This is actually a pretty cool fact 🌱
Dario is a vegetarian. Sam Altman is a vegetarian. Sundar Pichai is also vegetarian. Let that sink in.

First they came for the lettuce. Then they came for the avocados. When they come for the tomatoes what are we going to do then?

As a vegan I do not approve this message 😭
A San Diego infectious disease doctor says it’s probably best to stay away from fresh produce for the next week or so, even if you wash it. A fecal parasite illness, known as cyclosporiasis, has now reached California. NBC 7’s Shandel Menezes has details. on.nbc7.com/fJ8api2

If you swap Argentina for England vs Norway tonight the pundits woulda been rioting in the streets, but because it’s England benefiting from at least 2 if not 3 obvious errors, everyone’s quiet.

Played two hands bad and one bad beat at the TV feature table = 20th in the monster. My best NLHE result in a live bracelet event somehow. Bracelet dream still a dream 🥺

. @Kevmath @WSOPOnlinePoker I made day 2 of the $250 Mystery bounty WSOP bracelet event, but there's more flights that apparently I can still register. What's the rules on that? (biggest stack goes forward, rest receive min-cash?) I can't find anything online

How it feels to be the only one without a bracelet on Team Fleyshman but at least I contribute 43 final tables: 👀
Made an infographic with all the players from the @25kfantasy draft. Had Codex calculate all the earnings, cashes, final tables, etc. Did not anticipate the outcome being this one-sided😅. Also, DNeg's team having $70m more in live cashes than second is crazy.

. @Kevmath is the late reg for the Mystery $550 end at end of level 10 or beginning of level 11? (there is a 20 break so I’m asking if you can reg during that break.) The app says end of level 10

I guess I'm one of the Google ones
What do the smartest kids in the world do when they grow up? I did the largest study of ~18,000 International Olympiad medalists (IMO, IOI and IPhO) over the last 25yrs, arguably the sharpest analytical minds of the world in high school, to see where they ended up and traced ~50% of them. Founders of ~20 unicorns and ~7 decacorns and ~10 billionaires: OpenAI, Cursor, Stripe, Databricks, Perplexity, Ethereum, Cognition, Hyperliquid, Fireworks, Modal, Quora, Parallel, Cartesia, Wispr Most kids went to MIT, a whopping 12% of them, followed by Cambridge (7%) and Sharif (3%)! The career paths they chose (of those who graduated) were: — 36% Academia (professors) — 26% Other — 22% in Software / Tech — 12% in Quant / Finance — 5% Founders! The biggest employer was Google, by far, at 6%. Others interesting tidbits were: — 47 of them work at Jane Street (#3) — 38 at OpenAI (#5) — 15 at Anthropic — 8 at Cognition — 6 at Isomorphic Labs Olympiaders were 1500x more likely to be billionaires and 4000x more likely to be unicorn founders than the average person!

Facts
This is also because the hot men with perfect pictures are whores. A normal god-fearing monogamous man doesn’t have magazine qualities pics of himself. He has a pic of him with a fish or skiing idk

Two hot girlie-pops walk into the Spaniard in West Village last night realize my friends and I are talking quant immediately and brazenly ask for a drink. I tell them a 5 minute story about a date that didn’t work out and I tell them no, they literally stand up & leave 🫡😂 #nyc
