Trying to provoke both a world war and a civil war at the same time while demanding a Nobel Peace prize is a level of insanity we’ve never seen ever before.

Ultimate Prompt Library for UI 🔥

I’ve been quietly building something I wish existed when I started designing with AI.

A complete UI design prompt library that helps you master different visual styles: expressive, cinematic, minimal, premium, nostalgic, warm, technical (20+ design styles in total).

Each style includes:
👉 When to use it
👉 Key vocabulary that trigger the style
👉 Copy-paste prompts for real UI work
👉 Pro tips for next-level results

Comment "UI Library" + repost and I'll share the link with you

@danifesto Memory

[Daniel Park @danifesto]

I’ll share a small part of https://t.co/UQ4RFIKUwO

Back in med school, I became obsessed with augmenting memory and dreamed of a Notion or Obsidian that completes itself. Today, we’ve built something close.

My self-awareness is sharper and everything feels connected. I genuinely believe AI does not replace humans. It amplifies us.

Huge respect to our engineers and designers who made this crazy thing real.

Bubbles are the episodic units of my life that the system interprets from my raw data. Clouds are the system’s questions, its hypotheses about who I am.
When I answer a cloud, it becomes a bubble again.

There is so much personal data that I cannot fully demo it. Wish I could. This system understands me more deeply than anyone.

Want to try it? Retweet and comment “memory.”
I’ll DM you an access code to skip the waitlist.

I think there’s a deep reason why our intuition goes against us, and it comes down to legibility: https://t.co/uE0NewrT8j

But once you notice this you can reverse the pattern and make winning bets consistently.

Basically: we love crisp understandable systems and signals. When a founder has crisp plans, when they send constant structured updates, when they text back immediately—we sense legible signs of success.

But successful systems are often very messy and illegible. It turns out many of those people who impress us are overly focused on optics and “creating a sense of order”, but they are weak at the messy work it takes to really build a company.

There are people who are good at measuring the weather (legible), and people who are good at creating hurricanes (often illegible).

We massively bias towards legibility but should go the other way

one of the biggest alpha opportunities in early-stage VC is low charisma founders who don't pitch well, don't tweet, don't podcast, but just execute day in day out.

@henrythe9ths FUNDRAISE

[Henry Shi @henrythe9ths]

I got rejected by 144 investors before raising $150M for my $200M+ rev/year startup.

After 144 rejections, I started questioning our approach.

Were we solving the right problem?

What were we doing wrong?

Why weren’t investors seeing what we were seeing?

Were we the right team to build this?

We tried everything: different pitch angles, new deck structures, and reframing the problem.

Then came the 145th meeting, where we closed our first growth round.

That yes made everything worth it. But getting there took years of mistakes and hard work.

We went through a lot of trial and error just to figure out what resonates with investors.

We tried dozens of approaches to figure out what made investors engage.

Some landed, most didn't. But each iteration taught us something about what builds conviction versus what just sounds good on paper.

And once we cracked that code, our Series C closed faster than expected.

And today, I see so many founders in the exact same position I was in 10 years ago: grinding through rejections, questioning everything, and trying to figure out what works.

So today I want to give you the resource I wish I had back then:

Something that shows you exactly how to structure these conversations and navigate the entire process

(because the fundraising cycle can be a big distraction and take a toll on you as a founder).

So I've partnered with Notion's Startups Team to create the essential fundraising resource that helps you avoid the mistakes that cost me years.

Here's what you are getting:

• The actual decks I used to raise $150M for Super[.]com (Series B, C)

• 50 real examples from funded startups like Eleven Labs and Artisan AI

• A searchable database of 10,000+ investors - angels, VCs, and accelerators you can reach out to immediately (this alone would take months to build manually)

• An AI-powered fundraising agent built into Notion with step-by-step prompts (no separate ChatGPT needed)

Want access?

• Like and share this post

• Comment "FUNDRAISE"

• Follow me so I can DM you the link

I'll send it over ASAP.

P.S.: If you are serious about fundraising (now or in the future), you should grab it right away.

