Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

We’ve made magic once again! Marc Forster directed me to my historic Oscar win and now over 20 years later (in his gorgeous homeland) our Swiss tourism commercial has hit over 100M views on YouTube, making it the most successful one ever! Switzerland truly is one of the most magical places on earth! 🌎🇨🇭

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

@alexisohanian thx for sharing. Alex. super wild and heart felt application of AI video.

[Alexis Ohanian 🗽 @alexisohanian]

Damn, I wasn't ready for how this would feel. We didn't have a camcorder, so there's no video of me with my mom. I dropped one of my favorite photos of us in midjourney as 'starting frame for an AI video' and wow... This is how she hugged me. I've rewatched it 50 times.

Everytime I get mad at my sports team for losing, I remind myself of what Giannis said. Arguably my favorite response to a reporter ever.

19 powerful sentences by Carl Jung that will change how you view the world:

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

Jon Stewart, as always, sums it up beautifully.

[Dylan Jardon 🌈 @DylanJardon]

"Perfection is impossible.

In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.

But what percentage of points did I win?

54%

In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.

When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.

You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'

Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.

Here's why I'm telling you this.

When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.

But when it's behind you, it's behind you.

This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

Brilliant move for @OpenAI and for my friend @kevinweil

[Kevin Weil 🇺🇸 @kevinweil]

I’m super excited to announce that I’m joining @OpenAI as Chief Product Officer!

My entire career has been about working on big missions: connecting people and ideas at @Instagram and @Twitter, digitizing financial services at Libra/Novi, or most recently at @Planet, using space to advance global security, sustainability, and transparency.

OpenAI’s mission to build AGI to benefit all of humanity is perhaps the most important and transformative of them all.
