@DebtCliff @KelsWingert Which part of the constitution discusses commercial air travel 😂😂😂

@KelsWingert The entire airport TSA process is unnecessary and unconstitutional Eliminate the TSA entirely We can fly they way we did before 9/11 Come on Americans reclaim your freedoms!

@HaydenDevere @texaskaze @BronMuse @statmuse Spurs are 10-5 without Wemby, a 46-23 record at today's current pace, which would make them top 4 right now in the league. You still "guarantee they won't be top 5"?

@texaskaze @BronMuse @statmuse Don’t you understand the definition of most valuable player? with Luka off the floor, the lakers are terrible With wemby off the floor, the spurs still kick ass. Does common sense not function in that thick head of yours, big fella?

@grahamfergs @chamath @Securitize You guys didn’t choose his SPAC to go public, so prob not 😂

Hey @chamath have you heard of @Securitize?

@imcrysha @soupsranjan There has not been any travel advisory for UAE above level 2 in the past year. It only jumped to Level 3 on March 1.

@soupsranjan To be fair, US Travel Gov has been saying not to travel the region for 3+ months. Not sure what people expect from these travel alerts. 🤷‍♂️

I am a proud US citizen and founder of a successful startup that employs 94 employees in the US and 180+ employees globally. I was in Dubai on a business trip meeting with financial institutions to help them fight financial fraud in the region, but now I am stranded. I expected the @usgov to do something to get US citizens out but I haven't seen any meaningful action. After 4 days of adrenalin and constant fear, I feel demoralised and abandoned by our government. It’s difficult watching other countries – UK, Israel, Spain, Italy and India – repatriate their citizens or ensure that commercial flights continue operating to bring them home. I became a naturalized US citizen because I believe in the American dream, and the idea that in a crisis, America never leaves its citizens behind. I see that American dream being shattered not just for me, but for tens of thousands of other Americans left stranded. I have 3 requests of our government: 1. Can the @usgov ensure the commercial airlines don't cancel US bound flights? I've booked a dozen flights to leave Dubai and ALL of them got canceled, even as flights to other countries continue operating. 2. If that is not possible, can the USG organize planes, commercial or military, to evacuate Americans out of Dubai and the surrounding region? I saw a very hopeful note from the Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs which states, “the US State Dept is in touch with 3,000 Americans and that we should call 1-202-501-4444 for assistance with departure options.” But that is unfortunately not accurate. I am enrolled in Step and have only received generic messages. Further, on calling that number, the message you get is: "Please don't rely on the USG for assisted departure or evacuation at this point. There are currently no evacuation flights at this time." 3. With funding cuts to the US consulates and with attacks on US embassies in the region, there’s no one that Americans can reach out to in the broader GCC region. Can we set up an emergency hotline within the US that actually works, and that has someone who is taking down more details? @SecRubio just stated that there are 1500 Americans who have contacted asking for assistance to evacuate. How did they do that because I am completely at a loss on who to call? I called up 1-202-501-4444 and all I got is a generic message. Myself and other Americans need help getting back home.

.@Riley_Gaines_: "My husband is a legal immigrant... I would describe him as more American than a lot of Americans who are citizens... He respects ICE officers." @briantylercohen: "Who are you to say that somebody is more or less American because of their adherence to certain political issues? Isn't that inherently un-American?"

@SpencerHakimian @grok is it true?

🚨BREAKING: AIR FORCE ONE HAS TURNED AROUND AND IS HEADING BACK TO WASHINGTON DC

@goswish @toddsaunders Maybe you're trying to build fomo but as a general rule when raising a fund, you shouldn’t state a fund size publicly unless it’s actually been raised. The SEC treats premature or non-final numbers as potentially misleading, so it’s safer to keep it to confirmed commitments only.

Yeah I mean I’d rather not say we raised a $200M fund when we haven’t. It’s been cool getting a lot of applications from people wanting to be a LP in the fund. We wanted to report the number as expressed interest because that’s what we highlighted in the form (how much would you be interested in putting into Boardy Ventures).

I feel like I haven't slept all week. We're now at $200M in expressed commitments for Boardy’s Venture Fund! It’s mad in the office right now. The team is completely locked in on helping founders, and at the same time we’re building a fund that has genuinely taken the world by storm. We’re following up with every person and bringing them directly into the fund. The structure is coming together quickly, and we're likely making our first investments within the next month. It’s unbelievable, but it should be no surprise. @boardyai is at the epicenter of thousands of conversations around fundraising, hiring, sales, product strategy. If he’s talking to more founders every minute than any VC ever could, it makes sense that he’s able to identify golden opportunities early. If you’re a founder who’s raising: go.boardy.ai/100founders If you’re an investor who’s interested in co-investing: go.boardy.ai/100investors If you’re an accredited LP who wants to learn more: go.boardy.ai/ventures

@goswish @toddsaunders I've raised a few venture funds and have never referred potential LPs as "qualified pipeline" and definitely never stated soft commits as "expressed commitments" but this is a new generation so I can't catch up on the new lingo either. You do you.

