@william_lou You want to rethink this? :)

One of the most important games of the year and Raptors are randomly banged up. Really needed CMB to back up Scottie on Paolo duty and then no IQ and RJ means the Magic can collapse the paint all night. Smh.

@CourtHeelsCP24 First they come for the Jews. Then they come for everyone else. My synagogue was one of three targeted this past week.

Developing: Heavy police presence downtown after shooting at U.S. Consulate this morning. Building struck by gunfire. No injuries. Investigators appear to be focused on front door. Forensics team just arrived

@yaronsamid @MarioNawfal He may actually be dead already

@MarioNawfal I expect him to be dead in a week.

Iran’s new Supreme leader is not only more radical than his father, but he lost his father, mother, wife, son, his niece, his nephew, his sister, and his brother-in-law in a week. And you expect him to be more friendly to the U.S. than his father? Remember, his father had a religious fatwa AGAINST the development of nuclear weapons If this is a regime change or regime modification operation, so far it’s going terribly wrong

@OurielOhayon Is he even alive?

Two hours after being Elected as the New Leader, he has sent a message to Israel with a barrage of Missiles

@michaeldickson And they probably asked him what the Parsha is this week.

Israel Airport Authority: Contrary to reports, Tucker Carlson was not arrested at Ben Gurion Airport Airport Authority statement: In complete contradiction to the reports, Tucker Carlson and his entourage were not arrested, detained, or questioned. Mr. Carlson and his entourage were politely asked a number of routine questions, in accordance with the accepted procedures that apply from time to time to many passengers. The conversation took place in the VIP lounge, in a separate room, solely for the purpose of preserving their privacy and avoiding it taking place in front of other passengers. No unusual incident occurred, and the Airport Authority strongly rejects any other account of this.

I bet Tucker was "detained" at Ben Gurion because he couldn't answer what the Parsha is this week.

@HowardWasserman Did you see that Cze had SIX guys on the ice for the 3-2 goal!?

Canada Cze hockey game is killing me. CZE up 3-2 with 7 minutes to go. I am not breathing. Canada in 2nd period was amazing. Need to find that form again.

@HowardWasserman @alectranews Same. 2nd time tonight. 3rd time in the last week

@alectranews Power is out again.

All power has now been restored in #Vaughan. If you are still without power please call 1-833-ALECTRA ^pa

@SpaceX @grok what price did SpaceX pay for xAI

There are always glimmers in Shadi Hamid's writings of a decent thinker, both intellectually and morally. His new book looks promising in that regard. And then you get this utter folly and inanity. It took Shadi a long, long time to find his voice on Iran, and when he did, it wasn't about Iran. It was only about Israel. But that's not the bad part. The bad part is this odd notion that it's hypocritical for Israelis to hope that Iranians free themselves of a regime that tyrannizes them - a regime that has spent vast treasure and lives on tyrannizing, you know, us too. I watched Iranian missiles fly in the sky over my head. My children slept in a bomb shelter for 12 nights, and have had to think about war and danger since October 7. I watched Iran fund the demolition of Lebanon's state capacity via Hezbollah, enable Assad's massacre 600,000 of his own people (he would have fallen early in the civil war but for Iran), and learned over the past two years just how much Iran was involved in planning and funding both Hamas generally and October 7 specifically. Gaza would not now be demolished without Iran's machinations - a point that remains true regardless of how evil you believe the Israelis to be. I support Iranians' freedom from tyrants who would murder my children too, and I support Palestinian freedom from the grip of ideologies that will never do anything but lock in another round of the same endless war. And that's deemed hypocrisy by the brahmins of the American left. While Shadi, his voice now rediscovered, is no hypocrite at all for finally siding with Iranian freedom -- sorry, with kinda almost agreeing that in principle it's not entirely wrong to side with Iranian freedom as long as we make it about Israel. What a broken mental world they live in.

@PROOFVC @jcbackus Having worked with John over the years, this is devastating news. John was a wonderful guy, super knowledgeable and experienced. He will be missed.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our friend and partner, @jcbackus (John Backus). John was a profoundly influential figure in the venture community—a co-founder of our firm, a trusted mentor to countless entrepreneurs, and a voice of wisdom and integrity across the industry. His career spanned more than three decades as a builder, investor, and leader, beginning with co-founding US Order, which helped pioneer early online banking, and continuing through his many years supporting rapidly growing technology companies. Beyond his work with us, John dedicated extraordinary energy to public service and thought leadership. He served on the Board of Overseers for the @HooverInst, on the Board of Directors for the @CllSociety, and on the Investment Committee for Stanford’s DAPER Fund. He was a former board member of the @NVCA (National Venture Capital Association), Chairman Emeritus of both the @NoVATechCouncil (Northern Virginia Technology Council) and the @Wolf_Trap (Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts), and a trusted technology policy advisor to several Virginia governors. His insights appeared in The Washington Post, TechCrunch, Fortune, CNBC, Fox Business, and many others. Most of all, John was a remarkable human being—curious, generous, optimistic, and deeply devoted to his family and community. His kindness and clarity of thought shaped our culture, our partnerships, and the careers of many who were fortunate to know him. We will miss him enormously, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family. John leaves an enduring legacy, and all of us at PROOF are committed to carrying forward the values and spirit he brought to everything he touched.

@OurielOhayon @HilzFuld Polestar 2

Join me on my ride to Tel Aviv with my smart glasses and my self driving car!

Complete silence from @AnitaAnandMP and PM @MarkJCarney on the bombing of a hospital in Israel. Unlike when @melaniejoly immediately condemned Israel for the false accusation that Israel had attacked a hospital in Gaza.

@WalderSports 12-1

It’s 9-1 Florida Panthers over the last home game and a half. 9-1. People paid thousands of dollars to witness that.

@HilzFuld Hillel this is an unmitigated disaster for Canadian Jews

So these Canadian elections. How close was it and how bad are these results for Canadian Jews and for Canada’s relationship with Israel? I know this Carney dude is bad news, but how bad are we talking?

@JonErlichman Now show all the times BTC dropped by more than 30% vs S&P dropping that much

Returns - S&P 500 vs Bitcoin 1 year: +7% +86% 2 years: +37% +198% 5 years: +118% +1,210% 10 years: +172% +34,677% 14 years: +324% +10,831,533%

So the new finance minister is the same as the old finance minister in that he doesn't understand basic economics. Or math. Just because you call it "investment" doesn't mean it doesn't require CASH to pay for it. Where is that going to come from? ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

@MatanHazanov I'm terrified that it will work on the Canadian public

Change from what? His party was running the government for the past 10 years He was the economic advisor to the Prime Minister for many of those years. Do these platitudes work on people?

What most people don't realize about Israel being at war, is how much of its innovation economy was called up for reserve duty. CEOs, CTOs, VPs of Sales, etc. Dropped everything & went to serve. That's 1 of the secret ingredients for Israel's success as the "Startup Nation". Where else in the world do your startup leaders have this kind of real life leadership experience making life/death decisions. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ From a discussion with @dapshore, full video below.
