The pencils are the argument. The inks are the commitment. Lady Midnight is intended to be black and white — so I added ink washes to build the values by hand. More work. Worth it. When a book has to earn space on a shelf next to colour, you... show more

I used Figma Make to build the most delightful link library and book cover configurator ever vibecoded. For the Contra x Figma Makeathon, I decided to build an app to turn my 47 open tabs into a beautiful book. Then I put it on a shelf for the whole internet to browse. It's called Stash For each collection, you have the opportunity to design the best cover ever using the in-app configurator. It has pencils, markers, stamps, graffiti... The entire thing is made in Figma, including stamps, illustrations, and graffiti artworks. I think this is my best public work so far and I hope it lets me leave a mark on the internet.

You are under no obligation to be the person you were five minutes ago. ⏲️ None of us are finished products. We are all works in progress, constantly being shaped by our choices, our habits, the standards we choose to live by, and the environment around us. If you don't like who you are today, or if you aspire to become more tomorrow, you can make that decision right now. Not next week. Not next year. Right now. Identity is not fixed. It is fluid. It isn't something you find, it's something you build. Your identity is just a lagging indicator of your habits. So stop obsessing over who you are and start focusing on what you do. Do the things the person you want to become would do. Make the choices they would make. Carry yourself the way they would carry themselves. Become who you are by acting like who you want to be. via Green Bay Packers DC Jonathan Gannon 🧀

Trump: I see a very luxurious situation taking place… they are trying to open up the basement. When you open up a basement, first of all -- always the basement is the worst space in the building and most expensive space to build. Especially here because you have a water line. They are going down into the water. They have to build what's called a reverse bathtub. The water has to be kept out. It's expensive construction

This is some of my favorite advice from Jamie Dimon on how to build a successful career From his commencement speech to the HBS MBA Class of 2009 "There is already a book on you. That book is already being written. And if I spoke to your teachers, your friends, your parents, I would know whether you are trusted, how hard you work, and whether you are ethical I would know so much about you that you would be shocked. I dont even have to meet you So that book is already growing. You write the book the way you want it to be written. You actually have that choice. Do not let others write it."

If you work hard and play by the rules, you ought to be able to get ahead. But on Kamala Harris's watch, home prices are skyrocketing and mortgage rates are through the roof. When Donald Trump is back in the White House, we're going to make the American Dream affordable again.

"Discipline is the ability to choose for yourself. But if you are free to choose for yourself, you are also free to experience the consequences of your choices. People love to be free to make their own choices, but when the consequences from their choices come, they want freedom from those consequences. It doesn't work like that. Discipline typically gets associated with punishment, compliance with rules, or obedience to authority. And I don't know about you but I don't wake up in the morning wanting to just be an obedient person to whatever an authority tells me to do. I don't wake up in the morning wanting to be compliant with a set of rules. I wake up and I want to produce things. I wake up and I want to be in control of myself. I want to make choices. I want to make decisions. I don't want to wake up and be a robot that just follows what everybody else says to do. If you're going to make choices, then discipline means you're more intentional about your choices and actions. You have a more clear purpose behind them. You have higher standards. You put in more effort. You're more in control of those choices. And you bring more skill to them. Discipline means to be in control and making the decisions on how all those things are happening for you."

Mathieu Kassovitz on why 'La Haine' (1995) would have been horrible had it been in colour instead of Black & White: "Interviewer: Was it essential that it was three kids? Kassovitz: I needed a trio because when you’re with a friend, you have a discussion, and it ends fast because either you agree, or you don’t, but you cannot argue all the time. Three people can disagree all the time because it bounces from one to the other. I wanted one guy that’s the funny one in the middle; the political one that wants to get even with the society; and then the other one who’s trying to hold it in because he knows what real violence is. It was a trick, like the black and white is a trick too – to make it universal, a story that happens everywhere, so you don’t know if it’s Paris or Mexico or Brooklyn: it could be anywhere. Interviewer: How does black and white make it more universal? Kassovitz: When you look at black-and-white footage from the war, it changes when you see that footage put in colour. I did the voiceover for 'Apocalypse', a fantastic documentary series covering wars, for which they colourised all these black-and-white images and rendered them in HD. In colour, all of a sudden the footage becomes very personal – you see your grandfathers there, it’s not just ghosts or an artistic image, it could be today. What black and white does is bring poetry into reality. That’s why when you do a movie about poverty where you don’t have control over the environment and things are supposed to be ugly, it’s very difficult. It costs a lot of money to make it look good. But it doesn’t cost anything to make it look good in black and white. If I showed you 'La Haine' in colour, it’s horrible." (Mathieu Kassovitz's interview with Kaleem Aftab, BFI, 2020)

AOC: Hypocrisy is vulnerability. What we are seeking is a return to a rules-based order that eliminates the hypocrisies — when too often in the West, we’ve looked the other way for inconvenient populations, whether it is: •Kidnapping a foreign head of state. •Threatening our allies by talking about colonizing Greenland. •Looking the other way during a genocide. Hypocrisies are vulnerabilities, and they threaten democracies globally. So I think many of us are here to say: We are here, and we are ready for the next chapter — not to have the world turn toward isolation, but to deepen our partnerships with a greater commitment to integrity and to our values.

The older I get, the more I realize success means very little if you do not have the energy to enjoy it. The wins feel different when you are healthy enough to be present for them. To sit with your family, take care of yourself, move your body, clear your mind, and actually live the life you are working so hard to build. Ambition matters. Hard work matters. But so does rest, peace, and self-care. Your health is what keeps you in the game long enough to enjoy the people, moments, and victories that make it all worth it. #BusinessAdvice #SelfCare #Family

[DAMN] Faith Mangope, who has 'a White fiancée' says the township was never meant to be a place of prosperity😔 White Afrikaner oppressors didn’t build townships for Black people to thrive; but to rest, just enough so you could return the next morning to work in their mines.💔

Wayne Gretzky shares the advice he gives to every young athlete. "The commitment and the work ethic is worth it." "My dad was a big believer that the harder you work as a kid, the more fun you're going to have as an adult. And the more fun you have as a kid, the harder you're going to work as an adult." Read that again. It's one of the truest things ever said about success. Work now, play later. Or play now and work forever. "The commitment and the passion for what you're doing is so worth it at the end of the day. Just believe each and every day - it's really, really worth it." Commitment is a choice. It's choosing long-term growth over short-term comfort. "I wouldn't trade my life in for anything in the world." Outcomes and rewards require sacrifice. The key question is: what price am I willing to pay? (🎥 Be Better Off Show)

Q: The president has promised that after 4 years, if we do not provide you with constant electricity, do not vote for us. Bwala: No, what he (Tinubu) said is a statement of intent that is backed up by a commitment to make it happen. When you have such commitment, the next thing is to put it to work, which is what he has been doing.

🇬🇧What do you think? Argument on a train: A man comments about an Entitled African lady who has her sleeping baby lying across two seats on a packed train while people are standing. The response from the African lady is "F*** off" Did she pay for two seats so the child could sleep? I doubt it. Did she pay at all for the child to travel on the train? I doubt it either. The man has every right to ask the lady to pick up the child so there are seats available for all.

Today, I want to make it clear to everyone that we are moving away from our current description as a “stablecoin app”. We are not building a stablecoin app, we are not building the next big neobank or crypto neobank, it's not a money app, not a crypto exchange, not a global Venmo, not the on-chain Robinhood, or even not a financial app, NO, none of that.
