Dear straight people: today Same-Sex Marriage is being signed into Federal law. So, if that’s ok:
1. Let us have our day.
2. Keep your concern-trolling to yourself
3. Take the opportunity to educate yourself on how the three powers work.
Thanks! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 – at Austin, TX

I’ll just go ahead a say it. Turns out that most people find reading and sharing fake news more fun than real news. And businesses responded by giving people what they want. Sometimes people want shit in large doses that’s bad for them.

In a million years, I never thought I would feel this, let alone Tweet this, but I would not recommend any person work at Twitter nor any brand advertise on Twitter given this toxic takeover.

For anyone who missed it or doesn't want to believe it, here's a top-of-my-head list of the moments of casual anti-semitism in Chappelle's SNL monologue:

This whole crypto debacle makes Elizabeth Holmes seem like a visionary. Her fraud was at least pretending to solve an actual hard problem.

The early crypto skeptics deserve more credit.
Not only did they call all of this, they did so in the face of constant shaming and harrassment. (Not to mention everyone pointing to the increasing value of their crypto wallets as evidence that they were wrong.)

The problem with Sequoia isn’t just how much💰 they lost, it’s how they lost it: behaving like a bunch of feral fanboys with no discernment. It really is not a flex to tell LPs it’s okay they behaved like that because they have so much money they can continue to behave like that.

What if, and I’m just spitballing here, the issue with FTX was the normalization of trading fake assets that anyone can invent out of thin air with no regulation and that have no underlying value. Nope, can’t be it.

currently an emergency twitter all-hands going on with Elon Musk answering employee Q's
Elon was asked: "How are you going to deal with the expected attrition and align everyone on a shared vision?"
Elon Answer: "I don't know....we all need to be more hardcore."

1/ Just want to put this news in plain language for people.
Senior people at Twitter have resigned in the last 48 hours. We now now why. They said in private Slack channels that @elonmusk is so desperate to recoup his money, he’s taking crazy risks with YOUR privacy and safety.

Today 11k employees will no longer have healthcare coverage.
We need to seriously reconsider employer sponsored healthcare.

The GoP in Texas has been in power since 1995, 27 years. All of their ads are saying "vote for us so we can fix everything that is broken in Texas". Again, they have been in power for 27 years had have fixed ZERO.

Show me a pre-seed stage company and I will find 100 reasons why not to invest.
Pre-seed investing is not about what if things go wrong, but what if they go right.

Another interaction from last night:
“AOC, How did you become worth $29 million dollars??”
“Sir, I wish. My financial disclosures are public. I still owe ~$18k in student loans.”
“I saw it on GOOGLE”
“Not everything on the internet is true”
Then he stormed out?? 🤷🏽♀️

VCs that lack original thinking and take credit for the work of others?!
I, for one, am shocked
Turns out that ghostwriting tweets for venture capitalists is a booming cottage industry. I talked to someone who's doing quite well at it ... businessinsider.com/twitter-…
