Every crisis (and ideally, every win) should ideally result in you becoming more of yourself. Not less. That's always the north star.

“What they want is for their victims to install the mechanisms of repression in their own skulls, every person his own secret policeman.”

Not the way I would have chosen to make it into the pages of the New York Post, but yes - today is the 6th anniversary of Fracture Day.

This article does a good job of outlining this series of escalating betrayals that led up to Fracture Day. It's at least as good as what I might have written as a follow-up to my defining post last year.

I will only add that we need to put Fracture Day in the context of what we know about the mechanisms of totalitarian repression. Totalitarians do not merely crave obedience to force, because that doesn't scale well to controlling an entire society. What they want is for their victims to install the mechanisms of repression in their own skulls, every person his own secret policeman.

The enemies of liberty tried to use COVID and the George Floyd protests to do that to us. Never forget. Never forgive. And never relax your vigilance against another attempt.

Record levels of mass migration opened up record violent crime, tribal rape gangs, public transport essentially became no-go zones with brutes & stabbings, this is cultural destruction. Western govts & corporate media frequently downplay or twist this while expanding censorship laws, & want to make social credit-style monitor systems not to create order but to punish dissidents of the corrupt.

Open borders are a destabilization tool. This is an amazingly diabolical tactic to create fear & exploit millions. We don't need a fake or real extraterrestrial or supernatural smoke show to ruin us, we have foreign elements being used to terrorize us NOW. Vote as Right Wing as you can, shun the people you need to shun & protect the people you care about BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL. #RestoreBritain #MAGA #AmericaFirst

Years ago, thinking that Nutella had the same nutritional profile as a peanut butter, I ate a whole jar. Felt terrible afterwards and learned it is not like peanut butter at all. They are not warning us about this.

The #1 rule of life IMO is don’t flinch

Whatever you’re doing you can probably unfuck it if it turns out to be bad. But you can’t ever flinch

The mindset is way more rare than the muscles

We're finally shedding the .so (thank you Somalia!), and using the .com for @NotionHQ. And for this beautiful moment, I want to share a fun story:

Back in 2018, I had just joined Notion, and one of the first things @ivan asked me to do was figure out how we could own https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. I had never done a big domain purchase before, so I reached out to a few domain brokers to understand the landscape. We tried different brokers, kept things anonymous, and attempted to surface a price the seller might consider.

A year went by… nothing. Meanwhile, it was pretty clear this was only going to get more expensive as we grew. We needed a different approach. A fellow founder connected me to a broker who took a very different tack. Less transactional, more long-term relationship builder. He spent months getting to know the domain owner. Turns out owner was a fellow entrepreneur in the west coast… and a huge Grateful Dead fan.

So we figured, why not get creative? Something beyond just price. So I called up our investor Ronny Conway and asked if there was any way he could help set up a private meeting between the domain owner and the Grateful Dead. Ronny is one of those people who somehow makes impossible things possible. A week later he calls me back: “New York City. Halloween. 15 minutes after the concert. Done.”

The broker went back to the owner with an offer: some cash, some equity, and a private meeting with the Grateful Dead. That got his attention. He didn’t take the band meeting in the end, but he did lean into the equity (great call, in hindsight). We shook hands, and a few weeks later, the deal was done.

I’ve been waiting years for the day we move our product to https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. Looks like 2026 is finally the year. Safe to say I’m unreasonably excited about this update!

“We’ve sold two.”

Those were devastating words to hear.

That was the answer I got in April when I asked a store manager how many copies of my new games they had sold so far that year.

Two copies total.

Across all six of the new games I’d released.

I tried to sound optimistic on the phone, but after I hung up, I felt embarrassed and defeated. I wallowed in that feeling for the rest of the afternoon and evening.

Then that night, as I lay awake with that all-too-familiar prickle of anxiety crawling across my skin, I decided I needed to do something about it.

The next day, I called the store manager back and pitched an idea.

“Let’s do a sales contest. If your employees can sell 60 games in May, I’ll let each of them buy one of my games at 50% off. If they get to 90, they can buy one at 75% off. And if they hit 120, I’ll give a free game to all 30 of them.”

He loved the idea.

So did his employees.

In the first 10 days, they had sold 12 games.

When I heard the underwhelming result, I fought back the tinge of panic I felt, and then suggested that he teach the employees a couple of the games during their next store meeting. He did.

By the 20th of the month, they had sold just over 30 games. I answered questions, gave encouragement, and continued to hope for the best.

By the end of May, they had reached 85. They were close enough that I offered to extend the contest another 10 days with the same incentives in place.

A few days later, they hit 120.

When I delivered the free games the employees had earned, I was thrilled to see my games displayed in three different spots around the store. The employees were excited about their prizes, and they were still selling more of my games than any of the other 40 stores.

Part way through the month, I learned that the store manager is also a regional manager over a few other locations.

Next month, we’re repeating the same contest in his other stores.

I’m still a long way from success.

But I’m going to sit idle and worry. I'm going to keep pushing forward while hoping for the best.
