The share of solopreneurs earning over $1M in revenue has more than tripled between 2021 and 2025.
Wtf these are amazing
These ai edits are getting good #NorwayVsEngland
Xbox division of $MSFT reducing by 3200 employees in the coming months; mostly from management layer and trimming several of their studios. Helen Chiang will move to COO and manage most games and hardware teams (she’s formerly head of Minecraft). A necessary simplification of the business; Xbox has long seemed bloated and directionless. Minecraft remains a monster growth engine and revenue driver, and seems King is doing well. Bethesda and Blizzard will also stay.
This is an important email I sent today to all employees at XBOX: Team, We are beginning the most significant restructure in XBOX history. After careful consideration, I've made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include

first nuclear power by a startup
Good morning. Last night at 8:51pm Mountain Time, the Valar Atomics Nuclear Operations team brought Ward 250 to 10kW thermal output. We held this power level throughout the night. This is another historic milestone from the Valar team, marking first nuclear power by a startup.

@eileenomara @patrickc @stripe @collision Congrats @eileenomara !
After seven extraordinary years building Stripe's go-to-market engine, I'm stepping into a new role: Vice Chair of @stripe. As Vice Chair, I'll represent the company with business, government, and policy leaders around the world, alongside @patrickc and @collision. The internet economy is at an inflection point. Governments, regulators, and multilateral bodies are making once-in-a-generation decisions about how digital commerce is regulated and enabled—decisions that will set the operating conditions for entrepreneurs for decades. Stripe serves millions of businesses in nearly every country on earth. We have both the standing and the responsibility to shape those decisions. That's what I'll be doing: engaging heads of government, trade bodies, and global business leaders to advocate for decisions that advance entrepreneurship and increase the economic dynamism that too many parts of the world have been starved of. I've spent the last 25 years of my career building things, teams, markets, relationships. This next chapter is about using all of that on behalf of the businesses that trust Stripe to power their growth. As I start this new role, I'm delighted to have @tybryson take over as Stripe's Chief Revenue Officer. Tyler brings two decades of experience building, scaling, and leading revenue-generating teams and has had a tremendous impact leading our Americas business. He knows our customers, understands what they need and we’re all very excited for his leadership as Stripe’s CRO. stripe.com/newsroom/news/…
@wcathcart Congrats Will. I’m excited to see what’s next for you
personally fond of "Vallejo", where u pronounce the double L like English but the j like Spanish 👍🏼
every city name in California has three ways to pronounce it: (1) the Spanish way (2) the way an English speaker would pronounce it if they hadn't heard the name before (3) the way locals actually pronounce it, which is neither of the previous two. like San Rafell and Beneesha
So many exec exits at deepmind. I wonder what’s up.
SITUATION DETECTED: John Jumper, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for AlphaFold along with Demis Hassabis, has left Google DeepMind to join Anthropic.
