Forget fitting in.
You were born to stand out.
Fitting in ≠ belonging.
I stopped shrinking myself to be accepted—and found my people instead.
Here’s to the pattern breakers, the originals, the ones who dare to be real.

When the system rejected us, we built our own 🏳️🌈.
We turned exclusion into innovation.
Resistance into resilience.
Identity into impact.
We organized—in protest, in parties,
and now—in business.

If every company optimizes from the same AI insights, are we innovating or just competing in an AI echo chamber?

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks.

Already started moving over some things to Europe for both my company and my personal tech needs. What suggestions do you have for European products?

“Tech with Style” isn’t about chasing what tech is fashionable at the moment—it’s about finding your own style. Fashion you can buy, but style? That’s who you are. Use tech to amplify your style, not fit someone else’s idea of what is fashionable! #TechWithStyle

🎉 ChatGPT turns 2 today! In 2 years, it’s become my go-to for creativity, problem-solving, and breakthroughs. 🚀 Cheers to more ideas and impact! What’s one way you’ve used AI lately? Let’s share! 🥂

AI is absolutely a gamechanger. But those sky-high valuations? They’re starting to feel like a bubble waiting to pop. Both can be true at the same time.

Interesting article by the @nytimes.com: A small study found that #AI Tools like #ChatGPT are diagnosing faster and more accurately than doctors. Some fear automation, I am just thinking:
- No more waitlists
- Accurate, fast diagnoses
- A healthcare system that works

Outdated practices hold businesses back. Example: Everyone wants sustainable growth, but no one wants to break old habits.

It’s hard to believe that this man spreads so much hate and stupidity and yet keeps building stuff that works. SpaceX, Tesla, and now his AI. Either he is surrounded by brilliant people that keep him away from his businesses or he loves being a troll creating chaos in the world to fuck it up. #musk

“What you are not changing, you are choosing.”
Every day we make choices, even in our inaction. That recurring challenge? That delayed innovation? Choosing not to change is still a choice—and it can hold us back. Growth requires change!
