- @lens/phaver this is saying my accounts are connected but they clearly are. Any advice on what I should do?
- Bro my Phaver bugging and I’m sad
- On a win streak. End game definitely improving. Middle game solid, definitely used pins and skewers way more over the last 2 games. Had to learn how to avoid the stalemate though
- I’ll probably start practicing as black next week. Caro Kahn is what I have my eyes on, but we’ll see
- According to the feedback, my middle game is strong but my openings suck. The kings gambit is a bit tricky to play. But I’m getting better with it. I wanted a strong e4 opening so here we are
- I’ve lost an embarrassing number of chess matches to the computer… but I will master the kings gambit
- You a hater. Our banter funny
- I’m not a major fan or banter. But it’s useful because it shows we are human. Anywho, I was outvoted and we didn’t cut anything out thanks to @lens/lawsn & @lens/neplusultra. Except really bad things.
In this podcast we discuss Polygon and its fall from Glory, as it was the top low fee EVM chain of last cycle, to its current state.
- Coffee crusted steak > Parmesan crusted steak
- @lens/lawsn when you reply to this I’ll drop the next podcast
- The thing about reading nonfiction books is this:
The core point of each chapter can be gotten in one paragraph. The rest of each chapter just adds examples and evidence. Even worse is when the whole book is understood in the first chapter.
- Opened Twitter . Saw hella negativity. Closed it. Opened firefly. Typed this message

- Okay I know I said I was gonna play my first chess game like a week ago, but I didn’t. I did today tho and I WON.
- Just finished rereading pay off by Dan Ariely for like the 4th time . There are many points in the book but one that stood out was trust. So much of life is dependent on trust, yet we conveniently forget it as stakes raise. Naturally. L

🌎 $USDt in TON will have on-ramps for most currencies around the world.
Soon an Off-ramp will be integrated to withdraw money to any bank.
The goal is to have a better digital alternative than traditional financial services.
- @lens/seliqui whats fraction token? And how can I support?
- I'm gonna be a bit harsh and long:
First off, I truly believe $BONSAI is the best thing that has ever happened to Lens. However, I'm starting to get a bit fed up with the $BONSAI collection posts. Of course, I also post one every few days, but currently, I feel that Lens is starting to become a bit oversaturated. My feed is literally nothing else but pictures can be collected for $BONSAI. I've always appreciated creators who've used Lens to share their work long before the current trend, many of whom I follow and whose work I genuinely enjoy. But now, it seems like everyone has turned into a visual artist or creator (yes, sometimes also me). I think we need conversations about crypto, tech, DeFi, news, markets, lifestyle, global trends, everything. Where are these content creators and community members? I believe we need their voices if we aim to attract a broader audience. Platforms like Twitter and Farcaster seem to handle this better. Am I in the wrong place?

- 🥩 ‘d
- They say that all your old girls got somebody new . I said damn really?
- I’ve been absent for a few days working on this new piece that explores how mimetic desire drives the desire for specific gym attire, influencing both physical aspirations and clothing choices. It discusses the impact of mimetic desire on individual performance, alongside theories like self-affirmation and enclothed cognition, which shed light on the psychological effects of clothing. Ultimately, it emphasizes the complex relationship between social influences, clothing, and personal performance in the gym.
You might not even choose the clothes you wear but it affects your performance all the same.
Check it out. Share it. Collect it. Leave feedback. Start a dialogue.

- The vibez are getting higher and higher on Lens 💫
- I’m a Grizz fan but I want the lakers to get this one. Big mountain to climb, but that’s a Mounrain GOAT’s habitat.
- Curated not created. But somebody besides me has to laugh.
- I thought today was an off (not great) day.
- Tomorrow I’ll make my chess debut. I’ve obviously played chess before but I’ve never taken the time to learn the intricacies and tactics. Until now
- If anybody knows any onchain chess games let me know!
- Been a minute since I posted. But haven’t missed the gym yet.
- Chicago has a FRONT court . Goodness
- Just got off the phone with Zach Kleinman and we agreed to draft Bronny James in the second round.
- Its official . I’m climbing a 14er this summer
- Anywho, maybe we’ll figure it out. Maybe. Maybe.
- How do you convince a bunch of left brainer who subscribe to efficiency gospel to allow this organic albeit inefficient thing to happen? The data supports that it pays off exponentially, but it’ll be hard to shift a dogma they’ve lived by for years
- Relationships are messy & beautiful. you can’t necessarily expect to be efficient in building them or it becomes this inorganic very superficial thing. So the challenge now is figuring out how tf do we convince leadership that relationships are very important AND not efficient
- So I’m in this meeting at work when I realize something that I’ve felt for a while but never materialized:
We’re over- optimized for efficiency. So now when we’re trying to think through how do you build meaningful relationships, it’s nearly impossible.
- High score things.
- Thinking about web3, I’m sorta salivating at the prospect of it all. Think about onboarding. How can we build the decision architecture to bring people into the space seamlessly. How can we frame a protocol, so that the lay person understands. Uncharted water
- But to connect the dots on my random stream of consciousness, choice and decision architecture is very much one of those behavioral pieces of marketing. How we pose a question, how we frame an idea, the number of options. All CA. All marketing.
- It’s damn near comical when you think about it. I fell in love with marketing for the behavioral component of it and the creative part, but marketing in 2024 is more left brain than right. Or at least agency marketing is.
