We’re stopping >2,000 spam calls a week at @popcorn before your phone even rings.
AI screens the calls and gets better over time.
Saves time + brain cells.
if you need a <$100 gift idea for the holidays:
@mybirdbuddy just launched the Nook for $99

Polsia is about to hit $25M run rate.
Next stop: $100M ARR.
And things keep accelerating:
$0 → $1M in 12 weeks
$1M → $10M in 10 weeks
$10M → $20M in 6 weeks
I just published one of my favorite and most successful aisloP episodes yet: “The Run Rate.”
I tell the whole story, from idea to $20M, month by month.
The episode ends in Tokyo, where I went a few weeks ago.
Probably the best place on Earth to take a deep breath, get inspired, and rethink what’s possible.
I came back with an even bolder vision for Polsia.
The road from $25M to $100M is going to look very different.
Polsia v2 is coming soon.

I stood directly next to @minafahmi in a room of ~100 people last night as he whispered into his Stream. I couldn't hear a thing he said but watched perfect, immediate dictation appear on his phone — and then moments later on his macbook without him reconnecting anything. magic

the number of my beloved 'maker' tools that claude has recently replaced for me / @blockitAI has been blistering:
- lovable
- figma
- gamma
- veed
- cursor
- increasingly notion (which i never imagined happening ever 🤯)
anecdotally feels like their 'artifact' strategy is actually working...

Surreal to see Stream recognized as a @TIME Best Invention of the Year
We're here because of our team, customers, investors, and friends who believe in a different future—in self extension and free human thought.
Thanks for your belief. We will keep building.
@sandbar
We’re grateful to @TIME for naming Stream Ring one of the Best Inventions of 2026 in the Wearable Technology category
Meaningful moment for our small team in New York, and everyone who’s believed in what we’re building. This milestone is yours, too

A year ago I joined @ncsh at @adjacent. Today the first company I backed launches: ROSE, by Eli Bronner and Henry Ellis (too cool for X).
Everyone measures your blood. Nobody measures the inputs: your water, your air. That's where chronic disease starts.

Good morning everyone who told me to sell asap
$BSP up nearly 50% as Berkshire Hathaway doubles down on Bending Spoons with another $330M on top of its original $600M IPO investment.

This rush to consensus capital is going to sow the seeds for the next set of breakout companies and breakout venture firms.
You make your fortune by being contrarian and correct, not just by being contrarian, and this is the opportunity for someone to be contrarian and correct.
We are in the age of consensus capital [2026 part II]:
1– Only 10% of LP funding to emerging managers
2– Only 10% of VC rounds smaller than $50M
@adjacent is for the unproven

your intern missed my second pint. Would have insulted my german heritage by being mid-pack here