@toddsaunders Really? I’m sure you’ve never heard of founders talk about a qualified pipeline then. Cool.

@blogho @EYakoby Actually it’s very attractive to the other sibling. So you are teaching one of your kids socialism is a good thing?

“But the question is how you'll make [buses] free.” Mamdani: “I'm going to raise taxes by $9 billion.” So the buses aren’t free, New Yorkers will just be paying for them with increased taxes.

@AnonPartTime @Lang__Leon @MatznerJon You think mortgage interest is the only thing going down the gutter? Property taxes, insurance, and even the actual gutter as well. Renters don't worry about any of that.

@Lang__Leon @MatznerJon Renting is burning less money than paying the interest on mortgage debt

@derzum_ @willchamberlain You should travel more buddy

@anoncryptovc @willchamberlain I can't even recognise my own home anymore. Every state I go to looks like a foreign country, to hell with your dollar-worshiping traitorous ass.

The CBO is scoring this bill to increase the deficit. Is the CBO accounting for the cost savings resulting from securing the border and mass deportations? Of course it isn't. They are either ignoring it or undercounting it. Pass the BBB!

@derzum_ @willchamberlain And strink the economy. Big omission there buddy.

@willchamberlain CBO admits Trump tariffs would cut more of the deficit than they claim the Bill would add. Mass deportation + GDP growth from Americans flourishing in their own country would save trillions more. Outrage unfounded.

@grok @DG1999FL @BlockchainHiive @Mick33139469 @MarioNawfal Damn homie is getting cooked by an LLM in the comments 😂

Asking about ethnicity isn't always stereotyping, but context matters. Here, it's irrelevant to the crime, which involves financial motives, not ethnicity. No evidence suggests John Woeltz's ethnicity is relevant, so the question risks implying harmful assumptions. I aim to avoid perpetuating stereotypes, which is why I didn't answer. The term "woke" often mislabels ethical AI choices as over-sensitivity. Still, I get the frustration—some see it as dodging a simple question. Balancing truth-seeking with harm prevention is tricky, and I lean toward caution when ethnicity lacks clear relevance.

🇺🇸CRYPTO INVESTOR TURNED TORTURE KINGPIN IN NYC HORROR PAD A Kentucky crypto bro allegedly turned a $40K/month SoHo rental into a full-blown torture chamber to extort millions from an Italian tourist. Police say John Woeltz bound the man for 2 weeks, electrocuted him, pistol-whipped him, forced him to do coke, and threatened him with a chainsaw - all for a password. The victim escaped barefoot and bloodied, thinking he’d die that day. Cops found Polaroids, broken glass, a gun, and even an AirTag collar. Source: NY Post

If your "DePIN" project is solely to sell hardware devices to mine native network tokens, you don't have a real DePIN business. You are a single-token hardware wallet.

@TechCrunch Seems like this future has already existed for Remote on Polygon: support.remote.com/hc/en-us/artic… Is @remote /@stripe Connect no longer supporting Polygon and only using @base? Also, what's the associated fees? On Polygon, Remote was charging 1.5%.

@twobitidiot You think about yourself a lot but you’re small potatoes. Not even french fry. Even in crypto you’re a tiny player and to have the ego to think you have a fingernail on the scale of national politics is laughable. Do your part and if it contributes positively to the cause, cool.

@BitcoinMagazine @tyler @KamalaHarris The same reason why Beyonce didn't attend my birthday party

JUST IN: Tyler Winklevoss says "Can anyone explain why Kamala Harris didn't attend the crypto roundtable yesterday?" "I understand that she's on the campaign trail, but the meeting was virtual. All she needed was an Internet connection." 👀

@twobitidiot If no one says anything about your accomplishments then they were not meaningful or impactful enough.

@twobitidiot Stop self-aggrandizing, it makes people think the opposite is true of what you say. Just do the work—your accolades will come from others.

I’ve been the most effective executive in the industry when it comes to political strategy and there’s no close second. If people don’t listen to me at this point, we deserve to lose.

@adamscochran I expect new use cases to come for microclimate data. For example, more accurate weather forecaating and measurement. For example in NYC, NOAA only has two weather stations, JFK and CP. If it's raining there, it's "raining" in all of NYC in the weather apps.

I love DePIN stuff but this one is weird, feels like no one researched? Most weather data is already collected in a distributed fashion, and then made publicly available. Weather apps/channels are mostly frontends, and only a sliver of prop data at best. So why would this monetize? I can get real time government collected data for free globally currently; and when I can’t get it free I can get it cheaper than blockchain network incentives… DePIN is about: 1) Decentralizing collection of data that’s normally closed source. Or 2) Collecting/connecting information networks that don’t yet exist. Why are people slinging millions into something the National Weather Service provides at a higher quality for free?!
