If you can't afford a European vacation, just buy some Nescafe packets, get a single bed with a cover that's too small and leave your shower door open so that water pools on the bathroom floor, and you can have a lot of the experience

Stepping out

I feel like there's a huge opportunity for a "no algorithm" social media platform

Hunter Biden just went off on the Democratic Party: "Fuck him and everybody around him... George Clooney is not a fucking an actor. He's a brand." "James Carville hasn't won a race in 40 fucking years." "David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama" "The Pod Save America guys were junior fucking speech writers on Barack Obama's Senate staff who have been dining out on the relationship with him making millions." "Anita Dunn has made $40-$50 million off the Democratic Party." "What influence does Jake Tapper have over anything? He has the smallest audience on cable news."

Hot take: Europe is a bunch of third-world countries with better branding. No A/C. No dryers. Ice is a luxury. You’ll sweat through dinner while the waiter ignores you for 2 hours. Say what you want about America, but at least eating out doesn’t feel like hot yoga with bread.

all the best founders are doing this why hiring clippers is probably the most lucrative marketing decision you can do for your company/brand ✂️ cluely/@im_roy_lee hired 700 clippers. they pay per view, not video. guaranteeing that both parties succeed if the videos go viral @notthreadguy has clippers like @Jack55750; no one has time to go through a 3 hour long stream, but everyone wants to watch sfv of his highlights/top moments @LucaNetz + igloo inc also gets this: which is why they're constantly rewarding those who clip with abstract XP and pengu. and why @AbstractChain has a built in clipping feature. the result of clippers is having hundreds of people post and repost content about you/your company across thousands of accounts, generating millions of extra views without you doing it yourself
