10 years ago, I was engaged & fresh out of college with no job. Married my wife in Vegas for $200 and she said she didn’t care how the wedding was now when we’re coming up, but made me promise her our 10 year anniversary we’d get remarried in Paris.
Today I kept that promise 🫱🏽🫲🏾
I finally stopped caring about my speech impediments about 3-4 years ago, after watching a number of Elon’s speeches. He’s the least eloquent public speaker but that doesn’t stop him from talking in any instance about what he finds important.
“They will ask where venture capital imploded and the signs will have been obvious”
Dez gotta remember he’a a rich celebrity and nearly everyone he interacts with is trying to gaslight him and bait him into lawsuit. Probably doesn’t happen as often to him in Texas as often as it would in like Cali or NY but still
I haven’t seen a tweet about an AI/personal agent in 10 days, that fad died off quicker than anything i ever seen before.
I clicked on one ad on IG and it changed every single ad on FB into that one thing . That means their ad spend has to be astronomical

gas stations realized the real money wasn't in gas. it was in everything sold around it.
payments is having its convenience store moment.
if you're just moving money and charging a fee, you're in trouble.
wrote about why payments companies are dying.
The government is telling us unemployment is lower than ever, but go look at your Linkedin feed for the truth

We're thrilled to announce the Superpower Peptide Library.
Every peptide, mapped to the body.
152 peptides, from approved drugs to compounds still in trials, sorted by where they act.
Each one has its own page, reviewed by a physician and fully cited, covering:
- the evidence and how strong it is
- its FDA status
- it's mechanism of action
- what studies in humans have found
Because not all peptides are equal.
Semaglutide is FDA-approved. BPC-157, maybe the most talked-about peptide for recovery and repair, is not. In a 2025 review of its research, 35 of 36 studies were in animals or the lab.
Know the science before you buy the hype.

One of the best things about working in mobile engineering infrastructure, particularly in the payments industry with @frame_payments, is that I can build experiences for merchants that feel like magic and often only take a few lines of code to implement.
When you’re already worried about 30 other things that need to go right to make your mobile app successful, the last thing you want to do is build a payment flow from scratch.
Merchants often breathe a huge sigh of relief when they ask do have an SDK with pre built components for “xyz” and the answer is a yes, absolutely.

we've blocked 8.3% of gaming and prediction market transactions for geocompliance in the last 30 days.
that's nearly 1 in 12 transactions that might otherwise have been approved by a processor without the same location controls.
in regulated markets, knowing where someone is transacting from matters just as much as knowing who they are.
Im shocked there’s not a startup selling self driving cars with comma preinstalled.
I used to pay for FSD every month for this feature.
My comma four took this left turn straight into a low sun. I'd rather own turns like this than rent them.
I've clocked over 13,000 open-source miles on my Tesla so far. I'm running StarPilot, a fork of @comma_ai's openpilot.
Anyone listen last week? 👀
If I was a degen i’d go all in on June 2027 $TSLA leaps. Its the freest money you’ll ever make

Saw "You Can See Everything" last night. Most people are convinced Holmes is a master manipulator, and maybe she is, but after watching the "Who's on First" scene I wonder if she simply doesn't have much going on upstairs/ lacks common sense. She also seemed to read off a sheet when describing to Nathan Fielder what "the device can do." Shouldn't she know that by heart?
The documentary had me questioning the role of all the various "handlers" in her life as we seem to witness with Billy, but at the same time, I was aware that everyone in the documentary, including the audience, was being manipulated while also playing the role of the manipulator. Very very interesting look at the things humans are capable of.
