Hidden Road—the prime-broker Ripple agreed to buy in April—has just been accepted as a full clearing member of the DTCC’s Fixed-Income Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Division (FICC-GSD). ‼️ That division nets and settles the U.S. Treasury and repo market 😱

Reminder: class is in session. It's called LIFE. Don’t waste a minute. — from Saint-Tropez, with love

A group of options traders in Gaza joking about how finance influencers on social media are surrounded by Lamborghinis, waterfront mansions, luxury vacations, and six-figure trading accounts, while they’re trading from a rooftop with slow internet, post-war destruction in the background, and accounts so small they celebrate single digit gain. Funny, self-deprecating, and unexpectedly moving. A reminder that resilience isn’t about perfect conditions. It’s about showing up anyway.

i'm obsessed with AI DIY projects. my favorite one right now is this broccoli farmer in hokkaido, japan using Codex to run his 100-hectare farm this guy never studied agriculture, never inherited land, started out as a civil servant. but he wanted his farm to run better, and instead of paying an engineering firm he couldn't afford, he just built the tools himself. here's what he's built on his own: > remote control of his greenhouse vents from a chat app, wired up with an esp32 board, a motor driver, and cloudflare workers > a bot that checks each greenhouse's temperature and opens the vents when it gets too hot > satellite crop-health data laid over a map of his own fields > an airtable base linking his plots, tasks, materials, and sensors > wiring diagrams of his electrical panels, generated from a photo stuff like this used to be locked behind machinery and engineers only the big agribusinesses could pay for. but this legend just breezed past all of it with a laptop and Codex lol

MARC ANDREESSEN: "We had meetings with the Biden admin where they told us to not even start AI companies because there's no way they'll let them succeed." JOE ROGAN: "What do you do after a meeting like that?" MARC ANDREESSEN: "You go endorse Donald Trump." LMAO

An old lady who makes accessories for cats and uses her black cat as the model to sell them—this is one you just can’t help stopping for.
