Me & Asake met in 2020, I met him before he dropped Omo ope, he texted me May 13th and sent me a file, I sent him a song and then he was like he has a song and if I jump on it it will be so crazy, most times I have 2 thoughts when someone says that maybe they don’t like what I sent to them, everybody has texted me but I can’t be friends with everybody, no artiste in this world hasn’t texted me for something one way or the other” —-Buju BNXN on how he met Asake before Asake blew up 🗣️

KatanyuTonight x EMBPFK #KatanyuTonightxFFFPartyConcert2026 //this is so crazy I---.. and brother how much more were you going to say????? 🐈‍⬛: Can I talk about it? 🐈: About that? 🐈‍⬛: Maybe I'll answer the question first. If I chose someone as my roommate... it's Khaotung. Because, like I said, we work together, we often sleep together, so we know what it's like. 🐈‍⬛: Khaotung doesn't make the bathroom floor wet. : Don't you shower? Or do you— 🐈: I shower. But... but I don't like the bathroom floor being wet. 🐈‍⬛: And when we sleep... 🐈: I get hot easily. (?????) 🐈‍⬛: Hey, okay... I mean..Some nights when I'm really tired, maybe a little bit. A little bit of snoring, but only on nights when I'm really tired. 🐈‍⬛: And I can talk now, right? : You already talked, you don't need to tell me anymore.

Goooooood morning! I'm trying something new and posting my premarket video here on X....retweet this if you want me to post more earlyyyy morning videos like this! Who's willing to wake up early and study? 100+ retweets and I'll post more like this as it's only 7:30am EST and already its been a CRAZY morning with premarket runners with so much to learn from. I should've taken my own advice from my last video lesson and woken up early as $KNW has been a beautifulllll premarket spiker, congrats to early risers...also congrats to several students who listened to the Jack Kellogg webinar on Friday as his $RKLB play has been a beautiful over-the-weekend play and congrats to my subscribers too as my weekend play on $CHGG has been chugging along nicely to the 1.90 area from my buy in the 1.60s. And last but certainly least, give pro trader Juan C. Pena crap for having 20k $KNW over the weekend from the 1.30s and piking it in the 1.30s so he could go back to sleep, just minutes before it spiked all the way to 5, a costly $70,000+ nap LOL

Chamath on the Burger King graveyard shift he worked at 14 years old and calls it the most valuable thing that ever happened to him "My dad was a diplomat in the embassy of Sri Lanka in Canada. This fucking war in Sri Lanka is crazy. He writes this essay, his life is threatened, so he files for refugee status. He gets it." "He gets kicked out of the embassy, so he doesn't have a job. My mom becomes a housekeeper, and we're kind of toiling in this poverty cycle." "So at 14, I had to get a job. I would take the money and I'd buy the bus passes, I'd buy some of the groceries, just trying to make it all work, right? And I got a job at the Burger King." "This is another example where I was like, I'm going to go get a job. "Hey, can you drive me to the interview?" And my dad's like, 'No. Get on your fucking bicycle and go.'" "And I thought, "Bro, we need this, you need the money more than I do, why are you making me bicycle?" But I bicycled, and I got the job, and I worked there." "I used to work the night shift. 14-year-old kid, man from fucking 8 to 2 in the morning." [Joe: Wow.] "And I'd have to clean this, like, 8pm to 2 in the morning." [Joe: And then you had to go to school in the morning?] "No, this was always like Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Thursday, Friday -- sorry, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. And then, yeah, some days I'd have to go to school." "And why did I work until 2? Because when the restaurant closes, you get whatever food is left over, right? So you get a couple chicken sandwiches, the version of the McNuggets that Burger King had, a couple Whoppers, and you take them home." "But the amount of vomit I had to clean up in the bathroom -- you can't imagine, man. A downtown Burger King near bars after closing time, the shit you see" [Joe: Oh, wow.] "...and the shit you deal with. And all I could think of was, I just want to get the fuck out of here. But that was so valuable for me."

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.

