This is something I wrestle with when trying to bridge entrepreneurial programming with high education environments:

I've been able to hold it together fairly well with spending most of my bitcoin on my last startup back in the day. But getting these Robinhood notifications regularly reminding me it's over $100k is getting harder to cope with.

Shipping is broken. UPS charging 50% of the price of shipping for a fuel surcharge!? Amazon has ruined me buying/selling anywhere else.

Shout out to Guitar Center's email marketing crew who give you the option of not just type of marketing you're open to receiving, but the frequency (including monthly or just holidays). This is the way.

I really dislike Google trying to tell me that I need to pay more for their service because they're giving me free access to their AI. I don't want it, I didn't ask for it, and I'd prefer to opt-in (or at LEAST have an opt-out). I guess someone has to pay for it...🤦‍♂️

I received this email and I'm ticked, my wife is pissed. Yeah, thanks for the 'discount' for buying all new thermostats, but why would we stick with Google when they'll probably do the same thing again in 8 years. Home infrastructure is not consumer tech. We own things for decades, not years, right?

I'm working with a #volunteer group to help restore a local volleyball court in North Canaan, CT. We've raised a lot of support and we're almost there, can you help us push us past our goal? We have less than $2k to go! Here's the link to donate (for group 1): shorturl.at/KOjvb

I legit thought this was AI.

Whenever I see stuff like this, the first thing I always think of is that movie where the wealthy people that knew about a planet-ending asteroid were quitting their jobs so they could spend more time with their family before the end.

I just read a huge thread of people all saying that autism is not a bad thing (or actually a good thing) so there's no need to try and fix it and I'm thoroughly confused. Can crazy hate for a political team get folks to genuinely lie to their eyes? Oh, right, I remember...

I feel bad for a lot of politicians. It seems like it's an acting gig for many of them, but they don't have SAG-AFTRA fighting for them to have breaks where they can be normal. 🥂 to the real ones who don't get tired because they're not actually performing.

I think we can all agree that we like the law when it works & we don't like the law when it doesn't work. Rico charges are great when we think they're working, but terrible if we think they're being used to target political opponents. In this case, the 'informant' being correct is the lynchpin.

I played The Oregon Trail for the first time last night. It was fun!

We live in the future: I'm taking a quick social media break while my friendly AI is putting together marketing messages for 3 social platforms for me for an upcoming event. Shouldn't take long, then back to work :)

Ooh Williams is mad. Look at those brows.

Lol. Same energy:

I wish bsky's algo wasn't so hardcore. I liked maybe 2 telescope pics of the moon, please stop showing me pictures of the moon every 5 posts now! 😂

I'm no fan of MTG, but anyone who buys stock knows you buy the dip.

Ah, the golden handcuffs.

A Chinese Daoist maxim from the third century BC: ‘Govern a great empire as you would cook a small fish’ — i.e. don’t keep poking it and stirring it up.
