David Kelly of @JPMorganAM: "The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine."

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

I put the Curb Your Enthusiasm music to the stock market falling in real time as Trump announces his tariffs. My masterpiece lmao

I’ve been an amazing procrastinator for 10+ years.

And I’ve tried just about everything to be less distractible & more focused.

Website disabler.
Dumb phone.
Todo list.
Wife given passcode.
Timeblocking.
Pomodoro.

None of it worked.

But in the last week I found my crystal key.

I shit you not my procrastination is down >90%.

I started doing virtual coworking through a site called @focusmate.

1) I pick a 30-75 min block for deep work
2) Focusmate pairs me with a buddy
3) The block starts, we both show up on video, state our goals, and get to work. Cameras stay on, mics muted.
4) While working we can type in the chat as we complete tasks
5) At the end of the block we share how it went and what we accomplished

To some, this may sound crazy.

But it works…mainly because of this concept called body-doubling…

This idea that by having a friend or partner who works simultaneously, either IRL or virtually, productivity goes up.

Lots of theories for why it works (dopamine, mirror neurons, Hawthorne effect, etc), but all I can say is it just does.

Plus, meeting people from all over the world working on interesting things has been an cool added benefit.

P.S. I’m not paid by/affiliated with the company. I just want more people to have a holy shit moment like I did.

@DevMachette_ Good move. So hard to take marketing (particularly marking on social media) seriously during a time like this.

Side note: unfortunate placement of your (well stated) message on my timeline…

[Popptimus Prime @RFPIII]

the speed..at this distance. Insane!

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

Kelvin Kiptum set a new world record marathon time today at 2:00:35.

That’s a 4:36/mile pace…for 26.2 miles — and he beat Eliud Kipchoge’s previous record by 34 seconds.

He is only 23 years old!

That’s one of the greatest athletic achievements ever.

People who can't believe this could be a deliberate move from a communications team don't realize the calculations that take place in high-level PR.

Taylor Swift attended the Jets game as a strategic SEO play to bury her jet emissions stories. 🤯

Genius.

It's 2023. Time to stop saying "with a b!" after you say "a billion" when talking about a sum of money. 🙏

i can’t find who to give credit to for this but i love everything about it:

So much for "nobody wants to work anymore": 80.7% of prime-age (25-54) Americans were working in March, the highest rate since May 2001.

[Popptimus Prime @RFPIII]

In the social media era, there's always some little thing that is unrelated, silly and completely unpredictable -- that becomes part of, or even takes over, a story. PR people lose sleep over these things. In this case, dude not holding the door.

[KristinDeLuciaMorgan @kmorgan76]

My favorite part is how the officer didn’t even hold the door. He was like “F* this guy” 😂😂😂 #TrumpArraignment

When you zoom out and view collective consciousness like this, you realize:

1. How mimetic we are

2. How quickly we forget heated talking points
