My 2025 resolution is to keep becoming even more myself

1/ @giu and I are excited to officially launch Pinetree! 🌲

We're building the best video client for casters, with crypto rails baked in. Our conviction is that ads-based video platforms are a local maxima and that we have an opportunity to unlock the global maxima — a video content network powered by a p2p economy.

Taking on YouTube is the most insane move, and if anyone’s gonna succeed it’s gonna be @androidsixteen.eth and @giu

FarCon NYC

These FarCon ticket holders have the fewest ticket holders following their accounts

Be sure to welcome them to the community should you meet!

if you're on this list, come say hi when you see me! would love to meet you

tragic that David Graeber didn't live long enough to see AI eliminate bullshit jobs

Just learned about this eyebrow clipping trend where you put clips on your eyebrows to relieve tension in your eyebrow muscles! I’ve been gently pinching my brows with my hands and it kind of works?? Pics are from other people who “clipped” their eyebrows 😂

In addition to @manan and I, most of the /neynar team will be at /farcon-nyc this time. We've grown a bit over the last year, come say hi:

- @flashprofits.eth: indexer services, parquet, kafka
- @tybook.eth: internal indexers and databases, APIs
- @vrose.eth: ML ranking, feeds 
- @veganbeef: mini apps CLI starter kit, notifications, all things frames
- @mcilroyc: all things API
- @quazia: x402, snapchain, protocol
- @grin: ML and AI 
- @topocount.eth: data services, webhooks 

You can find all of them here (incl. team members who won't be at farcon): https://warpcast.com/rish/pack/neynar-team-tyy4s5

To start, will see you for pizza: https://lu.ma/bxomr102

tech degenerates 🤝 Black Mirror Hotel Reverie

looking forward to outsourcing the game-playing to my AI agents while i crank out code all day

If anyone needs space for a FarCon event, we may be able to accommodate you at Fractal Tech.

We have a warehouse space in Williamsburg with a pretty big open area, an adjacent cozy lounge, a kitchen, and a roof.