Oh… so yeah, I didn’t mention this happened. Last Friday afternoon, I got a surprise invite onto Sky News - live - the morning of the mass non compliance protest against digital ID in London. Yep, I was as shocked as anyone! I said yes because it was live - less chance of them chopping it up to make me look like a nut. And honestly? It was fair. Was I nervous? Absolutely. Could you tell? Maybe. This aired at 11:20am on Sky News UK, Saturday 18th October. Do I wish I went harder on calling out Tony Blair as the WEF’s front man? Sure. Still a mini-mic drop. But hindsight’s 20-20. Not bad for someone running on a few hours’ sleep a night for weeks! Now, cue the “controlled opposition” comments - go on, you can’t resist 😅 Six years of activism, never once platformed by mainstream or even so-called “alternative” outlets… until now. If you’re wondering why Sky News suddenly wanted to talk to me - same. Maybe they realised the public’s waking up faster than they can spin it. Must’ve run out of scripted guests. Maybe they’re realising no one wants digital ID. Who knows? What I do know: I did it. And I’d do it again. Because the message matters - not the noise. To the genuine ones - the relentless, heart-led people who actually care about humanity - love you dearly. To the others chasing clicks by tearing down those who show up and do the work - get a new hobby. This isn’t 2020 anymore. The truth’s out. The fight’s on. This is a new wave.

1 song… 1 BTC When it happened earlier I didn’t quite realize right away what that really meant Despite knowing every inch of relentless work I put in for 3 years to get to this moment, it still didn’t feel real until… I sat down at my childhood piano and, fighting the tears, I played the song. My song. My diary. My story. But for the first time, it didn’t feel like I was singing the song. It felt like someone was singing it TO me. Someone who understood me and who knew to tell me I wasn’t crazy for being like this. Someone who went through the same uphill battles who knew exactly what I needed to hear to keep going. And then I realized again that I was the one who wrote those lines. That I was giving me strength all along. But that someone out there felt it too, enough to put such a value on it. And so many others feel it as well, and show me every day. The song brought me back to reality. The song told me the TRUTH. My own song transcended me for a moment, comforted me, like it knew me before I consciously know myself. And it gave me strength and awareness that there’s a chance that now others who also felt misunderstood, defeated and lonely maybe now feel hopeful. I think of all the artists (musicians in particular) out there who maybe experience this. And we forget that this is what our songs do to other people, until we’re so out of it ourselves that they do it to us. Our own songs heal US first, before we even realize. And then they heal, unite, ignite hope in others too. This is magic. Music is magic. Musi is God. This is only the beginning, but right now I hold back the tears as I sing this little song about all the n0 0rdinary kinds that made it possible. Inspired by other art, powered by a defiant community To all that thought they’d be lonely forever They’d never get a chance That they may as well die But who kept going You are not crazy. You are n0 0rdinary kind. And this song is for you.

“I experienced multiple timelines.” “My whole world shattered for two hours.” “And it was the most scary, disturbing experience in my life.” This is one of the wildest stories I’ve ever heard. One night, in the middle of the night, Hollywood producer Brent Friedman’s entire sense of reality broke. He just shared this mind-blowing story with Jesse Michels: “I’m at an Airbnb in LA one night.” “My day job is I’m working on a Call of Duty game.” “And I get a chime on my Slack.” “It’s like 1:00 in the morning.” “So I read the question, and … answer it.” Then he heard another chime. “The person’s like: what you said makes no sense.” “I’m like, okay, maybe I’m tired. Let me read what I said.” But what he saw on the screen was a totally different message than the one he had just sent. “So I correct it and I send it back.” “And then … he’s like: now you’re really confusing me.” “I look and I read it again, and … his original message is different now.” “I’m like, okay, this is weird … am I hallucinating?” So he went to a different Slack conversation with his creative director. They talked “all the time.” But now, he doesn’t even recognize the conversation. “We’re talking about things I’ve never heard of before.” “This is not the reality that I am living in.” “Now, I’m starting to get a little shaky.” He starts to wonder if he’s having a psychotic break. “Or I’m thinking to myself, do people get Alzheimer’s, like, overnight?” “What is happening to me?” “So I go to a different device.” “I go to my phone.” “I’m thinking, I’m gonna look at the texts from my wife.” “And we’re talking about a dog we don’t have.” “I’m starting to really freak out now.” “I’m checking, like, my heart’s fine.” “I’m pinching myself, I’m not dreaming.” “I’m doing all these checks just to make sure this is really happening.” “And it really is.” “And every time I go back to the computer, it keeps changing.” “So I’m like … I’m gonna shut down all my devices, I’m going to just take a shower.” “And I’m going to hope and pray that … when I wake up in the morning, everything will be reset.” When he’s in the shower, he hears a voice say one word: “Timelines.” After that, he went to sleep. The next morning, he opened his devices again with a sense of dread. “I boot everything up, and everything is back to normal—but only 99%.” “There’s a few weird little references that feel like artifacts left over from another timeline.” Jesse Michels American Alchemy Brent Friedman Bryce Zabel

