The statue of Prometheus is finally finished. It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this. People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny. But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity. In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history. After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome. Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.

Jesus Christ.
Harvard kids singing Radiohead’s “Creep.” This could have gone very wrong. Then the lead singer opens his mouth. The Harvard Veritones have won at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella — the real-world competition that inspired Pitch Perfect. Turn the sound on for this one.

I thought this was one of the most compelling sequences of The Odyssey. Definitely recommend seeing this sequence in 70mm at the IMAX. @odysseymovie

What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings? I spent $250 in Kling credits and 9 hours re-editing the Fellowship trailer to bring that vision to life—and I’ll show you exactly how I did it 👇🏼

You grew up having sleepovers and going to the mall when you could have been creating shareholder value.

Balling my eyes out rn. A 17 year old kid just knocked on our front door in East Austin. He asked if he could pull weeds or do other yard work. I love this type of hustle just like the rest of you so of course I agreed. I stepped outside to chat with him. Life got crazy.

An unintentional masterpiece of saying the quiet part loud from Apple's marketing dept here. All of your favorite tangile past times and hobbies are being crushed into a soulless app machine. Silver lining: the comments have been resoundingly negative.
Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.

Everything is fine. 😳
This is absolutely insane… This is Jared Bernstein. Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers. He advises Biden on economic policy.

How marketers think people buy: 1. Buyer sees ad. 2. Buyer clicks ad. 3. Buyer purchases. Versus how people *actually* buy:
