Cannot emphasize enough how cool this is for me personally

I wouldn’t say “known” (I’m not known really anywhere), but far and away my most popular tweet was of the egg I dyed to look like a Greek vase
Ukrainian-style egg, dyed to look like a Greek vase. Ukrainian-style egg, dyed to look like a Greek vase. Ukrainian-style egg, dyed to look like a Greek vase. Ukrainian-style egg, dyed to look like a Greek vase.

More of this please. Zuck has been styling himself as Caesar for years now and he needs to be called on it.
Quote from the article: “If you step back and look at the reasons why people — especially young men — seem to quote the classics, it’s a desire for power,” said Marcus Folch, associate professor of classics at Columbia University. “It articulates a desire for power.” It doesn’t take much imagination to see how Mr. Zuckerberg, guiding a millions-strong nation-state of app users, could fancy himself as a tech-age Tiberius. After all, he isn’t just quoting a Caesar in these shirts, he’s likening himself to him.

Really in an elite group here of cool cats and early adopters.
