There's this new energy drink cafe in Nashville called Volta and this what all their marketing materials look like.

Reading in general is a trap. I used to be a huge word addict. 2-3 books a week sometimes. It’s a miracle I’m still able to have an independent thought today. 2 years read free and ive never felt better.

Manhattan does not feel crowded. The cars give it an illusion it's packed. Go take a walk at 9pm and you'll encounter many empty streets.

Rejoice, fellow idea guys. Time to build. (Via @sama)

I’d bet Jesse Michaels - @AlchemyAmerican ends up on Rogan by 2026

Thank you @johnfio_ & Volta for powering my morning Volta rocks A beautiful caffeine experience

It’s really disappointing that suits have become a symbol of punishment in tech. CEOs and founders only don suits when being dragged in front of federal agencies. We need to start wearing black tie in the office so when we go to Capitol Hill it feels like a casual Friday.

The restoration of the Frick Collection is astonishing. Before and after:

Pretty impressed by the guy who invented brushing teeth.

I’m hiring an investor. You’ll be the first hire working with me on the most interesting, complex and asymmetric special situations in tech. You’ll be a good fit if you: - trade annual letters like Pokémon - are high pace and biased to action - are unapologetically money motivated - have created and sold a product - ideological minority at a top 10 school - debated risking it all with an SBA loan - bought a stock before you could drive - work in PE but long for higher MOIC - work in VC but long for higher ROIC - went through YC but yearn to invest - can get a meeting w/ anyone on earth - made money online in high school - value heterodoxy over consensus - value making money over being right Steve Schwarzman defines eights as those who can follow marching orders, nines as those who can execute and strategize and tens as those can sense problems, design solutions, explore new directions and make it rain. Eights and nines need not apply. This role will have an equal focus on sourcing, analysis, execution and operations. In essence, you’ll wear every hat as we build the firm together. It will be all encompassing and demanding, but autonomous and yours to shape. You’ll invest and transact with the best operators and financiers in the world and produce work at an exceptionally high standard. Experience acquiring technology companies, as well as operating them is highly prioritized but not strictly required. This role is open to all levels of seniority and will be made bespoke for the right person. In person in NYC only. email me: jeremy@octavecap.com

I’ll tolerate an Apple Watch, even an Ora ring. But I just can’t accept someone wearing both at the same time.

I destroyed my account and my soul by launching an NFT a few years ago. While I will never be able to forgive myself or repair the damage I caused doing a deal with the devil I will be starting this new account as penance.

More people bought dog strollers than baby strollers in South Korea last year 🤯

enough yapping about which jobs got cooked by AI... the real question is which jobs are safe? prompt-engineer is an obvious one, what else?
