I ate at this sushi restaurant weekly. Incredible service. Outstanding reviews. Packed every night. They decided to retire, and shut the business down at its peak. So contrary to the conventional American wisdom of selling / milking profits with declining quality. Kind of beautiful.

The wildest part is that even if Sliwa or Cuomo had dropped out, he still would have won. The people have spoken loud and clear.

Visited my cousin’s farm. Mama sow was lumbering around, very pregnant. We hosed her off to help with the heat. The next morning we find this! Beautiful.

@joshcirre.com and @davehicking.com had literally thousands of frames to choose from for this thumbnail 🤣😂

I cannot fathom how much money VCs who don't write code are going to lose on the AI hype train.

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 06/08/2025

this is not a sustainable business model

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 01/08/2025

Definitely the most beautiful place I’ve ever tested my new board game.

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 31/07/2025

Best moment ever

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 30/07/2025

Final round. Good luck

I have not been able to talk about the work I’ve been doing with the Forge team, and today is like Christmas. Buckle up.

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 29/07/2025

Find this cash money millionaire to join the game and vie for $1500

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 29/07/2025

This is insane.

oldie but a goodie from the immortal @hotdogsladies.bsky.social. His newsletter is good.

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 06/07/2025

sounds like a pretty cool guy!

when "let's make a one-off game for a conference" turns into "I'm gonna build a game platform that I can create games in for 10 years."

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 05/07/2025

Forgot to post this.

This guy might as well be reading tea leaves. Why do we pay attention to this grift?

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 23/06/2025

I just didn't expect our gestapo to dress like such dorks

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 09/06/2025

it's gonna be good

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 05/06/2025

laracon slides really coming together

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 04/06/2025

the prototype of our newest game just arrived. If you're around NYC, or I'm going to see you this year, I'd love to test it with you! It's so fun.

Half of these might be awful, and that's ok. I'm just thrilled to have 10 movies to be excited about.

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 21/05/2025

someone requested a feature for the client app, and I built it the next day. Might have set a bad precedent

John Rudolph Drexler @johnrudolphdrexler.com · 19/05/2025
