It’s very easy to hate on digital advertising, but wow does direct mail suck ass. Maybe 30+ pieces of mail the span of a few days, not a single one worth looking at. So much waste.

Free business idea: - I support my favorite teams with merch, but most gear sucks - I don’t need moisture-wicking or stretch - If it’s Cotton, it's usually poorly-made. Here's what I want: - Nice merch made on thick cotton blanks, MiUSA, premium feeling. "Your grandchild's favorite vintage tee"

I once had a babysitter who would put a ping pong ball under a cone and ask us to close our eyes. When she told us to open our eyes, the ball had disappeared from under the cone and moved into an adjacent room. I believed it was honest-to-goodness magic.

the people who say they’re gonna use AI to finally write their novels are like the people who want to know if it “counts” when they skim a book. “counts” for what? with whom? we live alongside such an incredible surplus of Content! the process and the enjoyment are the scarce, valuable Thing of it!
