Today, we're announcing Alif ١. It's a 5-week program to fast-track the most talented Muslim founders across the world into Silicon Valley. There was a lot to learn from Batch 0 — we really were building the plane as we were flying it. But as we made our way... to Demo Day, it quickly became clear what made Alif special: It was the people. It was throwing a bunch of founders into an office together and watching them build relationships that would last a lifetime. It was watching them celebrate each others' wins as if it was their own. It was sitting in the room as they pitched to best VC's in the industry, while some of them had previously never even spoken to one. That's why, for this next program, we're doubling down on the people. Because it's hard enough to build something great. But to build something great alone? That feels impossible. So if you're a Muslim founder working on a big idea, we want to be your first believer. Alif ١ will kick off on December 1st. Applications are now open: Alif Bismillahshow more

That's a wrap on Alif Summit. We set out ~2 months ago with one goal: to bring the brightest Muslim builders from across the world under one roof. And we did it to prove a point — that as a community, it's time to raise the bar of what we think we're capable of. To move beyond trying to build the best "Muslim" version of anything, and shoot directly for building the best. And this weekend, it felt like we made real progress towards that. Alhamdulilah. Ty to everyone who came by.

Peter Thiel on why members of the PayPal Mafia are so successful: “The big lesson people had coming out of PayPal was: you could build a great business, and it was neither easy nor impossible—it’s hard.” “The lesson people mostly learned in the 90s… if you were at a fantastically successful company like Microsoft or Google, you’d infer that starting a business is easier than it is, and you’ll learn a lot of wrong things.” “If you were at a company that failed, you’ll tend to learn the lesson that it was impossible.” “We weren’t as successful as some great successes in Silicon Valley, but people learned the best lesson: it’s hard, but doable.”

You have no idea how many times we’ve heard from someone “Millennium was my first concert!” It’s hard to say this on behalf of ourselves, but it seems like this album defined a generation in some ways. Watching the way you showed up then, we knew you’d show up now. There was no doubt in our minds that if we made this, you would come. Not only was that time back in ‘99 special for each of you, but it was special for the five of us as well. It was arguably some of the best times of our lives. It was the moment we knew that the dream we had wanted for so long was becoming a reality. Everything we had worked for was coming into clear vision. People really seemed to like what we were doing, and the Backstreet Boys became a household name. It was hard to leave the houses and it was even harder to leave our families but just as we did it then we are doing it now and it’s all for you. Millennium 2.0 is here and it’s officially yours. Text that person who once told you that you’d get over it and let them know it was never a phase. The Backstreet Pride is still alive, baby!! 🩵 AJ, Brian, Howie, Nick and Kevin

Being a MUSLIM FOUNDER is always misinterpreted. From the inside, we think we should be building for our community. From the outside, people think that's all we're capable of. But the most interesting Muslim founders aren't necessarily building for Muslims. They're building for the world, from a foundation that happens to be Muslim. Is that a lack of exposure, a limitation of ambition, or something we were never told was possible? Comment "BUILD" if you want resources on this topic.

One of the most astonishing attempts at projecting grandiose delusions I’ve ever seen—“so [Obama] tried to bribe them to make a deal… 1.7 billion in cash was put on a Boeing…” Trump bribed Iran with $324 billion. And got nothing for it. “And the main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agreed to that with strong policing powers, and they won't have nuclear weapons, which is what I was all about, because they probably would have used it if they had it. So we had two big moments when they terminated the JCPOA, that was the Obama deal, the Barrack Hussein Obama deal, and when I terminated that, it was very important because it was a road to a nuclear weapon. It was a horrible deal for the United States. It was a deal where billions of dollars was given to Iran. It was a deal where 1.7 billion in cash was put on a Boeing 7, well, not a 7, 7, 57, I guess, right? But it was put on a big, beautiful Boeing 757. They needed a Boeing 747 to be honest with you, because it was a lot of cash. 1.7 billion was taken out of the banks and given to Iran, and on top of that, tens of billions of dollars was made. So they tried to bribe them to make a deal that didn't work. It never works. And that we lived on a great job, and hopefully it's going to be a good relationship, and we're going to get along. And if we don't, we go back to where we started, but I don't know if it's going to be necessary. The Iran deal that we made is going to bring a lot of success to the world, because the oil was really plugged up there for a while. They would call me on occasion, "See, come on, please. Let's go." The oil prices. But the oil is coming way down.”

Roseanne speaks on the Great Awakening and the Plandemic: "They put us into quarantine that was the best thing that ever happened to this country, although a lot of people lost their jobs, the greatest thing about it was that it broke the routine. That's one way to snap out of mind control. It woke people up to what mattered. And then they got on the internet and started looking for answers. And that's why they call it the Great Awakening. That's what Q was for quarantine. We all got a lot smarter, we all got a lot healthier, we all got a lot closer. It was the best thing that could have happened to us. Because anything that these people at the top try to do to us is going to end up working for our benefit as long as we reclaim our humanity and our love and our connection for each other. They can't hurt us."

#정원 TRANS | 250809 🐈 : 'Fate Plus' really seemed like the kind of concert that ENGENEs would absolutely love. For us, it was so tough that we felt like we were going to die. Even though we moved around a lot, what made it really hard was the setlist itself, it was just brutal. But even so, from the ENGENEs’ perspective, if you just look at it as one final product, we think people probably thought, “Wow, that was great.” But at the time, it was seriously… like, we were even afraid to put on our opening outfits. Because we knew how tough that set was. It was more like, “Okay, let’s try our best to get through this today.” That was kind of the vibe. #ENHYPEN_JUNGWON #JUNGWON #정원 #엔하이픈_정원 ENHYPEN ENHYPEN OFFICIAL

Evan Spiegel on the lesson that killed his first startup and led to Snapchat: "We focused on building the perfect product for way too long before we got feedback. We worked for like eighteen months to build this perfect full-featured product, which was in direct contravention to how I was always taught to build things. Build a prototype, build an MVP, get it in front of people, learn as quickly as possible. But we had spent all this time building this perfect piece of software and we hadn't thought enough about distribution. While we built this great piece of software, our competitor at the time, Naviance, had secured distribution through all the different college counselors. What piece of software are you going to choose to help your kid get into college? The one recommended by the college counselors or the one from two kids at Stanford? I think it's a pretty easy choice. So we saw very early that we had no distribution advantage. Even if we loved our software, people weren't going to use it because we didn't have a scalable way to get it in people's hands. Around that time when we saw the emergence of the App Store on iPhone, it was very clear that was a distribution channel we could really use and benefit from. But we also needed to build things we could build quickly, things we really were going to use together with our friends so we could be the first early customers. Ultimately Peekaboo and Snapchat represented that." This is exactly the asymmetry Peter Thiel describes in Zero to One: superior distribution by itself can create a monopoly, even with no product differentiation. The converse is not true. Thiel puts an even finer point on it: most businesses get zero distribution channels to work. Poor sales rather than bad product is the most common cause of failure. If you can get just one distribution channel to work, you have a great business. Estée Lauder said: it's not enough to have the most wonderful product in the world. You must be able to sell it. Many founders over-index on product perfection and under-invest in distribution. The world is full of great products nobody knows about, and mediocre products with massive distribution that dominate markets. Evan Spiegel lived it. He built the better product, watched it lose, and then built something he could actually distribute.

