4th of July makes the think of food and how everything I ate as a kid was basically poison. Bless mum’s heart but...
What I was fed I now see as child endangerment:
-Cereal, OJ
-Sandwiches, school lunch garbage
-Afternoon cookies & bagels
-Pasta or rice every dinner
-McD’s & Taco Bell for treats
—Surprise! I got tubbby
I lost 30lbs in a year just not eating every visible carb & sweet, but pizza & ice cream still. That convinces me I could have done this as a kid and still been happy.
It’s wild there are no restaurant chains for healthy kids. “Way better Healthy Meal toy, way fewer fries.” Hope this exists when my spawn emerge.
Eating healthier today takes money or time, but @ThistleCo salad delivery & @Nomiku Sous Vide make it faster. More startups fixing food plz

Your careers page is bad and you should feel bad. It's wasting your team's 🕑+💸 by hurting your recruiting.
We looked at 100 top startups sites and found 7 easy ways to improve your careers page -- even if you're in a hiring freeze 😬...
1. Ditch your headshots and geeky "class photo" of your whole team. Invest in great photography of your founders, product, and office life. You'll end up using them everywhere
2. Make your equity look like a steal by adding metrics, not just feel-good marketing speak
The WSJ's "Facebook Files" is the biggest scoop in the company's history. Internal documents prove:
-Facebook knew its algorithm incentivized outrage
-Instagram knew it hurt teen girls
-Facebook has been shielding VIPs from moderation
Here are the shocking revelations... 🧵
Facebook changed its algorithm in 2018, promote friends & family content to "improve well-being"
In actuality, it was an attempt to stop a multi-year decline in Likes and Sharing
Facebook's algorithm change incentivized hateful content, so political parties & news outlets made their posts angrier, driving polarization. Some shifted to make 80% of their posts negative, Fb's research found.
But execs refused to change back bc it would hurt usage & revenue
The OnlyFans ban could put creators in danger by pushing them back towards in-person sex work.
In interviewed some OnlyFans stars & experts to get real talk on the ban 🧵 1/7
OnlyFans isn’t banning porn, but is betting it can thrive as softcore-only with fewer headaches, even if it hurts creators.
It’s quietly been pushing the most graphic content off already. 2/7
The OnlyFans hardcore ban was driven by puritanical payment processors like Visa & MasterCard threatening to cut them off. It’s moral censorship not a legal issue
The risk is real. PornHub got cut off and had to shift to crypto & ACH transfers only. 3/7
Startup fundraising legal-ese is absurdly confusing. Here are the key terms and how to understand them... 1/
Liquidity Preference: Who gets paid out first at exit. 2X or 3X means a VC gets multiple times their $ back before founders get any! If there's none left, sucks for everyone else. Keep pref at 1X or the team & other investors might get nothing unless the company becomes huge. 2/
Warrants: VCs will ask for warrants - the right to purchase stock at a specific price at a later date - as compensation for coming in early and catalyzing a round. This is not standard! Avoid it! Other investors will just ask for the same deal when they find out. 3/
Flymachine just launched the future of livestreamed concerts:
-Broadcast in the best angles from top venues
-Overlaid video chat with friends
-Started by the TicketFly & Bonnaroo founders
Here's why it's a win for artists, venues, and fans where others failed 🧵
Concert streaming was asocial, boring, and unsustainable.
Music lovers deserve more than sitting by themselves watching single-camera streams from the basement of an artist who's not getting paid
Streams felt nothing like an IRL show 2/
You need 3 things to make concert streaming work:
1. Artists to earn $ without piling on extra work 2. Venues to bring the stage/light show while paying staff 3. Fans to feel the camaraderie of attending with friends
