gonna be anything but peaceful. So I look a little further past the water, past the sunscreen, and I see something that resembles rudimentary explosive making. And, you know, I nudged my brother like, bro, look at this. Y' all so chill. Don't worry about that. Come on. So then we head to the back door where everyone was exiting out of. And now they're handing everybody a Mexican flag as they exit this building. And I grab it. I'm looking at him like, man, I'm a Republican. But I definitely can't tell them that now. Like, I'm committed to the bit. And after that, the rest is history. You've seen what happened all over the news. I'm just glad I made it out okay.”
