Internet, please stop. Do your research.
Also, I don’t have a Twitter account. There seem to be scammers pretending as me, but there is nothing I can do, just please be careful.
Also get off X. It’s a cesspool. You shouldn’t be on there it’s 2025.

On AmTrak. The dude next to me opened up his laptop with an iPad and Apple Pencil. So, I’m like, oh, a fellow creative!

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

my TREND or RESPECT matrix. I’ve talked about this for years now, but I’m finally putting this into an actual matrix.
I want to be someone who get respected by those whom I respect.
Well, at least I can try. You can’t run a race without a goal. ❤️‍🔥🫶

Come see my talk Tuesday, or streamline
