Just updated my app folders Image
My co-founder is yelling at me because I forgot to include the icon for our AI-powered research app

Fixed and perfectly placed at the nexus of Sloth and Lust. https://t.co/c7OCpr96RcBearly.AI

WHATS IN THE BOX?!

@KettlebellLife After reading through the replies, let me also fix the “Lust” folder for a glaring omission. Image

That wild TikTok live performer vid makes so much more sense when you see the pricing of the gifts.

“GangGang” and “Ice Cream” are the cheapest (1 coin) while “Hat and moustache” break the bank (99 coins). https://t.co/htRviJuE56twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

A TikTok coin is worth ~1.3 cents:

The gifts are showered on the live-streamer. PinkyDoll could get 1000 “hat and moustaches” in a few minutes and be done for the day: https://t.co/fVRiNpFduL https://t.co/9DZNkvHVBOteilo.org/tiktok-coins/

Over $3B of Nutella is sold a year and it is the crown jewel for the Ferrero Group, Italy’s richest family (~$40B).

The recipe itself goes back centuries.

A wild detail: Napoleon is responsible for its invention.

In 1806, the French General turned Emperor started a continental… https://t.co/zLw3QXVLBrtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…






Michele Ferrero is basically the real-life Willy Wonka and invented Mon Cheri, TicTac, Kinder Bars and Ferrero Rocher (which took him 5 years to make).

I wrote an entire breakdown of the business here: https://t.co/OpPECc8Hhwbit.ly/3Das24Z
TIL: Kobe endorsed Nutella (ad is from 2001), which does make sense because he spent a few years of his childhood in Italy.

Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour is doing insane numbers and is on pace to be the first to gross $1 billion.

Her take-home profit will be $500m+.
I made that table based on range of estimate from this @NeilShahWSJ article:

Here is the other top tours: https://t.co/nRhGc54t9gwsj.com/articles/taylo…

MTV Cribs profiled over 110 celebrity homes.

What was the most popular episode? It wasn’t a big mansion or exotic getaway.

It was Redman touring his modest Staten Island townhome.

Before filming, the MTV producers offered to rent the rapper a mansion but he had zero… https://t.co/mMxkwrbtBCtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
To see a future episode on my crib, (including my only two pairs of Air Jordans because my wife won’t let me store anymore than that), check out my weekly newsletter: https://t.co/luVNItHHLSbit.ly/3NthDrq

Elon vs. Zuck isn’t the first corporate dispute settled in the ring.

In 1992, Southwest Airlines had the motto “Just Plane Smart”. Another aviation firm had the motto “Plane Smart”.

The CEOs resolved the trademark dispute with an arm-wrestling match.

It was dubbed “Malice In… https://t.co/Oo4GmYTAi0twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Southwest went all in on the bit. Kelleher has a whole segment “training” with bottles of Wild Turkey. It’s gold.

Just asked ChatGPT — via my research app — if resolving a trademark dispute with an arm-wrestling match is a good idea.

AI will never understand. https://t.co/VLRqkoxF9xBearly.AI

The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” is the most streamed song on Spotify ever.

Assuming the payout is $0.005 a stream, that song has paid out less ($18.2m) than the deal Harry and Meghan got paid to make 12 podcast episodes ($20m).
If you — or @BillSimmons — is looking for content to fill the Harry and Meghan podcast voice…

…I recommend listening to that time I had 5x Red Bulls and did a 90-minute deep dive on the iPhone: https://t.co/Qp0KrMp80dopen.spotify.com/episode/7hqc1X…
I’m partial to The Weeknd’s “Save Your Tears” (specifically this performance at the 2021 Billboard awards).