Well said. 👏👏👏

A statement from Ron Howard - I'm reasonably well on the same page - and is offered not only for clarification, but as part of a starting point if we've any hope of expunging the fascistic regime currently in place and finally getting us back on a track of making the U.S. work for the benefit of all of us.
“I'm a liberal, but that doesn't mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let's break it down, shall we? Because quite frankly, I'm getting a little tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for. Spoiler alert: not every liberal is the same, though the majority of liberals I know think along roughly these same lines:
1. I believe a country should take care of its weakest members. A country cannot call itself civilized when its children, disabled, sick, and elderly are neglected. PERIOD.
2. I believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Somehow that's interpreted as "I believe Obamacare is the end-all, be-all." This is not the case. I'm fully aware that the ACA has problems, that a national healthcare system would require everyone to chip in, and that it's impossible to create one that is devoid of flaws, but I have yet to hear an argument against it that makes "let people die because they can't afford healthcare" a better alternative. I believe healthcare should be far cheaper than it is, and that everyone should have access to it. And no, I'm not opposed to paying higher taxes in the name of making that happen.
3. I believe education should be affordable. It doesn't necessarily have to be free (though it works in other countries so I'm mystified as to why it can't work in the US), but at the end of the day, there is no excuse for students graduating college saddled with five- or six-figure debt.
4. I don't believe your money should be taken from you and given to people who don't want to work. I have literally never encountered anyone who believes this. Ever. I just have a massive moral problem with a society where a handful of people can possess the majority of the wealth while there are people literally starving to death, freezing to death, or dying because they can't afford to go to the doctor. Fair wages, lower housing costs, universal healthcare, affordable education, and the wealthy actually paying their share would go a long way toward alleviating this. Somehow believing that makes me a communist.
5. I don't throw around "I'm willing to pay higher taxes" lightly. If I'm suggesting something that involves paying more, well, it's because I'm fine with paying my share as long as it's actually going to something besides lining corporate pockets or bombing other countries while Americans die without healthcare.
6. I believe companies should be required to pay their employees a decent, livable wage. Somehow this is always interpreted as me wanting burger flippers to be able to afford a penthouse apartment and a Mercedes. What it actually means is that no one should have to work three full-time jobs just to keep their head above water. Restaurant servers should not have to rely on tips, multibillion-dollar companies should not have employees on food stamps, workers shouldn't have to work themselves into the ground just to barely make ends meet, and minimum wage should be enough for someone to work 40 hours and live.
7. I am not anti-Christian. I have no desire to stop Christians from being Christians, to close churches, to ban the Bible, to forbid prayer in school, etc. (BTW, prayer in school is NOT illegal; *compulsory* prayer in school is - and should be - illegal). All I ask is that Christians recognize *my* right to live according to *my* beliefs. When I get pissed off that a politician is trying to legislate Scripture into law, I'm not "offended by Christianity" -- I'm offended that you're trying to force me to live by your religion's rules. You know how you get really upset at the thought of Muslims imposing Sharia law on you? That's how I feel about Christians trying to impose biblical law on me. Be a Christian. Do your thing. Just don't force it on me or mine.
8. I don't believe LGBT people should have more rights than you. I just believe they should have the *same* rights as you.
9. I don't believe illegal immigrants should come to America and have the world at their feet, especially since THIS ISN'T WHAT THEY DO (spoiler: undocumented immigrants are ineligible for all those programs they're supposed to be abusing, and if they're "stealing" your job it's because your employer is hiring illegally). I believe there are far more humane ways to handle undocumented immigration than our current practices (i.e., detaining children, splitting up families, ending DACA, etc).
10. I don't believe the government should regulate everything, but since greed is such a driving force in our country, we NEED regulations to prevent cut corners, environmental destruction, tainted food/water, unsafe materials in consumable goods or medical equipment, etc. It's not that I want the government's hands in everything -- I just don't trust people trying to make money to ensure that their products/practices/etc. are actually SAFE. Is the government devoid of shadiness? Of course not. But with those regulations in place, consumers have recourse if they're harmed and companies are liable for medical bills, environmental cleanup, etc. Just kind of seems like common sense when the alternative to government regulation is letting companies bring their bottom line into the equation.
11. I believe our current administration is fascist. Not because I dislike them or because I can’t get over an election, but because I've spent too many years reading and learning about the Third Reich to miss the similarities. Not because any administration I dislike must be Nazis, but because things are actually mirroring authoritarian and fascist regimes of the past.
12. I believe the systemic racism and misogyny in our society is much worse than many people think, and desperately needs to be addressed. Which means those with privilege -- white, straight, male, economic, etc. -- need to start listening, even if you don't like what you're hearing, so we can start dismantling everything that's causing people to be marginalized.
13. I am not interested in coming after your blessed guns, nor is anyone serving in government. What I am interested in is the enforcement of present laws and enacting new, common sense gun regulations. Got another opinion? Put it on your page, not mine.
14. I believe in so-called political correctness. I prefer to think it’s social politeness. If I call you Chuck and you say you prefer to be called Charles I’ll call you Charles. It’s the polite thing to do. Not because everyone is a delicate snowflake, but because as Maya Angelou put it, when we know better, we do better. When someone tells you that a term or phrase is more accurate/less hurtful than the one you're using, you now know better. So why not do better? How does it hurt you to NOT hurt another person?
15. I believe in funding sustainable energy, including offering education to people currently working in coal or oil so they can change jobs. There are too many sustainable options available for us to continue with coal and oil. Sorry, billionaires. Maybe try investing in something else.
16. I believe that women should not be treated as a separate class of human. They should be paid the same as men who do the same work, should have the same rights as men and should be free from abuse. Why on earth shouldn’t they be?
I think that about covers it. Bottom line is that I'm a liberal because I think we should take care of each other. That doesn't mean you should work 80 hours a week so your lazy neighbor can get all your money. It just means I don't believe there is any scenario in which preventable suffering is an acceptable outcome as long as money is saved.”

@VibeMarketer_ MCP

[J.B. @VibeMarketer_]

I built a junior strategist that works 24/7, never sleeps, and scrapes the internet for ad ideas on command.

it’s Claude, powered by Apify’s new MCP integration - and it changed how I do creative research.

now I can run prompts like:

“scrape the latest YouTube comments from this video and tell me the top pain points, objections, and emotional triggers… then give me 3 ad angles based on what you find.”

I use it to:

– pull research from Reddit, YouTube, Amazon, TikTok
– extract real voice-of-customer insight
– generate copy + offers that actually resonate
– spot trends before they pop

if you're still writing copy without scraping the comments section first… ngmi

this is what prompt-native research looks like

want my step-by-step setup guide for turning Claude into an MCP-powered research assistant?

comment “MCP”, follow + repost and I’ll send it over (must be following so I can DM).
