What a year at @remilabs. 2025 saw us grow the business 5x, grow the team to 170, and launch two massive new sales channels. But the numbers don't tell the whole story. This video should help fill in the gaps. @adamadamadamdam and @20mikemike_ created this for our annual party. Remi requires a high degree of your emotional and intellectual bandwidth. The quality of this video is a perfect example of the heart and focus our team brings to the table every day across many disciplines. If you want to push yourself to do the best work of your life, check out our hiring page. P.S. @LiquidDeath, we have a problem. Watch the video to see the extent of the addiction.

Gotta hand it to Apoorva and Tony on this DoorDash/Instacart merger messaging. Positioning this as “arming the rebels” is fine art. The $100B behemoth is now the underdog against Walmart and Amazon, while simultaneously positioning the acquisition for regulatory approval. 🧑‍🍳 💋

Today, we are announcing an agreement to acquire ADT. Home security has the qualities we look for in the businesses we own: an essential service built on specialist expertise and earned trust. We see an opportunity to build on that foundation for decades, investing in its people and technology to deliver the best outcomes for customers. Our ambition is to help ADT define the next era of trusted home security. thriveholdings.com/thrive-ho…

It looks like Google search as a marketing platform will fade into the abyss unless something meaningfully changes (not likely at this point). Whichever company fills the demand response gap (will it be Meta with Muse?) will go on a generational run. Marketing matters. Product purists hate it. Makes them feel yucky. But it drives the whole economy and consumers love it.

Loyal Delta customers should not listen to this podcast.
United CEO Scott Kirby joins @benthompson and me to break down the airline business: justifying big capex, how they do route planning, what other CEOs screw up, the Starlink decision, why everyone misunderstands the credit card economics, and lots more.

Wedding day. Ignore the noise and start a family. Have kids early and often. Life’s greatest joy by a mile.

Absolutely bizarre to see Apple enter a product category that was exciting in 2016.

David Geffen to Ari Emanuel “Just merge with William Morris, get in traffic and get hit.” That’s just about the best startup advice you will ever hear.

Kalshi and Polymarket: We are not sports gambling apps! Any Kalshi or Polymarket ad: the odds on KC this weekend are lit! Tell on themselves every time.

Anthropic has successfully given the Democrats a beautiful platform they can use to win the 2028 election. AI is now the enemy. It will capture the hearts and minds of the majority of Americans. AI, data centers, and evil, dangerous, greedy capitalism will be blamed for nearly every problem in America. They will successfully distance themselves from the Mamdani DSA wing. And they will win in 2028. Socialism will have greater than 50% support by Americans. Absolute master class in public relations by the Anthropic team this past week.

The TBPN purchase was worth it for OpenAI just to have John and Jordi help shape Sam’s comms strategy. What a world of difference they’ve made

This isn’t damning for the Dodgers. It’s an indictment of the loser owners in baseball.
Lowest ERAs since 2022 (minimum 50 starts): Tarik Skubal, 2.46 👀 Paul Skenes, 2.51 Blake Snell, 2.61 👀 Shohei Ohtani, 2.65 👀 Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 2.70 👀
