Thoughts and prayers for all the antisemites furiously updating their infographics to keep up with the new social media apps

@jowyang Back in the day I would’ve notice this tweet immediately - now I find it two weeks later 😜 Honored to be among the first ;)

When I joined Twitter, there were few people on, we could read every tweet. iPhone was a few years away, so web only. It was 99% Silicon Valley startups. We used to do cereal bar meetups at Southpark, blogger dinners, and events at Arrington’s backyard at “TechCrunch” The only people on Twitter I know that were on before me are @debs, @irinaslutsky @ekai @Scobleizer (who invited me). I’ve met privately with Jack and Ev, but doubt they’ll recall. Damnit! I’m old, have you seen my glasses?

@sarahdrinkwater It’s crazy. AQI was 413 in NYC an hour ago - I don’t remember it ever being that high when I lived thru SF fires

California lives in the future, in the best & worst possible ways. 11am, Sept 9 2020, Oakland. Unforgettable. Sending solidarity east coast. This is a global crisis.

Found this insane treasure trove at Moms - AppleSoft tutorial, Bowie on a Yahoo Magazine and a never opened AOL CD promo proving — as we suspected at the time — they are everywhere

You cannot make this sh*t up: A cosponsor of Missouri’s abortion ban, voted to block the enforcement of ordinances against cat declawing because, "lawmakers shouldn’t have the right to interfere in cats’ private medical decisions." stltoday.com/opinion/editor…

What the heck is a woke bank?🤦🏻‍♀️ Can we at least agree woke has ‘jumped the shark’

@arctictony @Larakate @Reddit @sarahrosen Yes! And I am torn on encouraging @Reddit in this moment. Worried if not done smartly and authentically it will implode in pursuit of scale and lose opportunity and it’s existing home of being a healthy digital space.

I think @Reddit has a huge opportunity to win right now — and has always been a destination for true fans. Biggest and best first step: hiring the best in the game. Congrats @sarahrosen variety.com/2023/digital/n…

A pitch for humility about AI, @random_walker to @WillOremus: "...be more comfortable with accepting that we simply don’t know for sure how a lot of these emerging developments are going to play out." washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

elevator pitch: grown up Hardy Boys but they’re a fucking mess

@SolTwoPointO @jerrymichalski @umairh My non professional observation has always been that I trace every narcissistic or fascist human back to not being hugged enough as children.

The one insight @umairh doesn't draw from this is that it shows how pathetically WEAK fascists are. They're so full of hate that they have to make up these grotesque stories about everyone else because otherwise their whole worldview collapses eand.co/why-do-the-fas…

@KatieS @htaneja @msuster Indeed!! 🤞founders and VC will have elephant memories but not holding my breath.

We saw the best & worst of venture capital over the past few days: Best: ppl like @htaneja & @msuster who led support for the ecosystem & pushed for a fast & fair resolution. Worst: those who accelerated the run & spread false/uninformed opinions. At least there is clarity.☀️

Left out of #inMemoriam: Topol, Anne Heche, Charlbi Dean Kriek (from Triangle of Sadness), Tom Sizemore, Cindy Williams, Paul Sorvino, Lisa Marie Presley and TV actors like #lesliejordan. Isn't there someone on #Oscars staff who checks all this stuff up to the last minute?

@mirajacob @ebboyd The only people cut off in numerous awards where women - so infruriating. And the only time Kimmel noticed was when it was a man

@brooke So happy - horses and humans forever ;) So nice that you know them! Must be amazing humans!!!

I am crying. I am abso crying. My friends Matthew and Charlie won an Oscar. And they gave one of the great speeches. And they both thanked their dogs. My heart. #theboythemolethefoxandthehorse #Oscars

Yay! Love Charlie! Horses and humanity - love Charlie! and such beautiful film and message #Oscars

This is how ya do it! [and IMHO the difference with women led VC’s] Instead of repeating the echo chamber - reaching out to provide concrete tactical help!

The #svb nightmare is scary for startups - wonder what it’s like to be at #sxsw while this is going on - more drinking than usual, I’d imagine. Ripple effects will be real. Thinking positive thoughts for all well run startups impacted.
