Very thoughtful of Stripe. Here I was thinking The Singularity would mean a new calendar!

[Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_]

Stripe sent a letter to investors this morning saying they believe The Singularity has begun, and that we passed the threshold on January 1st 2026.

@walterkirn Hang on, let’s track this to the optimal outcome:
- kids get to vote and their vote is weighted disproportionately
- opportunist candidate runs on “free ice cream for everyone” platform
- candidate wins in landslide
- everyone gets free ice cream
- world peace???

@rockstarian Mindhunter wasn’t canceled they just didn’t renew the cast/key crew contracts after season 2. Fincher and co said the show was extremely taxing to make and didn’t want to jump into another season. More Mindhunter still could happen.

Last year I was on a flight out of SAC where this happened. It was a more somber and dignified scene. An old woman in the seat in front of me typed, in hilariously large iMessage text, “Honey, we lost an engine.” She then carefully examined the water landing info card.

@JacobMorley I tore my patellar (60%) in Jan 2024. No surgery, which is preferred option- surgery requires severing the remaining tendon. Took a year to walk normal and another 6 months to get back to a similar fitness. I still can’t run/move laterally. If Tom plays this year it will shock me

[Emerk @EKorum]

@KenIngalls @RK_itsm I tore mine a couple years ago. Even if it is just a partial tear I would be surprised to see him play next year. Nasty injury

[Emerk @EKorum]

@Nate_Tice if he just goes up to get it man

@walterkirn @BCMikeClay scoffed at your reflexive dismissal of “the Epstein files” on ATW months ago, then looked a little closer, read Michael Tracey’s work, etc.

Mind-blowingly fake end to end

We need a new phrase for an inverse conspiracy theory.

@BCMikeClay @walterkirn The only problem is that there isn’t any “evidence” in this series to summarize!

@RichardHanania Never occurred to me till now but the youngest person to be tried as an adult in the United States was a 12 yo in Florida.

@zachpogrob Strava is headed for the facebook social tier

open it once a month and think "huh, did I post that?" "I'm tagged in what?" "Who are these people?"

historic fumble

[Emerk @EKorum]

@zachpogrob Cycling is a hole at the bottom of the ocean

There’s no bottom to the joy or peril it brings, or the details that can leveraged for improvement

[Emerk @EKorum]

Go touch some clouds

[Emerk @EKorum]

@zachpogrob 100 mile, 10,000 elevation gain ride at ~18-20 mph

similar level of effort

[Emerk @EKorum]

@bele_sebastjan @MarcusMilione @zachpogrob does strava have ads? I know they have sponsored content but so do all the individual "fitness creators"

the premium features are the draw to strava, second to social aspect

Aura could paywall a simple, sophisticated set of data features and compete imo

[Emerk @EKorum]

Crazy how formative experiences happen. You just do/say something stupid then bang it's in your brain forever.

[Emerk @EKorum]

@MarcusMilione @zachpogrob If he ships in depth data features I could see it. Social is cool but it’s not why I ride my bike every day.

Maybe he could do this pretty easily for cycling by adding a Sauce integration — outsource the data analysis. Crazy that no one has yet

[Emerk @EKorum]

@zachpogrob It basically does nothing. Every feature they ship sucks (AI insights, 3D maps) and they made the free version borderline unusable. Leaderboards and the social aspect are a big enough draw for me to stay on, but that’s it. Everything they do makes me want to use the app less
