Looking back 99% of the events i attended were a total waste of time.

@collinsworth55 I know bro I’m just teasing

@ccurtis919 I don’t fly first class with kids. When kids get older and can sit by themselves and be fine I’ll go back 😂

I’ve always thought first class should have a lounge area with drinks and snacks and board the plane last. I don’t think getting on the plane first is a perk. Make first class and comfort plus board last. It creates way better flow too

@jlinehan9 @WashWizards Love Costner

FWIW… I heard none of AJ’s teammates went to his birthday. @WashWizards

@JonnyRoot_ This doesn’t offend me. Im an active member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I’m not upset. Grateful Jesus resurrected so we all can!

Mormons are upset because Christian artist Forrest Frank shared an intro to his newest song ft. Phillip Anthony Mitchell, who states “Joseph Smith is still in his tomb”, while Jesus is alive. It’s one of a few false prophets mentioned, including Muhammad in the intro. 🎥: HiForrest/IG

@ITalkOfChrist This is the way ….

I sat through the most unconventional Elders Quorum meeting of my life today. It was AWESOME! Today was the first EQ meeting of our brand new ward in Tennessee. We met in the high council room, sitting face-to-face in a circle around the large conference table. No way you were gonna zone out on your phone there! To start the meeting, we stood and sang "Rise up, O Men of God." That alone was powerful. Many of us hadn't sung a men’s hymn like that since the last General Conference Priesthood session. Then we were invited to huddle shoulder to shoulder-- like a football team-- to bow our heads and pray specifically for one another and the brotherhood we were forming. We went around the room and each brother shared a bit about himself, including one way he saw the Lord's hand during the past week, and one way he planned to sacrifice for his God and his family during the upcoming week. The atmosphere loosened quickly. Testimonies grew personal as men discussed trials, admitted to slipping in their scripture study, and shared miraculous ways God showed up in their lives. Then the EQ Presidency member leading the meeting shared the "lesson." He choked up a bit and couldn't explain why. That's okay. 😉 He told us every meeting would follow this format: join in a mighty song of Zion, prayer shoulder to shoulder, and "speak one with another concerning the welfare of our souls." And every member should feel free to ask for a priesthood blessing from his brothers in the quorum. One good brother raised his hand and asked for a blessing for the circumstances going on in his life. When volunteers were asked to form the circle, many hands went up-- even brothers who didn't know him. There were snacks, too. Chips, candy bars, even protein bars for the gym bros. Then another football huddle closing prayer. Our first quorum activity is already scheduled. We're meeting at a brother's house to grill chicken. Each member is bringing a side and his favorite rub or marinade (drop your best recipe in the comments). I listened to the quorum members talking in the hallway after the meeting. The consensus: "That was the best quorum meeting I've ever had. For the first time in my adult life, I'm actually excited about Elders Quorum!" I've heard of wards who've done this format from @LeadingSaints, @CwicShow, and others, but I'd never actually seen it before. It was really cool to be a part of. I'm pumped to see where this will lead for our brand new Elders Quorum brotherhood! PS: the EQ Presidency member who ran this first meeting is here on X, too. @ShaunTagatauli. Give him a follow. He's good people.

@BillSimmons Love you bill, but Kevin Durrant thought this response was petty

Hey dickhead — LeBron finished 2016 winning the last 3 final games and the title. You should worry about your own career, this will be the highlight of yours that i responded to you. There’s a reason you are where you are.

@kocalars Lol

YC and Delve have parted ways. I still remember the day we took our YC interview at MIT. We’re so grateful to the community and every founder friend we’ve made. We'll continue to support every young founder striving to make the world a better place.

@karunkaushik_ lol

There’s been a lot of allegations against Delve. But we haven’t been able to share our side of the story until today due to ongoing cybersecurity and forensics investigations. Maintaining customer trust is central to everything we do. That said, we grew too fast and fell short of our own standard. To our customers, we deeply apologize for the inconveniences caused. We take these allegations seriously and have made changes: a new auditor network, free re-audits and pentests for all customers, enhanced transparency in audit communications, and more. However, we also want to set the record straight on the anonymous attacks. The evidence we have points to a targeted cyberattack from a malicious actor, not a “whistleblower.” We believe the attacker purchased Delve under false pretenses, exfiltrated internal company data, and used it to launch a coordinated smear campaign. The posts rely on a mix of fabricated claims, cherry-picked screenshots, and stolen data taken out of context. See the link in the comments for more details. Delve was built to modernize compliance. We are not going anywhere and are committed to building what's next.

@RyanQualtrics As a founder I agree with this. I wrestle with each argument. Optionality matters and it doesn’t show lack of commitment or backbone. The reason you raise venture is to buy time to figure out what works. Dead ends come back to life. But you have to get to black asap.

Chart below from our Feb Halo Fund LP meeting: At some point, the public and private markets will converge. Right now, too many companies are still flying with the fuel line hooked up to the plane-dependent on external capital to stay airborne. Eventually, that line gets cut. And when it does, the business has to fly on its own. Because being acquired isn't a strategy—it's an outcome. The hardest part of building, at least for me, was managing that tension as a founder: How do you operate with maximum velocity and urgency... while still making disciplined, durable decisions? How do you move fast—without walking through one-way doors you can't come back from? That balance is everything because the journey always turns out to be much longer than anyone thinks.

@thogge You’ve been watching cart narcs on YouTube I see

Simple tests of character: 1. Returning shopping cart 2. Returning weights to the rack 3. Patience when a baby cries on a flight 4. kindness to service workers 5. Saying thank you always 6. Holding door for others 7. Picking up litter What else?

@thogge Never deleting this app

At no point in this sentence could I have guessed the next word even if given one trillion guesses.

@thogge Gotta hike over to terminal 2 to the new one. No wait ever and quiet and super nice

Nothing is lower status than waiting in the back of the sky miles line in the terminal like a little 🐑 waiting for its snack 😀

@thogge @AJ_Dybantsa I like the reverse jinx

H.A.G.S. @AJ_Dybantsa !!

@bhalligan For sure. A lot of startup content is really just high level platitudes with underlying marketing to founders. Yours feels way genuine. So you deserve feedback so you don’t stop. It makes a difference for some of us

@ccurtis919 Thanks for the feedback.

Most successful entrepreneurs you talk to, if they're being honest, would say something along the lines of, "If I knew everything I know now, I would not have done it." The kind of people who decide they want to be founders because they think it is cool always fail. They fail because it's a deeply painful and lonely journey, and those people will jump ship. Maybe they are the smart ones. For the rest of you, it's a Long Strange Trip...

@uninsightful This is bad for these businesses.

the default yc round this batch (W26) seems like 4m on 40m I remember when I first started in venture exactly three years ago (W23 batch) and most venture ppl were complaining about YC pushing their founders to do 2m on 20m in 3 years the market went from a very begrudging 2 on 20 to a more neutral 4 on 40 interesting to think about where things land 3 years from here

@JMincone @thogge bro….. I still love your feed. Good to see you tonight in the wild ✌️

Simply cannot lose in baseball to a country after capturing their President