President Trump to WHCA president/CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang Jiang: “We'll do a couple, and then we go to the chief – Madam Chairman, I just want to say you did a fantastic job. What a beautiful evening. And we're going to reschedule. [APPLAUSE] And after that, it's very tough for her to ask a killer question. Right. But you have done a fantastic job. Please. Jiang: “Mr. President, I appreciate it. As you mentioned, it all happened so quickly and I wonder, especially because unfortunately you have experience with these sorts of threats in that moment when you realize there was a threat and Service agents were telling us to get down. Can you describe what was going through your mind, how you were feeling in that moment? Trump: “It's a very good question, actually. It was -- it's always shocking when something like this happens. It happened to me a little bit and that never changes. The fact we're sitting right next to each other, the First Lady on my right, and I heard a noise and sort of thought it was a tray. I thought it was a tray going down. I've heard that many times, and it was pretty loud noise, and it was from quite far away. He hadn't breached the area at all. They really got him, but – so it was quite far away. But it was a gun. And some people really understood that pretty quickly. Other people didn't. I was watching to see what was happening. Probably should have gone down even faster. Melania was very cognizant, I think, of what happened. I think she knew immediately what happened. She was saying, that's a bad noise. And, we were whisked away along with other people, but we were really whisked away. And again, the performance of the secret service and the police, all of the law enforcement, I thought was really good. So, it was very quick. There wasn't a lot of time to be thinking, because it was a matter of seconds before we were out the door and gone into an area we very much. And you wanted to too – you very much wanted to continue it because I don't like to let these sick people, these thugs, these horrible, horrible people change the fabric of our life, change the course of what we do. So, we held out. You were there. We held out right till the end. But they didn't want to take a chance. And I understand it was protocol, but we're going to be doing one hopefully within the next 30 days or sooner. And I am ready, willing and able. And I was all set to really rip it. And I said to my people, this would be the most inappropriate speech ever made if I said – so I'll have to save it. I don't know if I can ever be as rough as I was going to be tonight. I think I'm going to be probably very nice. I'll be very boring the next time, but we're going to have a great event. And you did a fantastic job. Thank you very much.”

You know, the only reason they created that IG account was… For us. It was never about fame or money. It was their way of reaching out when everything around them was falling apart. A place where they tried to share small moments of happiness, excitement, love, and peace with us, even when they barely had any left for themselves. They made it because they were worried. Because they knew we were worried. Because they didn’t want the people who cared about them to sit there wondering if they were okay. And honestly, it was during that time that we saw them in a way we never had before. Real, unfiltered, not dressed up by a company, not edited, not scripted. Just them. That little page carried so much, didn’t it? They taught us so many things without ever needing to put on a show. Through every live and every small update, they showed us what real courage looks like, what honesty feels like, and how powerful someone can be even when everything around them is pushing back. But it was also a place that held their fear, their stress, their sleepless nights, and the weight of knowing the whole world was watching and anything they said could be twisted in an instant. It was a happy place. But never an easy one. We went through so much during that period. From the excitement of seeing them as NJZ to the shock of their injunction being enforced. So many times we thought we saw the light at the end of the tunnel, only for it to turn out to be a fire blocking the path. From excitement to anger, hope to hopelessness, joy to despair, ADHD to depression… everything, all at once. Calling it a roller coaster is an understatement. A lot changed after that. Too much, maybe. But some things never do. And after everything, it doesn’t really matter what comes next anymore. As long as they get to be truly happy, truly safe, and truly loved as human beings who deserved that from the very beginning, that’s enough for us. As long as it’s still Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein. That’s all that matters in the end. 🍀 #NewJeans #Jeanzforfree #NJZ #MhDHH_Friends

Me and my mates caused this: We turned up at their wedding uninvited and started fighting with the guests and they had the cheek to tell us to leave because we were ruining their wedding when it was only a few of us and not everyone. Then they tried to lock the doors. But we held them open while more came in. We didn’t like the music either so we made the DJ to swerve the Motown and play some techno to suit us. It was an all inclusive bar and a free buffet so we stayed to the end even though we didn’t like it there. I just wanted to call the family out and tell you all how intolerant they were to us. I’ve never been made to feel so unwelcome. We had just as much of a right to be there as anyone else. It was a public building. They don’t own it. I’m sure you will all agree that the family were bang out of order. We only ruined their wedding the crying cnts. Horrible people.