I hate to feed into this but this messaging is disingenuous. 1. CBS Boston probably had some tech issues and their live stream cut in late. (It happens all the time. It happened during the KR trials a couple times, too. People are behind those cameras.) CBS Boston also posted the whole thing when the whole recording was uploaded this morning. 2. Melanie Little probably scheduled her live a half hour after the scheduled start because no one is allowed to stream the Zoom hearings and they’re usually about 20 minutes long. 3. Kyle Sharkey is doing a crazy amount of work for nothing and he had to email the clerk to see what was going on with the Zoom well after its scheduled start. He’s not controlling the media setup in the courtroom, but he IS doing everything he can to make sure people know where/how to tune into these hearings – including you ladies! 4. We ALL want ALL the hearings! In their entirety! Not myself or any Lawtuber wants to make videos on one hearing, in two parts, in reverse order. Come on. To suggest that there was this big conspiracy to block the first part of the hearing from airing, like “FKR” knew exactly how it was going to play out before the judge entered the courtroom, is ridiculous and weird. Stop it.

Zeudi: I was saying that Scarlett is wonderful. Yes, that’s what I was saying. I’m really happy to have met her. Anyway, aside from that, we were with the girls and had fun. It was the last night because the next day we woke up early to go to the airport. It’s always kind of tragic when we have to say goodbye, but then it’s okay. I mean, we’re sad, but it’s also nice because we know we’ll see each other again. And of course, everyone has to work—her life in London, my life in Naples—so it makes sense. But the funny thing—do you want to know what happened this morning? We went to the airport, all organized, everything done, perfect, as always. We get there, she’s about to go in, we’ve already said goodbye, everything’s fine, she’s about to enter. The first ticket doesn’t work. It doesn’t scan. What do you mean it doesn’t work? Okay, maybe it’s nothing. I see her trying several times from a distance. I’m thinking, “Until she’s completely gone and I can’t see her anymore, I’m not leaving.” She tries the second gate, again, it doesn’t work. She tries twice. Nothing. Third one, still nothing. It just won’t work. I’m like, “What happened? Maybe the airline got confused and didn’t give her the right QR code.” QR, whatever you want to call it. In the end she goes to the assistant and asks, “Excuse me, what’s wrong?” “Miss, you got the day wrong. This ticket is for the following Sunday.” “What do you mean?” And that was the reality, nothing could be done at that point. She comes back and I say, “What happened?” I had already figured out she bought the ticket for the wrong day. It happens, those were really intense days, and honestly I’ve done it before too. When you have so much going on, it can happen. She probably picked the wrong Sunday because the dates were so close. So in the end I said, “Alright, you know what? Here we go again.” She was able to move that ticket to another return in the future and bought a new one. And in fact, she ended up leaving later. But guys, it happens, seriously, always double-check when you buy tickets. After I messed up the first time, I actually missed a flight, I get anxious now and always go early, that’s one. Second, another time I made a mistake, not with a flight but with a train ticket. Actually, not the day… you know what I messed up? Not the date, but I mixed up the route. I bought, for example, Rome–Naples, and then Naples–Rome, but in reverse—like my departure was from Rome instead of Naples. And then again the return to Rome… I made such a mess. In the end, buying tickets online is always chaos—honestly, I’m like this every time.

Zeudi: I was saying that Scarlett is wonderful. Yes, that’s what I was saying. I’m really happy to have met her. Anyway, aside from that, we were with the girls and had fun. It was the last night because the next day we woke up early to go to the airport. It’s always kind of tragic when we have to say goodbye, but then it’s okay. I mean, we’re sad, but it’s also nice because we know we’ll see each other again. And of course, everyone has to work—her life in London, my life in Naples—so it makes sense. But the funny thing—do you want to know what happened this morning? We went to the airport, all organized, everything done, perfect, as always. We get there, she’s about to go in, we’ve already said goodbye, everything’s fine, she’s about to enter. The first ticket doesn’t work. It doesn’t scan. What do you mean it doesn’t work? Okay, maybe it’s nothing. I see her trying several times from a distance. I’m thinking, “Until she’s completely gone and I can’t see her anymore, I’m not leaving.” She tries the second gate, again, it doesn’t work. She tries twice. Nothing. Third one, still nothing. It just won’t work. I’m like, “What happened? Maybe the airline got confused and didn’t give her the right QR code.” QR, whatever you want to call it. In the end she goes to the assistant and asks, “Excuse me, what’s wrong?” “Miss, you got the day wrong. This ticket is for the following Sunday.” “What do you mean?” And that was the reality, nothing could be done at that point. She comes back and I say, “What happened?” I had already figured out she bought the ticket for the wrong day. It happens, those were really intense days, and honestly I’ve done it before too. When you have so much going on, it can happen. She probably picked the wrong Sunday because the dates were so close. So in the end I said, “Alright, you know what? Here we go again.” She was able to move that ticket to another return in the future and bought a new one. And in fact, she ended up leaving later. But guys, it happens, seriously, always double-check when you buy tickets. After I messed up the first time, I actually missed a flight, I get anxious now and always go early, that’s one. Second, another time I made a mistake, not with a flight but with a train ticket. Actually, not the day… you know what I messed up? Not the date, but I mixed up the route. I bought, for example, Rome–Naples, and then Naples–Rome, but in reverse—like my departure was from Rome instead of Naples. And then again the return to Rome… I made such a mess. In the end, buying tickets online is always chaos—honestly, I’m like this every time.

