Just a quick reminder that they arrested this guy for paddleboarding alone in the ocean during Covid while Anthony Fauci had dinner with Jake Tapper and his wife in DC and Gavin Newsome hosted a party with friends in California.

All of Leopolds's positions ripping.

Looks like he got Billy Axelrod'ed

[MichaelRapaport @MichaelRapaport]

This guy is a fantastic lying politician.
He had literally nothing to do with this. City Council passed the bill last August and 419
Eric Adams never signed it. 30 days the bill became law. It went into effect when Mamdani was in office. He just taking the credit.

Reminds me of the Travis Kalanick Wii Tennis story:

[Chris K. @chriskh]

Shocking [to nobody]. People with NFT in their handle (and a MAYC PFP, big lol) have no idea how an MCP server works.

[NFT_Dreww.eth @nft_dreww]

Did you really just sell your ChatGPT/Claude data for $20?... 🫣

H/T to @CrypSaf for outlining the steps to revoke PayBox from MoonPay if you no longer plan to use it...

Good marketing campaign, but y’all are literally giving them all your data for $20–$500... If you don’t plan on using it anymore, follow the steps below to revoke ALL access!!

The only way to get all data deleted after revoking access is to email MoonPay and request it...

This is a great example of flash money in front of users, users give data away for peanuts, yet users complain about KYC lol

[Chris K. @chriskh]

It's insane if you look back at why @travisk got "cancelled," it's because he got "caught on camera" telling an Uber driver to take responsibility for his life's outcomes. The media did him dirty, and the Uber board stupidly succumbed to the pressure and pushed him out. Honestly, total bullshit. I'm surprised he waited this long to come back with his next major project. He's someone I'd never, ever bet against.

[Jon Wu @jonwu_]

Travis is an apex predator put on ice in 2017 and only recently reactivated from cryogenic slumber.

Standards for male behavior have moved so far that he's actively perplexed by it.

Our current ecology was last home to performative frat bros nearly a decade ago.

So when Travis tells TBPN he jet skis to work, and Jordi + John ask whether he does his best thinking on the jet ski, he pauses.

You can visibly see him get confused, with an expression like "What the fuck are you guys talking about?"

Then he quite literally voices his frustration: "No guys...it's a fucking notch on the belt. Who else do you know who jet skis to work? Nobody. I'm the guy."

Even the literal technology brothers are incapable of fathoming a man who does things just for the bit.

Travis in 2026 is like the T-rex from Jurassic Park 2 who finds himself in modern day San Diego being like, yo, what the FUCK is this place?

And then just stomps everything in sight.

Difference between Republicans and Democrats in a nutshell.

Republicans : "Trump is being such an idiot today. Wish he'd stop with this Iran BS."

Democrats : "OMG ZO ZO, YOU DOXXED MY PARENTS 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT IN BUSHWICK, BUT YOU DO YOU FAM, SLAYYYYY"

[John Fadule @fadule_]

Times you’re allowed to cry as a man:

-when your dog dies
-the ending of Field Of Dreams
-when Matthew McConaughey sees the videos of his kids in Interstellar
-hearing Someone Like You by Adele in November
-when your friend’s bride reads her vows and they’re amazing and you realize no one will ever love you as much and it’s 100% your fault
-boarding a flight home from a weekend with friends you don’t see enough wishing you could go back to the phase of your life where you saw them every day
-when you walk into your friend’s Christmas party and his dad says “Get over here big guy!” and gives you a hug
-listening to How To Save A Life by The Fray on Sunday at 9PM

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

"A car" did it, NYT? Was it self-driving? Autonomous?

[Chris K. @chriskh]

I follow many people my age who are married, no kids, no cars, dual income, splitting rent on a 1 BR apartment, who think it's cool to flex tickets to an "exclusive" event, biz class to Europe, or a 5-figure watch. Of course you can afford that. Nobody's impressed lol

[Horse @TheFlowHorse]

This kid made like 50m from solana:6p6xgHyF7AeE6TZkSmFsko444wqoP15icUSqi2jfGiPN token, but the classic car + watch + luxury spot photo drop had me thinking how people massively underestimate how cheap it is to look wealthy when you’re only responsible for yourself and you have made some money. Especially on socials.

