"While status is subjective, status games are unavoidable. We are constantly evaluating others’ status, others are constantly evaluating ours, and we ourselves are always chasing some form of “status,” regardless of whether we’re conscious of the chase." Blog: www.youngmoney.co/p/status-gam...

Moneylion is getting acquired for $1 billion. It went public through a SPAC deal around $2.4 billion. Was trading at $100 million 18 months ago. Lots of SPACs were real companies that just had poor valuations, but made good investments after initially selling off.

A thing about bitcoin that I’ve found annoying is that the original argument for it, a decentralized currency that can’t be manipulated, is effectively dead. The price went up because 1) it’s broadly accessible on exchanges and 2) people just… bought it.

Twitter does still produce some bangers. Cracked out kid (who I chatted with two years ago, funny enough), casually tracking all Citibike data for a side project may be helping with the manhunt in Manhattan.

Since Jaguar's newest release is a "nonproduction model," I wanted to submit my application to be Chief Creative Officer. How'd I do?

Really interesting breakdown from @jonkeegan.com at @sherwoodnews.bsky.social on engagement stats across X, Threads, and BlueSky. TLDR: BlueSky is punching above its weight, despite its lower user base. Will be interesting to see if this sticks. sherwood.news/tech/bluesky...

DOGE is going to prove to be much more of a distraction to policy than a catalyst for it.