Elon Musk just explained why the best engineers on Earth will never take your call. Three reasons. Most companies fail all three. Elon Musk: “State what’s the mission, what’s the problem we’re trying to solve? And just be clearly willing to pour a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into it.” The top one percent of talent does not care about your office. Your perks. Your free lunches. Your branded hoodie. They care about one thing. Does this matter. If the answer takes more than one sentence to explain, they are already gone. Musk broke motivation into three layers. The first is the work itself. Musk: “Somebody’s got to look forward to coming to work in the morning. Are they enjoying the work itself intrinsically?” Not the paycheck. Not the title. The work. Solving problems most people cannot even frame correctly. Alongside people who make you sharper just by being in the room. If Monday morning feels like a sentence, no salary commutes it. The best people leave. Not eventually. Within months. The second is money. Musk: “They also feel like they will receive fair financial compensation. Like that the financial rewards are good and fair.” Not charity. Not below-market equity with a four-year cliff. Fair. One word. Most companies still get it wrong. The engineer who knows exactly what they generate does not negotiate. They compare. When the gap gets wide enough, they vanish. No conversation. No counteroffer window. Two-week notice on a Friday afternoon. You do not cap the ceiling of someone producing at that level. You match it. Or you fill the desk again in six months. The third is the one that separates real companies from forgettable ones. Musk: “For the best people in the world, they’ll want to know: is what they’re doing going to matter? If they spend 10 years doing this, will it make a difference to the world?” Ten years. The best engineers on the planet are running a calculation no recruiter has a spreadsheet for. If I give this company a decade of my life, does the world look different because I did? If the answer is no, they are not coming. No signing bonus changes that. No recruiter pitch rewrites it. No equity package papers over it. The mission has to be real. And the person at the top has to be visibly bleeding for it. Musk: “Be clearly willing to pour blood, sweat, and tears into it.” Talent watches the founder before they read the offer letter. If the person running the company is coasting, optimizing for exits, playing it safe, the best people sense it before the first interview ends. They do not want a manager. They want someone who has bet everything and would do it again tomorrow. Most companies post a job. The ones that land the best people alive offer something no job listing can contain. The work has to be the reward. The money has to be fair. The mission has to be worth a decade of someone’s only life. Miss one and the person you needed most never even opened your email.

CNN's Van Jones turns on Democrats during government shutdown fight over political strategy | Stephanie Samsel, Fox News This is just ‘one more piece of garbage’ coming at Americans, Van Jones warned on ‘Real Time’ CNN political commentator Van Jones shared his "concern" for Democrats on "Real Time" Friday as the government shutdown drags into the weekend. "I think you can always trust our party to do the wrong thing at the wrong time for the right reason," Jones charged. The Senate again failed to reopen the government Friday on a largely party line, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and most Senate Democrats refusing to budge on their fight over Obamacare. They argue that people who use Obamacare will see their health-care premiums skyrocket if Congress doesn’t immediately negotiate a bipartisan continuing resolution (CR) extending Obamacare tax credits that expire at the end of the year. The CNN pundit acknowledged he might "piss off" some of his Democratic friends before explaining what he sees as the party’s political disadvantage in forcing a shutdown. "So now people are going to be mad about the post office and a hundred other things that Republicans can then blame on us," the commentator lamented. While Jones objected to healthcare premiums going "through the roof" in October, he addressed what he sees as the less harmful option. "I get it, the base is upset…’Please do something, do anything,’ but the something probably shouldn’t be throwing a bunch of people out of work in the federal government and crushing American government’s ability to function right before the pain was about to start," he argued. "So that’s my concern." Jones appeared to share "Real Time" host Bill Maher’s view that the shutdown is a form of "leverage" for Democrats. However, he stressed that it should be used "at the right time," calling the shutdown just one more "piece of garbage" thrown at Americans. The commentator went on to call out Schumer’s apparent change of heart about the situation. "The weird thing is, I talked to Chuck Schumer about this like three months ago, and he was kicking me in the butt because I had been tough on him for not allowing the government to shut down," Jones recalled. "And he convinced me that shutting the government down is stupid. Then I turn on the TV and he says, ‘We’re now shutting the government down.’" While Jones called the shutdown’s timing "not that great," he concluded, "Maybe it’ll work." Both political parties have yet to reach a deal on Capitol Hill. Republicans, like Senate Majority Leader John Thune, accuse Democrats of holding Americans – and their government – "hostage." "This is about doing what's in the best interest of the American people," Thune said Friday. "And what's in the best interest of the American people is keeping the government open and operating so it can continue to work on their behalf."

