Right now, I'm deep in bootstrapping https://t.co/99UI0s7K05 – a tool to simplify content queuing and scheduling across platforms like IG, YT, and more.
If you're into indie dev, content creation pains, or just the messy journey of building solo, stick around. Let's thread this intro! 1/📷
@ACInvestorBlog@FIFAWorldCup Isn’t this just something they kept from the last World Cup? I think it’s annoying though, totally interrupts the flow of the game.
Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren
She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.
Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.
JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.
The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.
For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.
Warren said no.
She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.
Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.
Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.
510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.
14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.
And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.
Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.
40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.
And the math ain’t mathing.
Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.
That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”
So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?
Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.
Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.
Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”
A win.
14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.
And she’s taking credit.
This is socialism in 2026.
A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.
She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.
She cost you ten times that in real life.
She didn’t protect consumers from anything.
14,000+ will go from working to welfare.
She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.
Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.
She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.
🇺🇸Florida woman straight up monster trucked a $250,000 Lamborghini in a parking lot because she couldn't see over her own lifted hood.
Florida never disappoints😂
@Jake__Wujastyk Disney cruises are the best cruises. You should do a transatlantic. I Never felt so relaxed and the internet was perfect the whole time.
Huh, had Claude code running and instead of stopping when it hit its limit it started running on extra usage.
I haven’t had this happen before it always just stopped when it used up its session. I didn’t realize it was toggled on to let it use extra usage.
@keter_slater I just came to check in on its research progress and found it saying “Now using extra-usage” under the input bar. Burned through about 40 dollars. In the 10 or so minutes I was gone.
OpenClaw has been fun, I’ve had to pivot my use with it a bit now that I can’t use my Max subscription though.
Honestly I think I’m using my Max subscription more now than ever.
Finally having multiple researchers running. I’m building out my knowledge bases to be token efficient.
Does anyone know any good plugins to have OpenClaw be more token efficient?
@levelsio It’s my biggest complaint, you need a CPF to do absolutely anything. I’m not looking to enter my passport number for everything either so I normally just don’t buy it.
Last night I just got done putting my daughter to sleep and was doing some doom scrolling on X when I saw levels post. I liked the voice clone story generation idea so I threw together a quick MVP last night.

Some nice new ideas upvoted by everyone today
With the new AI models + human upvoting and downvoting there might actually be good ideas here for people to build startups from
Possibly...
