Per a colleague: "We found ourselves at Applebees recently and I am pretty sure what I ordered could also be considered a poison pill."

Welcome to fintwits...
I am excited to be an investor in trade(xyz) as they partner with ICE to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States. As a market participant, I am looking forward to to using their innovative product to enhance my investment process.

Tony and I have explored bringing Instacart and DoorDash together on and off over the years. We kept coming back to it because the industrial logic has always been clear. Customers have 21 meals a week to figure out. Groceries and restaurant delivery each solve part of that problem. Serving customers well means bringing together the best of both. As the biggest companies in the world move deeper into this market, retailers and restaurants need the technology and service to compete. They shouldn’t have to become technology companies themselves to stand a chance. Bringing Instacart and DoorDash together can give them a stronger partner in that fight. For shoppers and Dashers, the opportunity is equally straightforward: less time waiting between orders, more time earning. I’m incredibly proud of what we built at Instacart and grateful to everyone who helped make it possible. Tony is an extraordinary entrepreneur and leader. I’m excited for Instacart to be part of a founder-led company again, and I can’t wait to see what these two teams build together. @t_xu @DoorDash @Instacart

Don't look now, but the Trump admin beginning to get more aggressive on antitrust (after sitting one the sidelines for most of the last 18 months). Last week the playground deal. This week the staffing uniforms deal. Now the biggest: reuters.com/world/us-doj-is-…

BREAKING @FT Weil, Gotshal & Manges plans to tell partners on Wednesday afternoon the law firm should dissolve, a decision that marks a stunning downfall for what was until recently one of the US’s largest and most prestigious. ft.com/content/0476f216-0060…

When it comes to AI unicorns, any large funding announcement is really just marketing for the new, bigger round that's already underway.

First Scoop: OpenAI is buying Google's AI chips. It's a big win for Google’s TPU chip business, which is a growing challenger to Nvidia. Also follows Oracle, which today said it would buy and rent out TPUs to customers. Talk to Barwick, folks! theinformation.com/articles/…

Damn that was a fun night
“Back to Foulke, Red Sox fans have longed to hear it, the Boston Red Sox are World Champions.” 22 years ago tonight, the Curse of the Bambino was finally broken with a sweep of the Cardinals in the 2004 World Series.

Amanda Seyfried might- in addition to her Emmy for portraying Elizabeth Holmes- win an Oscar for portraying Elizabeth Holmes. That means she'll only need to win a Tony for Theranos: The Musical and a Grammy for Diagnose My Heart (feat Pitbull) to get the EEGOT (Elizabeth EGOT)

Cheesecake Factory stock is up more than 100% this year, but down since this inane discourse began.

Wonder if the Day 1 retail run on Anthropic won't mirror SpaceX, given how burned a bunch of those investors got. In other words, smaller pop.
