My mantra for 2025: I am but one person. I cannot affect global or national politics. I can vote. I can donate. I can volunteer. I can provide for my daughter and family. I can positively affect the lives of those around me.

Is it worth upgrading my wifeโ€™s iPhone 15 now? I assumed sheโ€™d jump to the 18, but rumors point to a 2027 release instead of Sept. 2026. If thatโ€™s true, Iโ€™m guessing iPhone's will be way more expensive by then...

Today's announcements from Reddit make me even more confident about the direction @postpone.app is going with our Reddit integration. Get all the benefits of scheduling ahead, finding the best post times, organizing content, and getting post analytics with the safety of notification-based posting.

Reddit is cracking down on automated accounts. If your scheduling tool posts via API, your account is at risk. Postpone uses notification posting. Create your schedule ahead of time, get a ping when it's time to post to Reddit. No automation risk. Learn more: www.postpone.app/blog/reddit-...

You ever wanted a sandwich so bad you paid $300 for it, despite having $50,000 in credit card debt? Anyway, congrats to Paramount on acquiring Warner Bros.

One of my favorite features we've added to @postpone.app in quite a while. Paste a link to your blog post, changelog, whatever. We'll fetch it and write a full multi-post thread for you, ready to post across Bluesky, Threads, X, or Mastodon.

Paste a blog post URL into Postpone and we'll turn it into a ready-to-schedule social media thread. โœจ

One cool feature of Postpone is that we don't work with ICE.

Mitch Goldstein@mgoldstein.nyc

Hootsuite has issued CEO letter on the company's continued working with ICE and other US gov. agencies. TL;DR: "What we're seeing is wrong. Yes we work with ICE. No we don't track you. Will we continue working with ICE? No comment." www.hootsuite.com/letter-from-...

Only you can define what "success" means. Don't let anyone else do it for you. For me, "success" means I am making enough money to live a comfortable lifestyle, spending tons of time with my family, enjoying hobbies like cooking and piano, and am happy more often than not.

I did a Rivian test drive a few weeks ago. The person before me, the couple after me, and myself all pulled up in our Teslas. ๐Ÿ™ƒ Anecdotal, of course, but perhaps a decent amount of Tesla owners are looking to switch to Rivian. The R2 really canโ€™t come soon enough.

This week we launched our biggest visual refresh yet! ๐ŸŽจ Our new design is a bit flatter, a bit more colorful, and way more inviting. Think less "boring business tool" and more "as fun as the social platforms you're actually posting to." (1/2)

I've taken up an unlikely but really fulfilling hobby as a solo founder... cooking. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿณ Here's why I recommend it to SaaS founders: Software is never finished. It is intangible. You can work on it for years and years, but it's never done and you can never truly touch it and hold it.

Six months ago I told my wife I wanted to get better at cooking, and the only way I could think of is to completely 100% take over cooking all dinners. She (perhaps unsurprisingly) obliged.

Since then I have cooked nearly every dinner in our house. What started frustrating slowly become more fun as I got better at it. So if you're feeling stuck creatively, or if you need short-term wins to go with your long-term software and company plans, then try cooking every night.

For me, there's something a bit unsatisfying about that. Postpone has improved a lot, and I'm quite proud of it in many ways, but as software there really is no end to it.

Cooking, on the other hand, has an end state in just a few minutes or hours. It is inherently creative. There is an infinite amount to learn and tons of skills to build. The result is tangible; you can see, smell, touch, and taste food. Plus it nourishes people you care about.

Finally watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi yesterday. It left me feeling inspired to work hard and take pride in my work, while simultaneously never wanting to let work get in the way of my relationship with my daughter.

100% agree with this. I unironically think this will be Bluesky's biggest cap on growth. The default Bluesky experience has to be algorithmic and has to be good or else users walk.

i wonโ€™t use another feed out of principle. itโ€™s ridiculous. i shouldnโ€™t have to change the default experience. if bluesky canโ€™t get the default experience appealing, itโ€™s not my problem
