Pinterest founder Ben Silbermann: “It can take a really, really long time to build things that are worthwhile.” “In March 2010, we launched Pinterest and were at 3,000 accounts.

too bad Pinterest doesn't care about retaining users. They have an aggressive AI spam bot which suspends users who haven't spammed & they deactivate accounts of artists/creatives who supposedly violate the ill defined community standards rule. Worse, their help desk doesn't help

"An unusal race but I gave it everything I could." ! "Yeah, I think if we had qualified better, we would have been in a better place. So I think it was qualifying that messed things up for us - and that really comes down to operations. We need to do a better job in getting more out of qualifying... If you look at Williams for example, they finished so far up."

If you told a child that decades ago the worlds scientists warned that human existence was is in doubt unless we took emergency action, they wouldn’t believe we hadn’t done so. And yet here we are.

Hollywood has been telling us all along. Things that we are “seeing” now and “hearing” now have already been put before us. Was it to prepare us so we wouldn’t panic or were they laughing in our faces?

Max: “He’s been a great teammate to me. In this picture, without his help in that race that wouldn’t have happened. So I will always be thankful to him for that. He’s always been just really enjoyable, straightforward, honest, and that’s not many times that you will have a teammate that I can tell all these things about. I’ve been very thankful to Checo, also just as a person, not just as a teammate. It’s been really nice to work with.”

#F1 | Lewis Hamilton believes the team is very well equipped to take on the 2026 season: “Just to be in Fiorano, you know, to be at Ferrari, to be here, to know that this is a start of a long journey, but one that I know that it just feels right, I think the team is in the best place it’s been, I think, for the time I’ve been here. And seeing everyone so motivated and driven, I think we’re really on it.” “We’ve got a lot of work to do to really make sure we do all the diligence and we really understand this car and we really have to be quick to react, be very dynamic but I feel like all hands are on deck so I’m sure we can do that.”

“If the IMF crisis hadn’t happened… If I hadn’t lost my job… If the theater hadn’t gone out of business… If any of those gears hadn’t played their part… then perhaps this moment wouldn’t have happened.” Geummyeong was listing a string of unfortunate events… and yet, if those things hadn’t happened, maybe this one beautiful moment in her life with Chungseop wouldn’t have either. These lines healed me in ways I didn’t know I needed. As a shhd with so many what ifs… thank you, jakkanim. WLGYT still feels like a dream, tbh. 🥹🥹

Imagine how much better off Britain could have been if the Tories hadn’t torched roughly £100bn a year in lost growth and revenue — if coward Cameron hadn’t been so scared of Farage and hadn’t called the referendum.

“A really good manager's job is build a really good team and eventually get replaced. You owe it to every single person in your company to make sure the best person is in the right role at any given time. If we were complacent and said, "You're a VP because you've been here 10 years, the person underneath who's been here two years, that is much better, that we're not getting into that VP role, is going to leave. That person is going to leave and start their own business. I don't want to lose the best talent. I want, at any given moment, the best talent in the most important roles. So we always do that trade. And if you don't do that trade it's really depressing because you end up with these really long-tenured people who end up in all these really important seats, but all your fresh blood is churning despite having more upside. You could've given them room to grow.”

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Tesla's Chief Designer Franz on Optimus: "It's going to be huge piece of Tesla, a huge piece in our world, as we look into the future, the ability to take menial tasks and things that you don't necessarily want to do and have them uploaded to somebody, a human, that can do that. We've been designing the robot that really looks at how humans work in the world. This world is designed around humans, and so I think having a robot that can do the things that humans can do can really start to take those menial tasks away and enrich in our lives, make our lives better we get to spend more time doing the things that we love. It's been incredibly fast paced, but the progress is, like, unbelievable in the short amount of time that the team has been working on it, and we've been growing the team and building the project the same time. I think we're breaking ground in this space everyday. The team is really energized and fired out. Elon Musk is incredibly involved in this. It's a great project to be a part of, and seeing where the future is gonna go and how it's going to enrich our lives is super exciting."

💬 What does it mean to go from recording “Danger” in a garage in LA to now having the biggest tour ever? 🐨 We were really in danger at that time, we were just about to collapse. 🐹 But because we experienced that danger back then, when things get tough, we remember what we went through and it doesn’t feel so bad in that moment. 🐹 Isn’t it because of that time and the song that brought us here? 🐹 I think about it in those terms. 🐰 That’s exactly right.
