I just want enough Farcaster rewards so I can buy a dishwasher

my least favourite vibe is anyone giving off “you’re not important enough to talk to” and constantly looking around for someone better

you truly never know where someone will end up, who they will become, etc. but what is certain is that they will remember you not taking them seriously.

I cherish the ones who talk to me the same way from day 1 💞

s/o to @rish for hosting builders at USV’s office earlier today to demo problems instead of products. I’d love to see more builder-vc sessions lean into this format because it shows another side of the people/teams we see building in public

Can you believe Martha Stewart is 83 years old?? 

Screw gardening tips, gimme the longevity/skincare routine

how you respond to rejection is far more important a signal than any reason(s) you may have been rejected in the first place

I see this a lot with founders. Using rejection as a chance to publicly dunk, esp when the other product is already under fire, can actually backfire.

If you’re being rejected because it’s not the right fit or the product isn’t solving a meaningful problem, it often says more about you than them.

Honestly checks out with some of the energy lately

Listen, this week is going to trigger a raw and an almost animalistic rage in some people. If this is you, realize it's only a transit that will soon pass and try to regain control of your anger. However, sometimes anger is necessary, just don't choose violence.

ngl chow chows are growing on me 

they’re just so ridiculous, like you have the free will to own such a ridiculous creature and a chow chow is absolutely one of them

Dogs

someone who lives on our street recently got an American Akita which is a top 10 dog I would own, they’re so zesty and majestic

I’m thinking of slipping them a note to offer dog sitting or walking 🥺

here is the story of the most elaborate and expensive hi-fi system that @brileigh and I have ever heard:

we met this hi-fi dealer—let’s call him Larry—when visiting nyc after I inquired about a particular brand of electronics that only they and two other dealers in the U.S. happen to carry (Spectral Audio). more about Spectral another time, though.

we were brought to a smaller room than this one and another staff member set up our modest demo of a CD player, preamplifier, stereo amplifier, and floorstanding speakers. 

after about 30min of listening, Larry burst into the room with his walker clanking loudly. he had recently had surgery on his leg or foot, and he joked that he was considering bringing a mattress to the hi-fi showroom so that he could sleep here instead of commuting.

Core memory with @matthewb 

Definitely wont forget this experience

I’ve reached the point of no return on my IG algorithm. 

These are Kelly’s Minks! She’s having a sale right now!!

last night I was trying to find a boating show (don’t ask) and misread the ad of where to see it on justwatch and paid 10 bucks for a crunchyroll subscription

I was like man it’s weird that a boating show is on some anime platform and I was right because it wasn’t there 🙃

Loose thoughts I haven’t made the time to put into proper casts:

- Content coins and Rodeo have similar goals. Hiding charts in the app and USDC as default is so so helpful for normies. 

- Hopeful Base can get through this phase. I think the general market uncertainty has made this launch even more difficult. You need so much confidence and conviction to be both early and right. 

- We are still missing fundamental DeFi apps like making payments without limits, mitigating credit score approvals, etc. on international scale

- Leaderboard being so central to my experience of purple app doesn’t feel good but I recognize it as a temporary solution for user retention.