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey Tells the Story of Anduril’s First Ever Product: “The Anduril Sentry Tank.

I designed this a long time ago in hopes one day we'd build our own widget platform! But it ended up fading away. We then made it for personal use so we can quickly test things locally without SE. It's all front end for now though, but could be a start! Some parts are still a bit scuffed because it was just for of our own testing purposes, but I'd improve the UI and user experience if we were to make it public one day. We are exploring options on how to even make this possible but we're doing our best to find solutions, even if it's not this 💜

🐱as a team, things are really good right now. seriously, we’ve got such great members. it was either late december or early january. we decided to have a team meeting, and as we talked, we realized we were all thinking the same things. 🐱they were the kind of things that can be really hard to say out loud, but everyone spoke honestly about them, acknowledged them, accepted them, and even brainstormed solutions together. watching that, i thought “even if it takes time, this is definitely a team that’s going to grow”

After Oregon State beat USF in the WCC quarters tonight, Wayne Tinkle turned to multiple areas of the arena and celebrated. Here's the reason why: "The outpouring of support from the last ten days have been unbelievable... It was just a thank you to them for all the great things that they said and to let them know we're not done... There were a lot of emotions when I was by myself, but we had to make sure we made it about the team this week. It's all we've ever done... So why would I make it about me the individual all the sudden? That would be so hypocritical. We've got enough of that in our society."

.Ben Lerer describes how chasing VC money took the joy out of running one of his early businesses: "Our first few years, we were profitable and stayed small. It was amazing. We had a small community of people that were diehard and advertisers who really felt the needle move, and it was wonderful." "What happened was: the space got attention from big VCs. People wanted to get in on the gold rush. A bunch of people raised a bunch of money, and I was one of them. The idea was - you have to grow into those valuations." "They were not fatal mistakes, but they were ultimately the thing that took a lot of the joy out of the business. We got obsessed with figuring out - how do you keep growing and how do you keep doubling year over year." "The way to do it right is to do what you love and stay relatively small and build a real community-based thing."

Jai Lucas on what makes Miami a place that can host a great basketball program "Once I got to meet the people, it was a no brainer. It's the people that make places. We had great people in building this year that made my job easy. I was blessed to have the right people, great support from administration and the fans. They really built a great foundation and its my job to keep it rolling where this time next year we're talking about going to a Sweet 16."

What started as a standard White House announcement quickly turned into one of the most revealing Oval Office moments of the year. Trump was there to declare that Washington, D.C. will host the 2027 NFL Draft. But when reporters started firing off questions, the real fireworks began. First up: immigration. A reporter asked Trump about a new program offering undocumented immigrants $1,000 to self-deport. His answer was blunt—and surprisingly layered. “Yeah, we have millions of people that have come into this country illegally through an administration that didn't know what they were doing. They didn't have a clue. And now we find out officially they didn't, because the president was incompetent. But I could have told you that before.” He explained the idea behind the plan: offer people money to leave—and if they take the offer and prove to be hard-working, they might be allowed back in the right way. “But what we thought we'd do is to self-deport where we're going to pay each one a certain amount of money, and we're going to get him a beautiful flight back to where they came from. And they have a period of time.” “And if they make it, we're going to work with them so that maybe someday, with a little work, they can come back in if they're good people, if they're the kind of people that we want in our company, industrious people that could love our country. And if they're not, they won't. But it will give them a path to becoming, you know, to coming back into the country.” He made it clear that there would be no second chances for those who ignore the opportunity. “So we're going to have, self-deportation, where they deport themselves out of our country, and we'll work with them, and we're going to try. And if if we think they're good, they have, you know, the people we want in our country, they're going to come back into our country. We'll give them a little easier route. But if they don't work and if we take them out after the date, then, they're never coming back.”
