When I win the lottery, the first thing I’ll do is buy a traditional Lebanese house.

Social media has given people so much audacity. Mid-twenties, calling themselves founders, CEOs and entrepreneurs on TikTok already giving everyone advice on how to run a successful business. You’ve barely started!!!!

Every business wants to target Gen Z, creating content for them and products that fit their lifestyle. Meanwhile, Gen Z is working remotely, freelancing, building a side hustle, healing their Lebanese trauma, and still can’t afford eggs.

Classics never go out of style. I keep losing my wireless earphones, so these wired Apple ones are still my favorites. Cheaper, no charging needed, and back in style again.

Getting older has made me less interested in winning arguments with people who enjoy having them.

When your meeting comes with this view and you can’t wait for it to end so you can snap a photo! My Beirut 🤍

Are we watching the dot-com bubble of 2000 happen all over again with AI? Huge promises, money pouring in, and everyone afraid of missing out. How much of it will survive the hype?
نزيف أسهم الذكاء الاصطناعي والرقائق بعد فوز الديمقراطيين ليس لأن الشركات مملوكة او تمول الجمهوريين فقط. تاريخياً، تبرعات موظفي وشركات التكنولوجيا الكبرى تميل للديمقراطيين. لكن في السنوات الأخيرة (خاصة بعد عودة ترامب) زاد تقارب بعض التنفيذيين (مثل ماسك، وبروكمان من OpenAI، وأندريسن هورويتز، وتبرعات شركاتية للبيت الأبيض) مع الجمهوريين للحصول على بيئة تنظيمية أخف. هذا تقارب نفعي. الشركات عامة، وملكيتها موزعة. أما الضغط الديمقراطي فيأتي من ارتفاع فواتير الكهرباء والمياه، ومعارضة محلية لمراكز البيانات، ومخاوف من فقدان الوظائف، واستراتيجية انتخابية نجحت في استغلال هذه القضايا. السوق يسعّر تباطؤاً محتملاً في بناء البنية التحتية، لا انهياراً في الطلب على الذكاء الاصطناعي نفسه. في الأمد المنظور: تقلبات عالية حتى تتضح السياسات الفعلية. الشركات الأقوى مالياً قد تتكيّف، بينما الأكثر اعتماداً على الديون والتوسع السريع ستبقى تحت ضغط. #الذكاء_الاصطناعي #أسواق_المال #Nvidia #مراكز_البيانات #الانتخابات_الأمريكية #TechStocks #Midterms2026

Experience makes the work easier. A project that would’ve stressed me out years ago feels manageable now because I know where to start and what to look out for. And when I’m working with the right people, I actually look forward to it.

بعد فوز الديمقراطيين في الانتخابات النصفية، انقلب السوق الأمريكي رأساً على عقب. خسرت الأسهم الأمريكية أكثر من تريليوني دولار من قيمتها السوقية في ساعات، مع تراجع حاد في أسهم الذكاء الاصطناعي والرقائق (Nvidia وAMD وTesla وغيرها). S&P 500 محى مكاسب اليوم السابق، والقلق يتصاعد من قيود محتملة على مراكز البيانات. هل سيتضرر قطاع الذكاء الاصطناعي في المدى المنطور ؟ أم أنها مجرد تصحيح؟ #وول_ستريت #أسواق_المال #الذكاء_الاصطناعي #S&P500 #Nvidia #TechCrash #Midterms2026

Shall we send them a few of our Lebanese politicians? Ours have spent decades in power and still ask who’s running the country. 🇱🇧
I mean it's good that Trump got a kicking but let's not pretend the Democrats are some revolutionary outfit that spent decades in the wilderness

I’ve never liked this fruit, but I’d happily use it in a set design, photoshoot or a table setting. Can you guess what it’s called!

Analogue is having a moment, and I love it. People are buying vinyl, shooting on film and carrying paperbacks again. I’m all for digital, but it’s everywhere now, and I miss things you can actually hold. Even at a restaurant, I’d rather open a paper menu than scan a QR Code.

The craftsmanship in Lebanon and the attention to detail are exceptional. Before launching my bags, I made one for myself to test the quality firsthand, and the result was everything I hoped for. “Made in Lebanon” shouldn’t mean cheap. When something is made with quality materials and the finest finishing, its price should reflect that. Some of the world’s finest haute couture houses come from Lebanon, too. And please don’t compare fast fashion to pieces handmade by Lebanese artisans. Support locals.

It took me a month to hack the Twitter algorithm. Yes, I still call it Twitter. I’ve been tweeting since 2011, back when we used to go to tweetups. If you have to Google “tweetup,” you’ve just made me feel old. Last month, I challenged myself to bring my account back to life. Posting regularly was the obvious part. What seemed to make a difference was sticking around after I tweeted, replying to other people’s posts and actually having conversations. I’m still wondering if the subscription gave me a little push, but this week a few of my tweets went viral. I’d say the account’s alive again.

I’m curious how much this rebranding cost and whether we’ll end up paying for it through new taxes. A logo we never asked for, with a bill we’ll probably get.
No reliable electricity. No running water. No access to our own savings in the banks. Israeli drones hovering overhead. Our land still occupied. But rejoice! #Lebanon government has unveiled its brand-new visual identity. Perhaps it needed one. After all, it seems to have lost its identity altogether.
