When I was young, I wanted to build a Kit Car replica of either a Countach or AC Cobra.

Kits are cool!

Here’s two that I want to build:

Evolution Turbine | Evolution Aircraft

Overview - Factory Five Racing

Type 65 Coupe Overview There were only six original Coupes ever made. Those cars captured the 1965 FIA World Championship…

Since frequenting Twitter today, here's what I learned:

Pelosi's husband's hammer beating alledgedly might be at the hands of a gay lover...
Taylor Swift went BOSS MODE and has dominated the top 10 spots on the billboard...
The World Series was postponed
Someone named Cardi B dressed like a scantily clad Marge Simpson for Halloween
Elon Musk has confirmed that the NYT is fake news.
Someone named Jeongyong had a birthday.

And this was curating my channel to show mostly tech and business news!

And if you use Twitter correctly, here is what a typical reader would understand from your post above:

Taylor Swift hit Pelosy, top 10 times
Elon Musk had a birthday
Cardi B used a gay hammer
nYT is postponed

The YouTuber Richard Grannon is posting fast lane type business content lately about what he’s learned in business. Some good stuff

How should Elon Musk monetize twitter? It appears he is going to charge people $20 a month to be "certified". He might also want to let people charge money for receiving tweets. For example, if you want Bill Gates to receive your tweet to him, maybe he charges people $20k a tweet. Kind of like "power chats" on YT. Charge people for your time to read tweets. Power Tweets.

Customer service rep sent me this link for installation instructions. I write back and say the link doesn't work. She writes back, when I click on it, it opens immediately on my computer.

When I was young, I wanted to build a Kit Car replica of either a Countach or AC Cobra.

I came up with an idea this weekend that may or may not work. Renting regular old cars on Turo. Imagine buying a 72 Pinto and then offering it on Turo. They cost around $10k-$20k. I think there would be a subset of people that would like to rent a car that they used to have when they were young. I'm thinking cheaper non-classic but well known cars from the 70's. I would totally rent an old 78 Thunderbird or 68 Cougar or 77 Pacer. I'd probably want it for a few hours just to remember it. Many people may want them for social media pics.

Imagine offering this on Turo.

On Twitter I have around 100 words "muted" from my timeline. All the crime and political stuff.




It cleans it up so much, makes it a way better platform.

Do I need to look for my forgotten Twitter account password, if the only thing I care about Twitter is the timeline of Dogecoin??

Don’t you know value creation is the wrong way to do this? You’re supposed to buy hubris filled bubble tokens and hope they go up!

My first wheels were a 72 Maverick, I'd absolutely love to have a day reunion with this old style beast.

There are people succeeding in every type of business. More and more I think it’s less about what type of business you’re in and more about how much business you do (scale, effort, energy, focus).

I'm thinking Twitter is going to be huge now that Elon took it over. It will probably take over Tik Tok and YouTube in popularity. Elon is just a genius.

Even those who don't like JP can benefit from this video. The first part rings true to me when was rock bottom in past and just focus on personal organization and household tasks leading to a rise.

Kyle is correct - I'm an Englishman abroad, and known to occasionally partake in the UK and Irish artform of sarcasm.

Unless he revolutionizes the content type on Twitter and creates something more engaging than short form videos, it's not going to change much.
It's still going to be tweets.
