Interesting cold emailing excercise:
Schedule send an email to yourself for 3-5 weeks from now about a topic you really want to spur action on but which you'll likely get complacent about (have you been building a habit, how have your thoughts developed on _______ etc)

@aaditsh have you tried tweeting without the word “literally”?
English
Not a real word. "Sonder" has never been used in a sentence before. It was invented on Reddit five years ago and the only time it's ever said is in relation to giving this definition.
What's the antonym to sonder?
What is the exact opposite word to this?

@ochodrinko85 Communication is the primary function of a phone, and the banner should reflect this

Beyond the ridiculous hyperbole, my classmates were, among all the people I’ve ever met, the *most* likely to listen to opposing viewpoints and change their mind when given new information.
They were also the least likely to blithely virtue signal like this.

A friend was asked to write a recommendation for his daughter who is applying to Yale. Worth a read. Dear , I am unwilling to write a letter of recommendation in support of your daughter's application to Yale. I no longer do that. It is not that I don't believe that she is qualified, on the contrary it is because I do. You wouldn't ask me to write a letter of recommendation for her admission to Hamas. But Yale is no different than Hamas, a cult that abides no disagreement, and a cult certain of its purpose and mission beyond reflection. Yale is potentially even more dangerous. Hamas will be defeated shortly. Yale will continue to send its graduates into positions of power for years. A recent study at Harvard found that roughly 50% of the students and professors wouldn't discuss "uncomfortable" topics. An essential life skill is the ability to change your mind. She won't learn that at any Ivy league school. Their reputations are still so strong that their faculty, staff and graduates all possess the arrogant certainty of religious fanatics. I am sorry to disappoint you. I wish her the best in her search for a school, Signed xxxxxxxxxx

@indexnforgetit Yeah, but the threat of having the agents probably leads to more honest tax reporting in the first place

If the US government hired 87,000 IRS agents as they say, with an average pay of $100k/yr
They spent $8.7billion to collect $1.3billion
There has never been a better explanation of how the government functions

The IRS has collected $1.3 billion from high wealth tax dodgers since last fall, per AP.

What's a normal angel or seed round like these days? Anyone have any good stats handy?

@ChrisJBakke Oh boy do I have a capital light, high margin, productized service business ready to sell to a Harvard MBA
But actually... If you're a searcher reading this I'm semi serious

People used to get an MBA from Harvard because they wanted to rule the world.
Now they get an MBA from Harvard to run a $2M search fund that spends 3 years to identify a laundromat in Michigan that they can buy for 7x earnings.
