Since I spend every day saying the same things over and over I figured I should start writing them down.
I'll be writing about how and why esports is going to reshape society for the better.

I’ve been seeing this photo posted all over the last few days from other accounts so I thought I’d share it again! This is a Falcon 9 rocket transiting our sun, I captured this with a specially modified telescope 😎
Later today I’m capturing the heavy variant of this vehicle 👀
Despite fighting malfunctioning equipment, I captured one of my most surreal videos ever.
That’s the moon crossing in front of the sun. You can see mountains on the lunar limb as it transits the chromosphere.
Captured using a specially modified telescope from Utah in 2023.
"We're about to see the explosion of analog."
@garyvee wants to open a restaurant that makes you check your phone in at the door and seats you at communal tables.
"Extreme AI is creating extreme analog. I think it's a barbell."
"I could not be more interested in physical retail, event-driven businesses, in concerts and venues."
"There are a lot of interesting non-digital realities that are coming as a countermove to the insanity of AI advancements."
"We're literally within a half decade of not believing a single video that's on the internet. In 5 years, if we're having this interview, most of the audience is trying to figure out if we're real or not."
"That is very real, and has substantial counter-opportunities."
"Any real entrepreneur, they're not crying about AI killing them. They're curious about how AI at scale is going to create opportunity for them."
.@tobi on why the right video game is a great way to learn entrepreneurship:
“The good video games are simulations.
They are a world upon itself, and you are a high-agency actor, and you modify things. You perform actions, you make decisions, and then you learn about the consequences of your actions.
When I was in my teens in the 90s, I played StarCraft and I loved it. It was easy to learn, but hard to master, which is a hallmark of everything that’s worth doing.
It taught me there’s no right decision. There’s only context in which decisions turn out to be correct.
It taught me resource management is extremely important.
Managing resources is not just about quantifiables. It’s also teaches you about managing your attention.
I learned a lot about how do you get better?
How do you get more out of every game you play?
How do I get more skill progress units out of the time that I have?
StarCraft might have just been the right teacher for me at that moment, and the student was ready.
It was a perfect little sandbox to explore how to think about when it’s time to build infrastructure, when it’s time to invest in resources, when it’s time to prepare, when it’s time to reveal your hand, when it’s not time to reveal your hand.
I think it was a perfect place to spend time for me in my teenage years, given what I did afterwards.”
Humans just launched into space, on their way to the moon (flyby around it). It'll be farthest humans have ever traveled into deep space 🤯 Congrats to all the incredible engineers & teams involved! LFG!!!!!!!
The coolest orbital animation I've seen of Artemis 2
Just really shows you how far away they're flying today and also how precise they need to be to go to the moon
I was about 11 when I asked my Dad the same and he took the time to sit me down and show me the family balance sheet in excel.
He explained assets, liabilities, and equity. From the on he and I discussed it every year, and I cherish those memories.
I highly recommend transparency and coaching. Likely correlated that I was running my first business less than 2 years later.
@pronounced_kyle As everyone here said, start with Player of Games.
It's not sequential, but the written order definitely best supports comprehension.
"Culture" is the protagonist civilization across the narrative universe.
I envy a first time reader. Enjoy!
Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive.
This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇
Plasma is better in colour! Watch one of our latest #plasma pulses in our ST40 tokamak, filmed using our new high-speed colour camera at an incredible 16,000 frames per second.
Each pulse lasts around a fifth of a second. What you’re seeing is mostly visible light from the plasma’s edge, glowing pink. The core is simply too hot to emit visible light.
In this footage, lithium is dropped into the plasma. As it interacts, it glows red when excited, then turns green as it becomes ionised, losing an electron. From there, it traces the magnetic field lines, revealing the plasma’s path around the tokamak.
Lithium is the focus of our $52 million ST40 upgrade programme, in partnership with @ENERGY and @energygovuk. This builds on pioneering work at @PPPLab and others that has shown that lithium can significantly improve plasma performance.
This video comes from ongoing research into X-point radiator (XPR) regimes, a promising operating mode for future #fusion power plants that aims to cool the plasma before it reaches plasma-facing components (PFCs), helping to reduce wear without compromising performance.
Fusion research just got a lot more colourful!

The video form content on X is getting insanely good, but we really need a better browsing and consumption UI for video/audio. The opportunity to build something novel and value unlocking is immense here. @nikitabier@elonmusk