Wait until you need to multiply your consumption by a spouse and kids.

A 28-year-old with a Rolex and a 911?

Cool.

A dad of three with a Rolex, can get the 911 after the family cars, family vacations, while sorting college funds and activities!?

That’s some shit.

[Brian Lui @brianluidog]

I like to make fun of the techies, but finance bros also have their shortcomings. Like the ideal life for a finance bro is that they get into a top tier firm, make millions by their thirties, marry a hot wife and have 2.5 kids in your 4 bedroom New York apartment, and a vacation home for summering, and a studio for your mistress, and then in their 40s you continue to make millions and it settles in that your wife's love is conditional on you providing the lifestyle she's accustomed to, and your kids are already teens and they don't confide in you at all, nor do they confide in your wife, who is now less alluring due to the natural aging process and the unpleasant parts of her personality come to the forefront, and your mistress is a constant source of stress and drama, but at least your life is meaningful since you're in charge of big deals at work. Then in your 50s you realise, no, your life is not meaningful, your work is not meaningful, you don't have friends, you don't have your health, but at least you're successful, you made your high school peers (always the high school peers) envious, and you lived up to your parent's expectations, except no, you misunderstood what they wanted for you, thinking that achieving the goals they set for you could buy you their love.

[Chris K. @chriskh]

@Swiftor Been like this for years (at least Amazon UK). Doesn't even say category. Just says "your item has been delivered," "your order has been cancelled," etc. with a link to the order.

[Chris K. @chriskh]

@rachcorrine And the Harney & Sons a couple blocks from there. Single stall, never anyone there. And probably the cheapest iced beverages in the city (< $5).

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Elon doesn’t have $1T in a bank. His net worth is from the value of his companies, which employ >160K people. He’s minted 1,000s of millionaires. Even Lee & Santino earn $ from X. 160K+ people feed their families cuz of Elon. How many lives have they supported? Brilliant comics, not so brilliant with economics.

[S★ @xxyllinn]

I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.

[Chris K. @chriskh]

This reeks of ‘I don’t care if NFTs go up or down, I’m just in it for the art !’ Anyone remember those posts ? LOL

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Regarding the recent buzz around my profile picture changes and some feelings that the Base community isn’t being supported enough: I appreciate the feedback (even if tough to hear) and I realize you wouldn't take the time to respond unless you cared.

It seems I wasn't clear enough setting expectations for all of you, so let me try and do that now: please don’t follow my personal X account for investment advice or signals around individual coins. I’m simply posting things I find interesting or funny on the internet. I may not even be aware if there is a coin or project attached to the content I'm posting (you should assume I'm not, to be safe). My posts and profile pics are also not endorsements or commitments to anything.

Base is our shot at building foundational infrastructure for financial services where we can all innovate together. That includes tokenized stocks, borrow/lend protocols, stablecoin payments, etc and yes even meme coin trading. I believe in economic freedom, and support you trading whatever you want. Just realize that if you're treating my X account as alpha, you are doing so at your own risk, against my wishes. I would never recommend this.

On the topic of “support” from the Base team or Coinbase, there seems to be confusion around this too. There are many tokens we would like to list on our centralized exchange, but can't for compliance and regulatory reasons. If you want Jesse or me to pump your bags or shill certain coins, we're also not going to do that.

Here is what we are committed to on support: we run in-person Base Batches and issue grants to high potential builders, Coinbase Ventures and the Base Ecosystem Fund also invest in the most promising companies building on Base, and we periodically integrate promising Base defi protocols into our products at Coinbase which enhances distribution. I might even mention something on X if I think it's interesting, but again, this is not investment advice. In general, we bias toward supporting projects that we believe will create long term customer value.

You may like this approach or you may not, but either way hopefully it creates clarity going forward, so you can decide what you want to do. I respect your choice, either way.

P.S. I still might post memes if I think they are funny! It's still not investment advice.
