'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

Mushrooms… helluva drug

Florida pickleball brawl involving up to 20 people results in paddles to the face and felony charges Anthony Sapienza, 63, and his wife Julianne Sapienza, 51, were arrested after multiple people sustained injuries, including a 70-year-old man.

“Victims say the match got "heated" after Anthony Sapienza accused his opponent of crossing into the "kitchen" — a restricted area of the court.”

This is just true Florida man style 😆. But to be fair: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen

You mentioned this week “turning MyMind into my daily journal / commonplace book”, tell me more!

Well this is getting ridiculous.

@gergely.pragmaticengineer.com I have a question on your newsletter, does substack let me renew my subscription earlier than the renewal date? I'd love to be able to extend my subscription now.

Anything interesting happen today? No?

Steve Blank Leadership is More Than a Memo I just read Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of Silicon Valley. It was both eye-opening and cringe-worthy. The book explores the role of gender in the tech industry – at startups and vent…

Google — Year in Search 2024 YouTube video by Google

Google’s 2024 Search Wrapped - 👏 to the editors youtu.be/61JHONRXhjs

Passage from Carl Sagan’s A demon-haunted world book.

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

Ain’t that the truth.

This isn’t a spicy take but Google Photos year in review was way better than Spotify Wrapped. But hear me out: what if they partnered and combined both? 😮

Looking forward to following the journey!

This video is college nostalgia. Also, it’s wild to go read about the persistence of this song. According to wikipedia they released it a few times, once in 2004, twice in 2005, and finally in 2007. It wasnt nominated for a Grammy until 09. www.instagram.com/reel/DDGn-4v...

the “happy path” through a product experience rarely happens, and yet most product reviews assume it.
truth is that most engagement is careless engagement, and you must design products accordingly.

Rituals for hypergrowth: An inside look at how YouTube scaled A peek inside how YouTube tackled the 2008 to 2014 hypergrowth years with a unique set of rituals for everything from strategic planning to effective meetings.

I came across this Coda post from Shishir Mehrotra on YouTube’s planning cadence during their hyper growth phase.

I love this stuff. It’s great to see how certain rituals generated alignment and/or execution. It definitely leads to the wheels turning in my head.

Agreed. Interested to know which one you’d make a top buy as a gift for people?

Eh, at that point you know you have something worth building. A great business/product problem to have! He lived down the street from a shoe store i believe :)

These experiments always resonate with me. I really believe if we aren’t pushing Product Teams to learn as quickly as possible and in non-scalable ways we aren’t doing what’s best for them, the customer, or the business.

With a headline like that I assume you, like most of us fans, aren’t buying the hype? 😆

The prediction/betting markets seem to agree

The #Celtics game got a little too close for comfort. Glad they pulled it out. But knowing that pt differential means something that last bucket they gave up might come to haunt them 😬

I read recently on the idea of 6 week increments for delivering product work and driving outcomes. Similar to the 37Signals approach. I’m looking to hear from product folks who’ve tried to implement something similar and what you’ve learned.

#Celtics had a great first half. Gotta finish strong though!

Can we all agree the Texans should cover the -7 points today against the Cowboys?