Alfonso Cuarón on how this continuous shot in "Children of Men" (2006) was clinched in the final attempt & the "Miracle" that occurred while filming: "Interviewer: When Theo runs into a hollowed-out bus in that shot, blood splatters on the camera lens. Can you tell me how that happened? Cuarón: Initially, there was going to be blood splatter on the lens when they ki!!ed Julianne Moore. We were going to add that digitally. But long story short — or long story long — is that for [the refugee camp] shot, we had like 14 days to shoot the whole set piece, except by day 12 we hadn’t rolled cameras yet. As you can guess, by day three that you don’t shoot camera, they send a production guy from the studio to visit you. By the sixth day that you haven’t done it, the creative executive comes to visit you. Well, by the time that you reach the 11th day, the head of the studio is there. That kind of stuff. And the problem is that we had only two shots a day to do the thing. The morning, then you have to reset the explosions, the screams, the whole thing. Five hours to reset. So you only have another shot right before the light goes away. And the problem is that, we could not extend it to the 15th day, because there was already a commitment with the army or something, one of those things. So we are in the 13th day, and in the afternoon, we do our first shot. Then after a minute and a half, it just was wrong. So we had to reset for the next day. The next morning we do the first take, and everything is perfect, and we’re about to reach the end. We were running towards getting inside the building, when [camera operator] George [Richardson] tripped, and so the camera fell. So we only had one more shot for one more before we have to move out. It was the end of my career. Interviewer: Were you panicking at that point? Cuarón: You know, at that point, you’re just focusing. Interviewer: Okay, so you get to the final attempt at the shot. Cuarón: And when we arrived at the bus, the camera goes in, and blood splatters the lens. With my little monitor, I see that I cannot see anything. I yell, “Cut!” But an explosion happens at the same time, so nobody hears me. And that gives me time to think, “Look, I have to roll to the end.” So we kept on going. When we said, “Cut,” Chivo [Emmanuel Lubezki] starts dancing like crazy. And I was like, “No, it didn’t work! There’s blood!” And Chivo turns to me and says, “You stupid! That was a miracle! The blood goes here, not with Julianne Moore!” Yeah, that was supposed to go in the other scene, but it happened here."

