noticed i now have a heavy preference to write (casts, replies, anything thoughtful) on my laptop vs my phone unless necessary. i’ll read and consume on my phone, but not writing anything at length. almost fully replaced texting on my phone with voice memos, otherwise i’m just replying in spurts of a few words.

always SF vs. NYC, never LA (sad). anecdotally over the last 2 years, more and more of my friends have moved away from LA to SF or NYC: to SF if they're interested in AI to NYC if they're interested in any other tech only friends that have stayed in LA are CPG, entertainment, or grew up / have family in LA

this week's random real estate development learnings: - hardest part about building a school isn't the "school" part, but the "building" like actual physical building part - banks are less likely to loan to schools (for real estate purchases) because nobody wants to foreclose on kids, super bad for the bank's brand if that happens - but schools can be "economic anchors" for growing neighborhoods, especially in urban communities. target, for instance, is often seen as as an economic anchor bc they are increase employment, commerce, foot traffic, etc. - there is a niche group of lenders / investment banks that see this opportunity and will lend to schools; lots of family offices leaning into this as well

THIS IS HUGE!!! for the past 3 years, i haven't shut up about TYB. i would geek out on it with anyone who would listen, mostly @winnie and the @privy team. i even forced @woj.eth and @dwr.eth to download it. a platform design by @tyhunnny, someone who gets community incentives better than anyone in the world imo.

in a coffee shop line watching a grandfather play with his granddaughter and it hit me how incredible it is that, for some of us, life gives us the chance to experience our parents “parenting”, to see their tenderness and inner child at play with our own children why are there tears coming out of my eyes

feels like the term "yap" peaked months ago and now crypto / tech is catching up. also the "yap" virality on twitter is primarily derived from tiktok (in case anyone forgets the viral sales girl video below). anecdotally, much of twitter culture is downstream of tiktok now. https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x736eae8a

something i never really thought about until i read it yesterday: humans are the only species with whites in our eyes. other primates have melanin that tints their eyes to obscure their gaze, but not humans. we’re the only species where you can tell where someone’s attention is with their eyes (eg eye contact).
