5 Tweet Tuesday - August 18, 2026
💎 5 Tweet Tuesday 💎
My favorite 5 tweets of the week. Let’s dive in:
#1 💎
I think this is an important idea, and we don’t even have a word for it.
For example, we have the word “grit” to describe being tough during the journey.
What word is there for being happy while figuring things out? It’s like grit - except instead of clenching your teeth, you’re able to smile at the progress, the challenge, and laugh at the mistakes you make along the way.
#2 💎
Rule #1 of this newsletter is “no clicks”.
Well, Rule #2 is “sometimes rules are made to be broken”. This is one of those times.
Click this and scroll/read. It’s amazing. Will change the way you see the world. One of the best blogs of the year.
#3 💎
We need a DOGE-like department but just for replacing American phrases with cooler, better phrases from other languages every 4 years.
Sure, it would require some effort and federal funding…but as we (now) say here in America, the only free cheese is in the mouse trap!
#4 💎
There’s plenty of room at the top.

#6 💎 Brought To You By Mercury
It’s 2026 and I can run my whole life from my phone - I can order a couch, a car, or a coconut from Sri Lanka in two taps.
But visit your local bank and you’ll see they’re still stuck in the 60’s (the little pens are still chained to the desks too!)
That’s probably why over 300,000 entrepreneurs have switched over to using Mercury.
Mercury is banking** that finally works. You can send wires, pay bills, issue invoices, manage cards — all in one place. No phone calls, no "please visit your nearest branch." And if you've got a team, you can give your bookkeeper access without handing them the launch codes.
It’s free to start, there’s no minimum balance, and you can apply online in minutes.
**Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust®; Members FDIC.
