If you want to be an innovator, you have to be comfortable looking stupid for a long time. You’re going to piss some people off and you’re going to get a lot of nos. That’s the only way to start having valuable breakthroughs.

@garrytan I had the same reaction in SF jury duty, it was a civics lesson. The judge was thoughtful and treated the jury room like the engaged and respectful Americans they were. It made me feel like a proud citizen.

Here's another one in jury duty training that seems to come up in a similar way: We need to treat individuals as individuals, not based on their affiliations or characteristics. Implicit bias training emphasizes that need to focus on the evidence and the facts of the case. This is literally the colorblind, individualist ideal. Judge people by the content of their character. It's the most American thing there is.

I'm in jury duty today. I am taken by how the basic training for jury duty discusses something that we take for granted: equal protection under the law Brown v. Board of Education and equal protection is literally one of the bedrock judgements that cements fair and equal access Yet our legislators forget this, and systematically fight this. They keep pushing forward things like ACA7 which would take away equal protection and use race-based preferences to allocate state funding and who gets to participate in things like gifted programs in schools. This is 100% against these principles, and I hope we live to see a day we stop having to fight those who would upend equal protection under the law. Protect fair equal treatment, regardless of race or any other distinction. It's a quintessential American law. 🇺🇸

"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war." Watch Martin Luther King Jr.'s Nobel Peace Prize speech, where he accepted the award on behalf of the American civil rights movement: bit.ly/3bJCQuc #MLKDay

What a long strange trip it’s been. 33 Dead shows for me and then we lost Jerry, but another 30 years of shows/experiences from @BobWeir extended that legacy to another generation, including my son Theo. This laminate in my backpack is from the last time I saw Bobby. #RIP

Few startups have a smooth ascent. Many if not most have some setbacks initially. The good ones react by focusing on specific steps they can take. The bad ones are vaguely hopeful, or depressed, or in denial — and change nothing.

We won! Texas is officially—and legally—more red. The Supreme Court restored the congressional redistricting maps passed by Texas that add 5 more Republican seats. The new maps better align our representation in D.C. with the values of Texas. nbcnews.com/politics/supre…
