I’m probably going to lose followers. I’m probably going to cost myself money.
What’s happening in Minneapolis is fascism. This is literal death of democracy stuff.
Americans are being murdered in the street by the federal government.
If you care more about your tax rate than fascism coming to the US, I don’t know what to say.
I love America. I love what it stood for. Democracy. Rule of law. A country where a kid who had his father die as a child, who had a drug addict mother, who was homeless as a teenager, was able to work his ass off and become a multimillionaire.
It’s going to be so hard to get that back. But we must. Ronald Reagan called America a shining city on a hill.
We aren’t that any longer.

Universal Music Group and Snapchat signed a long-term deal for both music licensing and augmented reality experiences.
This is the label’s dream. They want music distribution to be fragmented.

in an office hours meeting today, a founder asked me a question I'd never gotten before:
"if a founder reaches out to you about their startup, what do you look at online to decide if you want to take the meeting?"

One of my most favorite business models coming out of Asia finally has a name: Real Time Retail (per @mbrennanchina). Right now, SHEIN is the poster child of this new biz model. If you don’t know what SHEIN is, ask a teenager -- it's the most downloaded shopping app in the US!
