Waiting longer for ride shares in DC? Data analysis by @AVGregR shows youre not alone. Wait times 2x 2015, despite more drivers. AV rideshare like @Waymo would reduce waits, improve safety wo threatening jobs. So why are JLG, some on DC council/unions really opposed?

2. It's not just a driver shortage. Here's the twist: there are more active TNC drivers in DC now than in 2019. Peak hours saw 3,631 unique drivers in 2025 vs. 3,419 in 2019. The system recovered, but waits are still 50% longer. Demand has outrun supply – maybe permanently.

1. Rideshare wait times in DC are up 50% since 2019. In 2019, the median DC ride-hailing wait was 8 minutes. By 2025, it was 12 minutes. Every day of the week, all day. That's not just a bad day/night, it's the new normal – and probably worse in under-served neighborhoods.

What is your favorite LIV-related moment over the past four years? The more absurd, specific or forgotten about, the better.

“The most amusing outcome is the most likely.”

OPINION: “It happens” might be the closest thing San Francisco has to an official policy on traffic deaths. Why, then, are officials so focused on Waymo’s safety, William Riggs asks. sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

@RonConway Thinking of you, Ron. You’ve got this.

I want to share some difficult news. I was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and I want you to hear it directly from me. Treatment is starting immediately and will include multiple strategies over the course of about a year. While I will be stepping back from some of my usual activities, I will continue to support SV Angel founders, who I love with a passion. SV Angel remains unchanged. Topher has made all of our investment decisions for the better part of the last decade, and Ronny joined as Managing Partner in 2024. They bring experience from nearly every major technology cycle in Silicon Valley and are now focused on partnering with founders building the future of AI. SV Angel has a deep, experienced team that remains fully focused on supporting exceptional founders. With a more focused and balanced schedule, I can prioritize treatments while helping SV Angel founders at inflection points like we always do! I’ve chosen not to share the specific type of cancer since I don't want speculation about my prognosis. I appreciate your understanding and respect for this. I am optimistic about my prognosis. I am fortunate to have the best/amazing team of UCSF doctors in San Francisco, and as you know, I never back down from a fight. Thank you for your support, it means a great deal to me.

The federal government should "preempt" cities and states to set standards for autonomous vehicles, @SecDuffy tells @ShelbyTalcott. "Now that we don't, New York has a right to say 'We don't want Waymo' ... but I would just say this technology is coming, and my view is that we should help facilitate the innovation and the innovators should be in America."

@arpitrage AV truthers lol

It’s tempting to argue with the AV truthers who doubt the safety statistics and possibility of mass deployment, but there’s really no point. This view will simply be discredited as scaling laws continue their advance.

Reporting throughout the day suggests that LIV has a liquidity problem. What's wild about that is PIF provided $266.6M in funding to LIV on February 1. While we don't know what that investment went on top of in LIV's bank, a recent @moneyingolf report suggests LIV's burn rate is $100M per month or approximately 2.5 months for $266.6M. We are 2.5 months on from February 1 and LIV allegedly cannot pay its bills which suggests they are near empty and have no meaningful revenue. If PIF will sustain LIV's operations throughout the rest of the season, they'll need to pay quickly. If this math is in the ballpark, expect an investment in the range of $400-500M to keep operations running as usual. x.com/NUCLRGOLF/stat…

Was the technical reason an empty bank account?

I heard LIV missed a payment to players. I don't know if that is true.

@Sean_Zak $266.6M is 2.5 months of runway if they are spending $100M per month as reported here. moneyinsport.substack.com/p/pif-approves… Wonder what the January investment was on top of in the bank.

As to LIV Golf's viability moving forward, here is the most recent capital injection, dated Feb. 1, the first week of its season. $266.6 million, signed for by Yasir Al-Rumayyan on behalf of the PIF. If it's the final PIF investment, at least it was a big one.

@ProGolfCritic @BlakeKnowsBets Ok then

@bricaul @BlakeKnowsBets No.

Holy shit…. Fellas the PGA Tour is so fuckin back. LETS GOOOOOOOOO

@ProGolfCritic @BlakeKnowsBets Why don’t you tell us what you’ve heard? I shared what I heard. Think it’s better for everyone to just get this stuff out there.

@BlakeKnowsBets PGAT still completely sucks.

@Top100Rick x.com/bricaul/status…

Oh goody! Love me a teaser! Any predictions? LIV shutting down? Buying DP World Tour? Merge with PGA Tour? Other?

@TWlegion x.com/bricaul/status…

What do you think the bombshell is? 👀

@acaseofthegolf1 x.com/bricaul/status…

Ive heard from multiple sources that a bombshell announcement on LIVs future is imminent. We don't give out gambling advice but If your’re a prediction market type person I would bet the under of whatever they have posted.

@NUCLRGOLF @acaseofthegolf1 x.com/bricaul/status…

🚨👀⛳️ JUST IN — A “bombshell announcement” regarding the future of LIV Golf is reportedly imminent, multiple sources tell @acaseofthegolf1.