Blog 211 Charles Barkley meets Frank Seven years ago to this day, Frank the Tank was born with his famous NJ Transit rant. Today, he was casually talking ball with Charles Barkley. Never give up on your dreams. MikeyBets arrives in NJ late tonight and is covering while I attend my friend’s wedding in Georgia. Frank and I will be separated for 45 hours, the longest stretch apart in about 8 months. The walking streak and videos will remain unbroken with MikeyBets in town. Originally, Frank was going to come with me but shit got too crazy: ◦Tomorrow morning, we film #FrankWalks with Don Mattingly before I head to the airport ◦Friday: MikeyBets and Frank drive to Virginia while I’m at wedding ◦Saturday: reunite with the crew post-vacation (including Ben Klein) in Virginia for a #FrankWalks with a NASCAR legend ◦Sunday: watch race and then drive home through night ◦Monday morning: we film #FrankWalks with Boomer Esiason in Manhattan / Barstool Basketball Game at 8:30 ◦Tuesday-Friday: We head to Chicago where we will film another #FrankWalks with a VERY special guest and other awesome content ◦Wednesday: Allan Houston episode drops ◦Sunday (4/14): Walk 200 with the FDNY & NYPD outside of Citi Field before Dwight Gooden day - all are welcome!!! We will try to fundraise as much as possible for the Widows and Children’s Fund, Friends for Firefighters, G2H Foundation, and FDNY Fire Family Transport. It will be an HONOR to walk with these legends before their 50th annual Heroes Hockey game on 4/20 which we will also attend And then things get crazier … Did I mention Frank Walks? Today, we had a productive NYC HQ day and hit walk 189 in Moynihan Train Hall. Crazy how quick the jump from 100 to 200 feels. As I was filming the walking video, I noticed Charles Barkley standing with a crew of people. We casually walked up, introduced ourselves, explained #FrankWalks, and Charles couldn’t have been nicer. His brief interaction with Frank was priceless and he gave us his assistant’s email to HOPEFULLY set up a #FrankWalks with Sir Charles in the coming months. It is obvious the chemistry is there without even trying. #FrankChuckWalk (let’s make it happen) @NBAonTNT I also can’t emphasize enough how Charles was nice to every single fan who wanted a picture or handshake. He treats everyone equally. He is authentically a man of the people, just like Frank. I am going to be with my friends (since preschool) for the first time in a year, from tomorrow night to Saturday morning, so please excuse a slight blog sabbatical. I am going to try to briefly renter society. I still don’t have a lamp in my room and could only find the top half of one suit and the bottom half of another. My apartment is just a human charging dock at this point. I also haven’t gotten a haircut in almost 2 years. I am furiously trying to prepare for this trip. Make sure to watch Tank in the Wild, new episode dropped today. MikeyBets made another hilarious ep. I’ll be back writing Saturday. Anudder wild road trip loading.

💻 I just wanted to show how easy it is getting a GPU in the regular way compared to the 🇪🇺 EU's "AI Factory" plan where you have to apply for a proposal Funnily enough Lambda actually shows "Design your AI Factory" on their landing, maybe they're trying to get that juicy EU money too (but I don't think they have servers in EU anyway) So I sign up/login, select what GPU I want, like 8x H100s, which is $24/hour, select the location, add a filesystem and launch the server Then about 5 minutes later, I have a running 8x H100 cluster, with a Jupyter notebook ready with Terminal access and I can see and work with my GPUs! And no Lambda did not ask me if I was mindful of "Individual, and Social and Environmental Well-Being", and I did not need to apply to some proposal, and wait months. They just gave me a GPU to build a business on, within 5 minutes, as it should be! If the EU wants to help AI startups, the infrastructure is already there! Just fund/subsidize GPU rent prices for European citizens and businesses on existing European hosting companies like Hetzner or OVHcloud that already have GPUs (where the process of getting a server is pretty much the same as Lambda btw) For example, a 8x H100 is $24/hour now but with EU's funding could be $12/hour, giving European startups an unfair advantage to compete with the rest of the world for training and inference (generating) Personally I don't think you should mess with the market like that, but this was the EU's intention, so then do it properly! I thought about it in the shower this morning and realized I guess the fundamental problem in the EU is they just don't respect technology or the people making it. And they don't listen to them like they do elsewhere in for example US or China. You have lots of European founders who'd tell you the same I tell you here, but they're never heard by the EU either In the US you have the top tech CEOs and founders at dinner with the president regularly to advise him and it feels more properly run and they actually listen to smart people In China you have essentially technocrats running the country and fair you can disagree with their system (see Jack Ma etc. not great oaky) but they do understand tech as we can see from how fast they progress and deploy it But the EU just never listens to skilled people, it's always design by committee by midwits and the EU is just systemically rekt like that. It's not a meritocracy at all But I'm a European and an eternal optimist, so maybe we can help improve it by telling them how to do it then (like this tweet) See how easy it could be Ursula von der Leyen

I spent $1.5M building our office after raising a seed round. My co-founder thought I was crazy. Here's what changed his mind... 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭: After our seed round, I looked at our team. Mostly immigrants. Working 6-day weeks. Building something incredibly hard. The office wasn't just where they worked. It was becoming their home. So I made a bet, what if we actually designed for that? The requirements I gave our real estate agent: - Shower (for ocean swims between meetings) - as close to the beach as possible, ability to quickly go surfing/kiting etc. - Big enough kitchen for a chef - Room for an actual sauna People thought I was building a vacation house, I thought: I am building a place worth the sacrifice. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: - Found one of SF's best real estate lawyers. Negotiated hard. - Negotiated Tenant Improvements + First year for free - Effective cost: $250k (not $1.5M) Then I was extremely prescriptive with design and construction. No endless back-and-forth. I drew what I wanted. Told them to build it. Cut iteration time by 80%. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭: - Nordic vibes (keeping our European souls) - Industrial kitchen - Sauna room (yes, like our product: - Ocean access - Space that feels like home Conclusions: - This "expensive" decision already paid for itself. - In SF, recruiters charge $100k per engineer. We've closed multiple hires -because candidates walked in and said: "I want to work here." But the real ROI isn't only financial. It's this: - We do Friday AMA as a BBQs on the beach. - People actually use the surfboards. - The team's lifestyle supports the intensity of the work.

