Greetings from this real bridge in New Jersey

Once the political stuff dies down we can all come together around the majesty of the midwestern crayfish ❤️

@ted : we need more non-crypto content

@baltobb : consider the midwestern crayfish

An underrated thing about Nouns is we have our own political cartoonist

politics

Can’t believe I’m defending Elon, but I do think being able to disagree with the president is important in a democracy.

How these airdrops started -> wow there are teams within Farcaster and outside that want to distribute tokens so let's make it easier for Farcaster users to receive and get notified

How they are going for me mentally -> thousands of angry notifications and some people going after me personally

Farcaster’s culture is what it is because we build.

Not everything we build is perfect, but if we harass builders we hinder growth of the network for all of us.

my heart goes out to any orgs excited to announce something today

Almost launched something today and at 10pm last night my gut told me to wait.

30:53 talks about how we need to unstick our political POV from 2020.

Great listen @erik !

This breakup was as definitely inevitable — but some of the trending things are hilarious

You wanted the WWE administration.

@danshipper had frontier AIs play Diplomacy and they all acted like stereotypes of their companies.

“DeepSeek turned warmongering tyrant. Claude couldn't lie—everyone exploited it ruthlessly. Gemini 2.5 Pro nearly conquered Europe with brilliant tactics. Then o3 orchestrated a secret coalition, backstabbed every ally, and won.”

🚨 NEW: 

We made Claude, Gemini, o3 battle each other for world domination.

We taught them Diplomacy—the strategy game where winning requires alliances, negotiation, and betrayal. 

Here's what happened:

The two things I bet my portfolio on this year:

1. Trump election would lead to a short lived market spike until people realized he was who he said he was 
2. Elon X Trump breakup

I enjoy that there’s alpha in understanding narcissistic men 

Love to turn pain into money

Can’t decide between Nintendo switch 2 and PS5

Which is greater:

Number of people who didn’t expect Trump-Elon break up

The end of crypto's foundation era is here.

New policy (CLARITY Act), emerging structures (DUNA), and smarter tooling (BORGs) enable better systems — better incentives, accountability, and decentralization.

My new post on why it’s time to move on from foundation structures:

Excited to end decentralization theatre and lean into decentralization when it’s the winning strategy

if you get solicited or unsolicited feedback about your pre-pmf product you should be ecstatic that someone cared

things to do:
- ask lots of questions and thank them
- don't need to explain anything

archetypes of not to do:

1. some founders/PMs take the high horse attitude of "oh you're too dumb to understand what the product is meant to do. let me ask some condescending questions to make you realize how dumb you are to understand my product".

2. some people get super defensive or on the back foot and start explaining all technical, resource and other reasons why things are the way they are. 
the common pitfall is to think the user asking you "why aren't things the way i want them". no. treat it as, they're telling you how they expect things to be.

I love feedback! Even if a lot of outside feedback shouldn’t be taken literally:

1. It means they understand what it could be.
2. They care!

i could work from a cold plunge today tbh it's terrible out

Going outside today to get provisions since @baltobb has a migraine

Evals are all you need
