So not only is big tech deciding what we can talk about, now they’re also deciding who gets to manipulate the stock market
Like did people really think banning Trump and Parler was the end of it?

Reddit and Discord basically just shut down the successful iteration of Occupy Wall Street.
Hoping I’m wrong at least about Reddit and this is what’s going on:
Looks like they took it private because of moderation concerns, so that’s good:
Anyway, remember not to sell until at least $420.69
The subreddit is back! reddit.com/r/wallstreetbe…

Glad that at least on Reddit this wasn’t a censorship thing, Discord is still looking pretty sus though

Announcement! My new work focus is...

I'm building a town for creators.

Not from scratch, but by growing a historic town near Austin.

Year 1 projects include: New housing, a coworking cafe, boutique hotel & more.

I don't think I've ever been so excited to work on something 😃
A few asks:

If that sounds cool, follow me for updates!

If you know anyone working on anything remotely similar, please tag them or DM me.

If you have any interest in investing, DM me for investor info & updates.

Can't wait to share more details soon 🎉
Specific town, initial project sites, and other details like that coming in the next few weeks!

I plan to do all of this building in public, should be a lot of fun.

Forget the productivity arguments. Not waking up around or before sunrise is a sign of poor health, either mentally or physically.

You know what the name is for someone sleeping past sunrise in the wild?

Breakfast.
When I start habitually sleeping in late, that’s a signal to me something is wrong.

Diet, exercise, exciting work, toxins (alcohol sugar), sunlight, community.

It means I need to fix something.

I don’t buy the “some people are more nocturnal” argument for a second.
Blue light exposure obviously being the biggest and most powerful lever / disruptor here

Just saw the news about @zapier selling some of their shares to Sequoia at a $4b valuation.

I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to hear company fundraising news.

I owe a huge part of where I am today to Zapier, @wadefoster, and @dannyaway

Short thread 👇
Back in Fall 2014 when I was a senior in college, I knew I wanted to work “on a startup” but had no idea where to start.

I decided to learn content marketing, since then I could at least use the writing skills I developed as a philosophy major.
I started my personal site to show I knew how to “do content,” and after writing a few pieces, decided to try to get some freelance writing gigs.

The first two places I contacted were Buffer and Zapier, since I admired both companies.

Buffer said no, but Zapier said yes.

I absolutely loved playing Roller Coaster Tycoon growing up.

And only recently found out it was an absolutely incredible video game development project.

👇👇👇
First off, it was wildly successful.

It was the best selling game of 1999 when it was released, and in 2000 as well as 2001 it was the second best selling game of the year (both years behind The Sims).

By 2002, it had sold 4 million copies.
It's the 32nd best selling PC video game of all time, beating Age of Empires, Diablo, and SimCity.

This year you’ve gotten more:
And that’s because:
I for one have definitely gotten more conservative this year, but I think mostly because the party lines changed

Why you shouldn't Venmo your friends 👇
We have this belief that before money, we did complicated exchanges amongst one another. One cow for thirty bushels of wheat or whatever.

According to David Graeber in "Debt: The First 5,000 Years," we have no record of that actually being the economic system anywhere pre-money.
Instead, if we were making exchanges with people we knew, we just gave each other stuff and expected that someday they'd help us out too.

I'll share the meat from my hunt with you, you'll help me build a hut when I need a new one.