I spent $1.5M building our office after raising a seed round. My co-founder thought I was crazy. Here's what changed his mind... 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭: After our seed round, I looked at our team. Mostly immigrants. Working 6-day weeks. Building something incredibly hard. The office wasn't just where they worked. It was becoming their home. So I made a bet, what if we actually designed for that? The requirements I gave our real estate agent: - Shower (for ocean swims between meetings) - as close to the beach as possible, ability to quickly go surfing/kiting etc. - Big enough kitchen for a chef - Room for an actual sauna People thought I was building a vacation house, I thought: I am building a place worth the sacrifice. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: - Found one of SF's best real estate lawyers. Negotiated hard. - Negotiated Tenant Improvements + First year for free - Effective cost: $250k (not $1.5M) Then I was extremely prescriptive with design and construction. No endless back-and-forth. I drew what I wanted. Told them to build it. Cut iteration time by 80%. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭: - Nordic vibes (keeping our European souls) - Industrial kitchen - Sauna room (yes, like our product: - Ocean access - Space that feels like home Conclusions: - This "expensive" decision already paid for itself. - In SF, recruiters charge $100k per engineer. We've closed multiple hires -because candidates walked in and said: "I want to work here." But the real ROI isn't only financial. It's this: - We do Friday AMA as a BBQs on the beach. - People actually use the surfboards. - The team's lifestyle supports the intensity of the work.

Marc Andreessen on what made Steve Jobs great “There’s basically two stories about Steve you hear. One is that he was a saint and perfect in all regards, which was somewhat true. The other story that you hear is he was a screaming lunatic and would just run around, yell at people in elevators, fire people in meetings, and all these awful, horrible things… I think the reality was somewhere in the middle.” Marc continues: “At least what I saw — and what I’ve heard from people who worked with him for a very long time — was he was absolutely intolerant of anything less than first class work. If you brought him first class work, and you were top in your field, super diligent, on top of everything, had all the details figured out, and knew what you were doing, he was the best manager you were ever going to work with and the best CEO you were ever going to work with. And the thing that comes up from people who worked with him closely was, ‘I did the best work of my life working for him.’ Part of that is because he really appreciated and understood the quality of great work. And the other part was he didn’t tolerate anything less than that, which meant that everybody around you also hit that bar.” People forget though that Steve matured a lot along the way too. He had failures like the Lisa, which came before the Macintosh, and of course, he was fired before coming back to Apple 12 years later. “He learned a lot from the failures,” Marc explains. “And now everyone has forgotten about the failures, but you can read about them on Wikipedia.” Marc believes it was the 12 years he spent building NeXT and Pixar where Steve learned to be a great CEO before coming back to Apple: “People who knew him better than I did said he learned how to be a great CEO, not at Apple, but at NeXT, because he spent 12 years doing it the hard way where he wasn’t being showered with praise. He didn’t have the magic touch. The product fundamentally didn’t take. He had to pivot.” Marc tells a great story of Steve insisting on the NeXT computer being a perfect cube even though it would double the cost. He got his cube, but it was slow, expensive, and completely flopped: “Nobody wanted it. He pivoted the company to software. Nobody wanted the software… Anyway, the point is that was really hard… He had to try to figure out how to optimize it the hard way and retain a team through basically 12 years of failure.” Marc concludes: “People say he had this incredible growth and innovation skillset from Apple phase one. And then he had an incredible management skillset from the sort of wilderness years. And so by the time he came back to Apple in 1997 he at that point a great CEO, but maybe he wouldn’t have ever become the Steve Jobs that we know had he not gone through the hard period.” Video source: a16z speedrun 🧊 (2025)

