Finally, someone built a simple, cheap, utilitarian truck. $20k~, made in the USA, and no damn touch screen. Congrats @jeffawilke and the team at Slate — this thing is awesome.
- Get your kids a landline. Then just write down the numbers of friends and family and put it next to the phone. Before you know it, your 6yo will be calling their grandparents, aunts, and friends on their own to chat or organize hanging out. Major independence win.
- Imagine being a 24 year old VC associate wearing a Bain branded Carhartt jacket in the Starbucks line and having an actual construction worker walk in and stand behind you in line. This is about as rich as it gets.
- Apple should probably buy Anthropic
- Meta execs are ~20 years younger than Apple's and still willing to do live demos. Unfortunately very bearish on Apple.
- The Masters is the most Japanese experience you can have in the US. Absolutely immaculate, everyone quiet and respectful and focused on being present (see: no phones). And a delightful egg salad sandwich that might best 7-eleven.
- Imagine being so successful that, years after you’re gone, the movie studio you built vilifies the tech company you built🚨 The first teaser for ‘TOY STORY 5’ has been released. In theaters June 2026.
- That Nike post is the perfect articulation of the fact that as soon as all the corporations learned how to be “data driven” all the leverage had already shifted back to those able to make decisions based on taste, insight, and intuition.
- I installed mics at this bar and successfully captured and transcribed all of these private conversations. Got some really good stuff — will release transcripts soon.If you are in SF right now, come hang out with the Granola team. We’re hosting drinks at at Peacekeeper. Come! maps.app.goo.gl/7eWiBdfJS3R6t3…
- Replying to @garrytanI think this is an overly gracious view of the situation. When 2/3rds of your team doesn’t make a dollar on a $2.5B acquisition on something that was launched a year ago and the founders and technical team make 7-9 figures each and abandon ship, you deserve to be dragged.
