Biden suing Sheetz convenience stores alleging the company’s criminal background check policy violates 1964 Civil Rights Act This coming from the same President who publicly said twice he would only consider black women candidates in his hiring These people are unserious
Unpopular opinion; as a VC it’s optimal to provide zero context for why you’re passing on a given deal

I 💯 agree with @LM_Braswell Each firm is diff but at @8vc ignore our associates at your own peril… Our associates: 1) are super impressive 2) all have path to partner (3 partners including me started there ;) 3) have massive influence over decision making on every deal

You all realize many venture greats started as associates, right? Seems short-sighted to be dismissive of associates as a group...

Amazing day that was a decade+ in the making. Ive been so impressed watching @ZacBookman and @JTLonsdale build @OpenGovInc from a non-profit to the leading software provider to cities & states Most startups avoid working w govts bc it’s so hard. Takes special people to do this

“If your employer pays you $20 per hour… your labor produces more for the employer at the end of the day than $20 worth” - Angry Professor Guy The angry professor guy clearly has never looked over the financials of mid “tech-enabled service” VC startups from 2020-2022… 🫠

Nothing against UFC but if @budlight is serious about repairing the brand they need to pay penance directly to the people they’ve alienated: 1) close NYC office & move all execs back to MO 2) double pay for their US-based blue collar workers 2) 10% of profits to veteran support
.@SenWarren @FTC how is this your priority? 4 airlines that collude, price discriminate & use regulators to kill competition (eg JSX) 5 health “insurers” so fully verticialized they’re also our largest pharmacies, PBMs & providers And you chose sub sandwiches. Please do better

Independent BoD controlling a 501c3 controlling a GP LLC controlling a HoldCo owned by investors, employees and the 501c3, that owns a capped profit co which MSFT also owns but its controlled by the GP LLC Founders, this settles it. No more lawyers on the ayahuasca trips

I remember thinking and saying it was very likely this came from the Wuhan lab, getting pushback for “disinformation”, then dropping it. Like the implications of different median IQ of cohorts, society is irrational and dumb about many aspects of reality. Good to see the recap.
🧵THREAD🧵 Do you remember how bad the media’s “Covid lab leak” - the hypothesis that the virus came from a lab - coverage was? I thought I did. But it was a more dramatic example of uniform media malpractice than even I remembered. So I revisited it. Buckle in, it’s long. ⤵️

Imagine if the Republican party had Mitt Romney or John McCain running this race. We'd be talking about a red wave. Instead they went full crazy and embraced the worst elements of the base. That's why the Dems still have a real shot. Trump is actually a terrible candidate.
Tax on unrealized gains. Our adversaries could not have come up with an idea on how to screw American innovation forever, take long term thinking and investing and turn it into short term panic. Destroying investment and markets. Fucking insane crazy. Unconstitutional too.

University of Texas President: “Our University will not be occupied.” Perfect word choice to drive the Palestine protesters nuts.
We re-took the SF Democratic Party. This is what that looks like.
Last week I was honored to be sworn in to the leadership of @SFDemocrats! We immediately passed a resolution authored by me and Lily Ho declaring public safety a fundamental right and supporting an accountable, responsive, and fully staffed SFPD. Next stop, November!
Is this "extremely hardcore?"
This is a shocking review of what its like to work at Bytedance. Is it really worth encouraging a company like this to continue operating in the US? Are these the values we should be encouraging?
