Bootstrapping infrastructure is supposed to be impossible — Giga Energy has proven the doubters wrong. $8M raised → ~$200M run-rate. Deep tech in Texas used to be contrarian — four years ago, we were among the early believers.

@Jason I was just doing the same…All votes not yet counted, kinda simple (yet annoying) ~93.1% votes counted estimates 155.6M this year (144.87/.931 = 155.607) 2020 total was 155.508 (81.284+74.224)

I know a lot of conspiracy theorists out there were sharing a "strange" voting chart last week... You know, the one that started with an X-axis at 50M to make it super dramatic 🙄 Reality: the same number of people will vote in 2024 as did in 2020 (less than a 1% difference) [ ... please reply and tell me I have TDS! ]

@patrickc @DanielleFong Covid Neurological symptoms were presented in 55% COVID-19 patients. Study findings revealed possible disruption to micro-structural and functional brain integrity in the recovery stages of COVID-19, suggesting the long-term consequences of SARS-CoV-2. thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

One datapoint, via @DanielleFong. Also seen in PISA data (x.com/patrickc/statu…).

I hear opinions like this with growing regularity across a broad variety of domains. Is this a perennial worry in every period, a unique but misguided concern in the present day, or the identification of something new and real?

@follard I’m in. dm me

Balling my eyes out rn. A 17 year old kid just knocked on our front door in East Austin. He asked if he could pull weeds or do other yard work. I love this type of hustle just like the rest of you so of course I agreed. I stepped outside to chat with him. Life got crazy.

The pathway you have worked to forge for ALL Americans, didn’t start with perhaps your most heralded task as President, leading us out of the pandemic, and it certainly won’t end as you now step aside and facilitate a peaceful transition of power to the next generation.

Thank you President @JoeBiden for your leadership and devotion to our nation, your legacy and its positive impact will continue long after your term ends. History is not written by victors (as is often said) but by vectors…

How Israel’s Largest Hospital Delivers Care to Palestinians through its “Peace Through Health” Initiative Below is my conversation with Brian Abrahams, CEO of @FriendsOfSheba. Brian speaks about @sheba_medical's “Peace Through Health Initiative” which has been delivering critical care to patients from the West Bank and Gaza strip for several decades. “So at any given time, 20 percent of our children's hospital, are kids from the Gaza Strip and West Bank, and 50 percent of pediatric cardiology patients are Gaza and West Bank. When the war broke out on October 7th, we had 61 patients from Gaza and the West Bank and 68 family members in-house.” (00:00) Episode Preview (00:30) Brian Abrahams’ Background (00:51) Rice Powell’s Background (02:05) Sheba Medical Center’s History (04:43) The Peace through Health Initiative (06:14) How to Combat the War of Propoganda (07:22) How Sheba responded to the attacks of 10/7 (09:30) Sheba’s partnership with Nuvo to help pregnant mothers (11:11) Firsthand impact of 10/7 (17:48) standwithsheba.com (18:42) How Sheba is helping heal national trauma (21:32) How Sheba has helped patients
