Three years out of the Club.
Today I came home.
Meet #8144, my forever ape.
Do apes still follow apes? 🍌

Four traits. All character.
M2 Cheetah #18311 is home.
That blue backdrop, the cheetah fur, those gloriously deranged eyes. To my eye, one of the cleanest mutants in the entire #MAYC collection.
Exactly the kind of ape that makes you fall in love with collecting. 🧪🦍

mutants are insane
Find your ape. Find your people.
I keep seeing grails find new homes, day after day. Every new arrival is another personality, another story, another reason the swamp is such a special place.
The art is iconic. But the humour, creativity, friendships and sheer generosity of this community deserve just as much attention. There really is no club quite like it.
Today, my handsome white BAYC with the eyepatch gets his partner in crime: a 4T M2 Cheetah that, to my eye, is one of the cleanest mutants in the entire MAYC collection.
Thank you, @kek0x, for making it possible. Proud to give him a forever home.
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, I can’t think of a better time to come meet the club. 🍌
The next grail could be yours.
The next welcome will be. 🦍

The word of the year is "maxxing."
Aristotle defined virtue as the mean between excess and deficiency. Two and a half thousand years later, we have turned excess into a self-improvement plan.
You cannot maximise everything. Whatever you maximise, you pay for with something you stopped counting.
Taste is knowing what not to optimise.
I have never once looksmaxxed. It was never necessary.

'Maxxing' crowned Word of the Year
The Gen Z term 'maxxing' has been crowned Word of the Year by Dictionary.com.

Yale economist Pascual Restrepo, who has co-written papers with Nobel laureate @DAcemogluMIT, argues in "We Won't Be Missed" that once machines can do the essential work, wages fall to the cost of running the machine that replaces you.
So the question of the next decade is not "what do you do?"
It is "what do you own?"
The aristocracy understood this for a thousand years. They were never paid for their labour. They were paid for their land.
Ownership is the only job that cannot be automated. And to be frank, I have always found work a little common.
Show me what you own.
I'll go first. 🦍🦎🕯️
The Creepz Party last night hosted by @AdamWeitsman looked amazing!
Hopefully next year, I will make it to both Creepz and Apes events! 🦍🦎
Calling every Bored Ape and Mutant holder. 🦍
Your ape has survived every bear market, every rug and every "NFTs are dead."
So have the Lizards. 🦎
Two communities that never broke.
Every Ape deserves a Creepz at his side.
Apes and Lizards.
Together Strong. 💪💪

Had to secure a @creepz
Had to secure the @creepz for the vault & make sure I was ready for whatever @AdamWeitsman has planned for not only tonight but the future
Cheers to builders & creators
I’m back to where it all began.
Need to update the lizard army, though.
This isn’t quite the full platoon.
So pleased to be the new owner of this beauty!!

I was lucky enough to meet @AdamWeitsman at #ApeFest, where he told me just how epic his @creepz party in Marfa was going to be. From that moment, I knew it was something I couldn’t miss.
Fast forward to Marfa, Texas, and last night I was fortunate enough to meet Adam again. This time, he generously gave me a sneak peek inside the actual venue before the big night.
I’m genuinely blown away.
As a massive Creepz fan, this is the icing on the cake. It also feels like we’re witnessing the beginning of a new era for Creepz, with @rbrtmb , @psychrome and @Unserious_Inc at the helm. The future looks incredibly exciting.
But putting Creepz aside for a moment, I want to give Adam the recognition he genuinely deserves.
This man doesn’t have to do any of this.
He’s putting his own time, money and energy into creating something extraordinary, purely for his love of art, people, communities and Web3 as a whole.
And he’s not just throwing money at something and leaving everyone else to get on with it either!
I was there around midnight, watching Adam and his team working tirelessly to get every tiny detail right. From the lighting to the way the bar was presented, nothing was being overlooked. He was personally involved in it all.
That’s when you realise this isn’t just some guy throwing a party.
This is someone who genuinely gives a fuck.
Someone with real passion for the culture, the art and, most importantly, the people who make this space what it is.
His generosity seems to know no bounds, and we’re incredibly fortunate to have someone like him championing our industry and art as a whole.
On top of all that, he’s an absolute fucking pleasure to talk to. A fascinating individual, down to earth, passionate and genuinely inspiring.
I know this probably sounds like I’m sucking his dick at this point 😂 but sometimes people deserve their flowers, and Adam is absolutely one of those people.
He doesn’t need to do any of this. He chooses to. And that distinction means everything.
The world is a better place when love, passion, generosity and kindness are the driving forces behind what people do.
Adam, thank you for everything you do for this space and its communities. It’s genuinely appreciated.
Tonight is going to be fucking legendary. 🦎🕯️
Very excited for my event tomorrow night Saturday at 8pm (might want to get there a little early) in downtown Marfa at the Old Palace Theatre that’s been abandoned for the past 50 years !!! Working around the clock with the crew to get it ready… Really excited to throw this for the entire community. Everyone invited, free, no charge, no shill guaranteed! Going to be next level kinda stupid crazy 😂 🔥🔥🔥