I cried yesterday. Like real tears. And honestly… my heart still feels heavy this morning 💔 I tried. I really tried. I tried everything I could think of. I applied strategies. I stayed consistent. I showed up every single day. But right now it still feels like everything was for nothing 😔 I have just 8 days left to hit 5M impressions on X and I’m currently at 4.4M. Where am I supposed to get 600k impressions from in 8 days? How else am I supposed to do this? And no, this is not a pity post. I just needed to speak. Maybe pouring my heart out will help me breathe a little. Back story… I finished NYSC last year and got a remote job in December as a Social Media Manager. Salary was ₦100k monthly. I worked in January, February, and March. I was only paid for January. No payment for February. No payment for March. No explanation. No apology. Nothing. My client acted like everything was normal and expected me to keep working. I stopped working in March and used my savings to start investing in myself and this platform. After being on X since 2021, I finally decided to take my account seriously. I subscribed to Premium every month hoping that if I stayed consistent, maybe within a few months I’d finally qualify for monetization and start earning here. At the same time, I became a CapCut template creator. I paid for CapCut Pro every month too. After weeks of consistency, my account got monetized. I made $28. Then due to inconsistency, I lost the monetization again. I also have a monetized Facebook account. I’m trying on TikTok too. I even abandoned my YouTube channels just to focus fully on X because I wanted this to work so badly. While doing all these, I still kept applying for remote jobs every single week. No response till today. I even bought an MTN router and kept subscribing every month just to stay active online and keep posting. Heaven knows I tried. Now look at me… No job. No money. No achievement. And now it looks like I might not even hit the 5M impressions after all this effort. I’m 27 and honestly… I feel tired. Before now, I also tried content creation on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. But my camera quality was poor and my content always looked cringe to me, so I stopped. At this point, I don’t even know anymore. Maybe I’m just one of those people that always gets close to success but never fully reaches it 💔 And once again… this is not a pity post. I just wanted someone to hear me out. If this post finds your timeline, honestly just send me a virtual hug 🫂 Maybe that alone will make me feel a little better today.

I’ve been in Kisumu for the past four days, and let me tell you, this is not the Kisumu you read about in newspapers. This is live politics, sizzling hot and loud enough to wake the fish in Lake Victoria. Everywhere you go, people are saying the same thing: there is no vacuum. The President is their darling. They have embraced him fully, trusting him to steer them through. Where Baba left them, that is exactly where they want to stay. No blind leaders trying to pull them out, they are here to stay, thurwa. Friday hit me like the whole of Kondele had woken up at once shouting, clapping, and dancing before the President even arrived. The crowd…oh, the crowd! Streets jam-packed tighter than a sack of maize in a boda boda trailer, people waving, cheering, energy so thick you could scoop it and sell it for electricity. They had been waiting since 7 a.m., sun blazing like it was trying to compete with their excitement, but not a single grumble just patient eyes, steady smiles, and that quiet determination that made the air itself hum. All morning, the Tutam slogan bounced from street to street, louder than a megaphone on full blast, like a heartbeat you could feel in your chest, keeping everyone awake, hyped, and ready for the President the moment he appeared. And then there was the lorry. Ah, this was no ordinary lorry. It carried a full-blown music system, massive speakers, and the people had one rule: this lorry should not move; it should lead the President’s convoy. From Kondele all the way to the airport, it became the unofficial drum of the parade, blasting beats, slogans, and energy that even the sun seemed to follow. The crowd cheered it like it was another VIP, part of the President’s entourage, dancing along, waving, and making sure nobody forgot its lead role. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any wilder, I swear I saw Raila’s ghost sitting on a street lamp, shaking his head and muttering, “Hii crowd… I never saw it coming!” He looked like he had just realized the baton had passed and maybe a little impressed that the new runner isn’t dropping it. For decades, only Raila could move Nyanza like this. But now, with him gone, the people were curious, who’s the new magnet? Turns out…it’s the President, and he’s pulling everyone like iron to a magnet. As he moved through the streets, the crowd didn’t just watch, they flowed behind him like Lake Victoria after a heavy rain, slow but unstoppable. And the best part? Peaceful, organized, like a river that knows exactly where it’s going. Politics in Nyanza just learned a new dance: follow the one who shows up with real presence. Even the boda bodas stopped to salute him, and the matatus forgot to honk, they were too busy being part of the parade. Now, if anyone thought they could play old tricks on the President…well, they can pack their bags. Nyanza doesn’t move for slogans or empty promises anymore. The people are awake, alert, and laughing at anyone trying to pull stunts. The energy on the streets could light up Kisumu for a week, and still have enough left to shake the next politician who thinks they understand this game. By the time the President left, the streets were quiet but only on the surface. The excitement hung in the air like smoke from a nyama choma fire, a reminder that politics here is alive, unpredictable, and full of surprises. And in Kisumu, the message is crystal clear: show up, be real, and the people will follow
