    We're building a meditation app that also happens to be an email client :)
    Email that feels like meditation. Join the waitlist at the link in our bio. Thanks for the feedback on the Alpha, @iamrayyaann.

    I worked at Facebook when we had 200 employees I’ve never understood why FB needs 20,000 employees. And less so the 70,000 employees Meta has now @elonmusk’s Twitter layoffs are appropriate Unfortunate, but appropriate These businesses just don’t require that many people

    My politics: I’m basically a Bill Clinton era Democrat, circa 1999 Which, by todays standards, places me on the “right” Balanced budget, strong borders, skill-based immigration, pro-technology, socially liberal, unapologetically capitalist I’ve stood still, you sprinted left

    Totally unacceptable that the new iPhone can’t withstand an angle grinder, rotary sander and being smashed with a hammer What happened to quality control? 😤
    The aluminum has uh…gotten worse

    I say privatize it, and better yet: let us opt-out of receiving physical mail. I bet 30%+ of Americans would gladly opt-out. Send us an email, a text, a phone call, a carrier pigeon. Anything but physical mail. Alongside federal funding, the USPS gets a lot of its funding

    I once met Alex Honnold on a flight in Switzerland We chatted for about an hour. As we picked up our bags he asked me: “what do you do for a living?” “I invest in startups” He replied: “Isn’t that incredibly risky?”

    Miami: “Let’s build 20 new residential skyscrapers in one year!” SF: “Oh no! You can’t build here. This is a historic Nordstrom’s parking lot”

    I strongly agree with this point, but boy is it unpopular 😅😂 Let’s give Congresspeople $2M a year, Senators $6M, and Presidents $40M We’d likely save money on-net. Because now qualified people want to apply for those jobs
    Politicians should make significantly more money. The incentives are all wrong. Pay the President $40mil/year and see the candidates. No need for backroom deals or bribery.

    Even anonymized, I’d never post private texts like this from a job candidate Not everything has to be fodder for content. This was a polite decline, and I’m sure the person who sent it doesn’t feel great being put on blast like this
    honest question you're 22 and you value work life balance why??

    I’ve found it. The worst user interface ever built 😂

    If Elon winds up pulling this off & builds a leaner, more profitable & innovative Twitter… a lot of tech journalists’ #RIPTwitter tweets from tonight are going to look pretty silly But they won’t care. They’ll be too busy being faux-outraged at the next thing
