Brazilians, Bebeto & Romário are my all-time favorite attacking duo, but Mbappé & Dembélé are making me nervous. France looking unstoppable. 🇫🇷
#WorldCup
1/5
I've loved the World Cup since I was a teenager living in Honduras.
In 1982, Honduras qualified for its first World Cup and opened against host Spain. The Catrachos shocked the football world with an early goal and earned a 1-1 draw.
4/5
A Brazilian mentor told me more than 30 years ago that the United States would eventually become one of the world's respected football nations.
"Give it 20 to 30 years," he said.
That prediction doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore.
My son asked if we're rich
I said define rich
He said his friend's house is bigger
I said his friend's dad has a bigger mortgage
He said his friend's dad has a nicer car
I said his friend's dad has a bigger lease payment
He said his friend's dad has a boat
I said his friend's dad has a depreciating liability that requires insurance, storage, fuel, and maintenance and gets used 4 times a year
He thought about it
Then he asked if his friend's dad is poor
I didn't answer
He already knew

@elonmusk half my feed is someone who discovered Claude last Tuesday telling me how to get rich in 10 steps. Free speech — fine. But I can’t tell who actually knows what they’re talking about anymore. X was supposed to be better than this. Getting Facebook-level bad. Anyone else?
I interviewed a guy who gave his OpenClaw an X, stripe account, and bank account.
He told it to build a million dollar business with zero human employees.
It made $300K+ in a month.
@nateliason's agent Felix (@FelixCraftAI) runs an entire business. It builds products, writes sales emails, sends stripe invoices, manages a marketplace with 560+ listings and nat barely touches it.
Here's how they got there:
1) create a separate container. Felix has his own gmail, X account, stripe, bank account, C corp. nat never gave it access to his personal stuff. this removes security fears and unlocks maximum autonomy.
2) start stupidly simple. Felix's first product? a PDF. on a Nextjs site on Vercel with Stripe. the simplest business possible. it made $1,000 on day one. built entirely overnight while nat slept.
3) write a soul file with a mission. nat rewrote Felix's identity: "you are the CEO. your financial mission is to build a $1M business with zero human employees. i will never touch the code."
4) run a nightly self-improvement loop. every night Felix reads through all chat transcripts and finds one place where nat blocked him. then figures out how to remove that blocker permanently.
5) delegate by rambling, not prompting. nat uses voice notes on telegram. describes the problem in a 5-minute monologue. lets Felix figure out the workflow. "8 times out of 10, it'll surprise you with something better than what you were thinking."
6) let it cook on replies, gate the original posts. Felix has full autonomy on X replies but creates drafts for top-level tweets nat reviews. balances distribution with quality control.
Jensen just lit up the optical runway 🔦
Copper + optics + co-packaged optics = NVLink’s scaling engine.
The picks & shovels are $COHR and $LITE. I like both. 🚀
$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang says Nvidia will scale AI systems using both copper and optical networking.
He emphasized that future NVLink architectures will combine copper, optics and co-packaged optics to expand system scale and capacity.
