're doing affirmations. I don't know why. It could be because reality is subjective. It could be that you literally just imagine a different path in your reality that is no more or less real than the one you were on before. So maybe it's just that. Maybe all possibilities exist in a steady state like every path exists and the only thing that's moving is your consciousness weaving through the vario…

You know let's say he looked on Twitter and found the people who were just killing it on Twitter but don't have their own platform yet. That'd be fun. Yeah that'd be really fun. So we'll keep an eye on that.
Zero Hedge tweeted that the use of Threads, the competitor to Twitter, is down 20% from Saturday and user time spent is down 50%. Now I have not checked Threads in a few days. I did sign up just to see what it's all about. Haven't felt any need to check it in two days. I've checked Twitter 400 times. Why the difference? Well here's the mistake that Zuckerberg made which sounded like the smartest thing he did which might have turned into the dumbest thing he did. So one of the features when you sign up for Threads is that you can automatically bring all of your follows over, not the people who follow you but the people you follow.

It's some of the worst tweeting or threading you've ever seen in your life. All the people who look amazing when they have to talk, it all just goes away. They don't have anything. It is so amazingly uninteresting to read the threads from the same people that I happily follow on Instagram and will continue to. Their Instagram posts are great. Yeah there was a reason I followed them but boy when they start talking there's nothing to see there. There's just nothing there. A typical tweet would be like I don't know if I should wear socks today. Okay all right.
All right let's talk about your socks. So as I tweeted about that it turns out that

moving my Instagram followers to Threads did not give me the Algonquin Round Table effect I was hoping to achieve. Now I'd like to look to the five percent of you who understood that joke for a reaction. Anybody understand that joke? Algonquin Round Table. All right some of you got it. Good. The rest of you will just have to Google it. The Algonquin Round Table. Add that to your snooty vocabulary.…
