Let's get this out of the way up front:
"The Besties All-In Tequila" (TBAIT) is not a fraudulent product. It is a legally compliant, 100% agave Extra Añejo Tequila from a licensed and established distillery in Jalisco, Mexico.
Ok, now that the lawyers are happy... 👇
🚨 do you understand what just happened with the SpaceX IPO..
Fidelity quietly dropped its minimum account requirement from $500,000 to $2,000 - a 99.6% cut that lets millions of small retail investors in days before the biggest stock debut in history.
The catch is who they need to sell to.
- SpaceX reserved up to 30% of the offering for retail, far above the usual single-digit share
- Selling within the first 15 days triggers Fidelity penalties up to a permanent IPO ban
- At a ~$1.675T pre-money valuation this IPO creates more exit value than every VC-backed IPO of the last decade combined
- The xAI side lost $6.4B from operations in 2025, dragging a Starlink-powered company billions into the red
They opened the gates right when the smart money needs someone to sell to. Read the prospectus before you become it.
I just spent two days in London
- temp was delightful
- no one tried to steal my watch or phone
- WiFi and phone were fine
Didn’t see devil wears Prada 2 tho.
In London for a bit
It’s hot as hell and nowhere has AC. I just sat through The Devil Wears Prada in 95 degree indoor heat.
The internet barely works (wifi and cell network both equally bad)
You can’t safely walk around with a watch and half the city has had their phone snatched.
Why do they live like this?
I’m super excited to share that we have signed a contract with @SpaceX@Starlink to integrate its mini laser terminals onto our satellites for high bandwidth, low latency connectivity!
@asanwal If you exclude primary residence there are only around 8m millionaires in the USA. Or ~2.4% of Americans.
I guess Buying a House and Waiting sort of counts as self made.
Michael Bay is developing a movie about the U.S./Iran war.
The film follows the story of the 2 U.S. pilots rescued after their planes were shot down during Operation Epic Fury in Iran.

Many of them didn't. Your great-great-grandmother was probably drinking opium for her nerves, sold at the corner shop as cheap as a pint of beer. It was called laudanum, a mix of opium and alcohol that doctors handed out for anxiety, sleeplessness, and "women's troubles." Mothers fed it to crying babies. The babies often stopped crying because they stopped breathing.
The men drank. By 1830 the average American was putting away almost two bottles of liquor a week. Whiskey cost less than coffee or milk. People started their day with a shot and ended it with another. Toddlers drank from their parents' rum mugs.
ADHD has a long paper trail. A Scottish doctor described kids who couldn't focus in 1798. By 1846 there was a popular German children's book about a boy called Fidgety Philipp who couldn't sit still. In 1902, a London children's doctor named George Still wrote a famous paper on the same kids and called it a "defect of moral control." Same kid, three different centuries.
Depression and anxiety had old names too. Melancholia, hysteria, the vapors. Treatments included bloodletting, ice baths, and chaining people to a wall. By 1937, American mental hospitals held 451,672 patients and took up more than half of every hospital bed in the country. Inside the walls, about 1 in 10 patients died each year.
Then came the lobotomy. Between 1949 and 1952, around 50,000 Americans were strapped to a chair while a doctor hammered an ice pick through the thin bone above their eye and wiggled it around inside their brain. It took about ten minutes. Sixty percent of the patients were women. About 1 in 20 died from the procedure. Many of the ones who lived came out with no personality left. The man who invented the procedure won a Nobel Prize.
Britain's male suicide rate hit 30.3 per 100,000 in 1905. The lowest rates ever recorded in British history are happening right now.
Plenty of our ancestors didn't make it. They drank themselves dead. They overdosed on shop-bought opium. They got locked in asylums and never came out. They had picks driven through their eye sockets. They killed themselves in numbers we don't see today. The conditions were always there. The treatments just used to be worse than the disease.
