Wait wait wait — Trump has been flying to the few campaign events he’s even holding… on JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S plane?!!!

Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Republicans defecting from the Trump Cult are the bravest people in American politics. 🫡🇺🇸

X is a $44 billion propaganda machine. Yet it attempts to disguise itself as a defender of unfettered free speech, a source of factual information, and a substitute for professional journalism.

man, just rename this app to MAGA Social already.

@RampCapitalLLC I hope you are sarcastic, coz there is WAY MORE censorship and shadow banning on twitter now. Especially when it comes to Ukraine war. Everything pro Ukrainian is shamelessly censored by Elmo and Russian propaganda bullshit is amplified relentlessly.

Everybody should double-check if you're still following me because Elon Musk automatically unfollows people from my account in the middle of the night like some kind of Incelf on the Shelf. Also retweet this for visibility

@datadev01 @timoldland I would highly recommend driving anything but the microwave - you are missing on the whole pleasure of driving and choosing moving from A to B instead. At least be aware of your choices.

@brandonhli @Airbnb Stopped using Airbnb since 2016 after a terrible experience in Tokyo . Their support is useless at best. The amount of horror stories I keep seeing keeps me reassured I did the right thing. And airbnb managed to get EVEN worse over the years. Zero trust from my side.

@0xgaut Peter Attia, Outlive. Keep coming back to it and re-reading chapters

This demo is insane.

A student shares their iPad screen with the new ChatGPT + GPT-4o, and the AI speaks with them and helps them learn in *realtime*.

Imagine giving this to every student in the world.

The future is so, so bright.

@julkinen Is it on sale? Can’t find it on Nettiauto

This will go down in history as one of the most idiotic rebranding attempts.

18 useful razors and rules:

1. Bragging Razor - If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim

If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim

2. High Agency Razor - If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

3. The Early-Late Razor - If it's a talking point on Reddit, you might be early. If it's a talking point on LinkedIn, you're definitely late.

4. Luck Razor - If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix. In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

5. Buffett's Law - "The value of every business is 100% subject to government interest rates" - Warren Buffett

6. The 6-Figure Razor - If someone brags about "6 figures" -- assume it's closer to $100K than $900K.

7. Parent Rule - Break down the investments your parents made in you: Time, Love, Energy, and Money.

If they are still alive, aim to hit a positive ROI (or at least break even.)

8. Instagram Razor - When you see a photo of an influencer looking attractive on Instagram -- assume there are 99 worse variations of that photo you haven't seen.

They just picked the best one.

9. Narcissism Razor - If worried about people's opinions, remember they are too busy worrying about other people's opinions of them. 99% of the time you're an extra in someone else's movie

10. Everyday Razor - If you go from doing a task weekly to daily, you achieve 7 years of output in 1 year. If you apply a 1% compound interest each time, you achieve 54 years of output in 1 year.

11. Bezos Razor - If unsure what action to pick, let your 90-year-old self on death bed choose it.

12. Creativity Razor - If struggling to think creatively about a subject, transform it:

• Turn a thought into a written idea.
• A written idea into a drawing.
• A drawing into an equation.
• An equation into a conversation.

In the process of transforming it, you begin to spot new creative connections.

13. The Roman Empire Rule - Historians now recognize the Roman Empire fell in 476 - but it wasn't acknowledged by Roman society until many generations later.

If you wait for the media to inform you, you'll either be wrong or too late.

14. Physics Razor - If it doesn't deny the law of physics, then assume it's possible. Do not confuse society's current lack of knowledge -- with this knowledge being impossible to attain.

E.g. The smartphone seems impossible to someone from the 1800s -- but it was possible, they just had a lack of knowledge.

15. Skinner's Law - If procrastinating, you have 2 ways to solve it:

• Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action
• Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction

16. Network Razor - If you have 2 quality people that would benefit from an intro to one another, always do it.

Networks don't divide as you share them, they multiply.

17. Gell-Mann Razor - Assume every media article contains a % of false information.

Sandbox the article from your worldview until you've:

• Seen primary sources
• Spoken to 3 domain experts

18. Taleb's Surgeon - If presented with two equal candidates for a role, pick the one with the least amount of charisma.

The uncharismatic one has got there despite their lack of charisma. The charismatic one has got there with the aid of their charisma.

Just turned 30 and these are the non-obvious rules that always produced outsized returns when following them -- and outsized downside when neglecting them.

Everyone who works in M&A and business owners who plan to sell - take note of this. This is an insane and ruthless move by Kingswood PE! Looking forward @matt_levine take on this in the coming days :)

[Sujeet Indap @sindap]

I have written many articles over the years about crazy private equity machinations. Today’s installment, however, might be the craziest:

[Dim M. Genin @DimGenin]

@711_Joseph @tito @sindap There was nothing missing at the DD level, everything was disclosed and agreed on, this is a pure legal technicality blatant abuse. Quite insane what Kingswood decided to pull off.

[Tim Oldland @Timoldland]

Have to say, Toyota are absolutely killing it these days. New 4Runner looks ace, Landcruiser is cool af, new Prius may be one of the best looking family cars on sale today and the GR86 is the perfect small sports car. 👏
