An amazing test at the potential power of social media and possibly challenging how airlines could actually be managed. Bravo! https://t.co/g3hV3DQ5Yr

I'm still looking for examples of successful companies that became successful doing the thing they started with.

Haven’t found many.

🚨Governor Newsom’s former Chief of Staff has now been charged with public corruption and exposed just how deep lobbying corruption runs in California.

Over the last decade, more than 500 individuals have been charged or convicted of corruption… yet they are STILL allowed to lobby your government. That is unacceptable.

If you are guilty of corruption, you should not be anywhere near influencing public policy and that’s exactly what AB 1560 will end.

It’s time to clean house. Support AB 1560 and help us end government corruption once and for all.

Steph Curry on almost entering the top 20 all time in points scored

"There's no words for it to be honest. The names your passing now are icons you look up to that defined basketball to me. I always wanted to be in position to honor the eras before me because there is no me without the eras before... Im blessed"

Isaiah Thomas loves how much of a professional Steph Curry is 🔥

"There's not been one night when hes put on a jersey, and the fans didn't get their moneys worth. He gives them a pre game show, in game show, after the game hes so generous with his time. As a role model, as a pro, a champion, as a Hall of Famer, as an athlete. He is everything we always wanted our players to represent. Steph Curry, number 30, He's the one"

The #DallasCowboys spoil the Detroit #Lions' first-ever regular season game at Pontiac Stadium (aka the Silverdome), 36-10.

The #Cowboys sack Greg Landry 11 times and break open a close game after halftime with their typical big-play offense.

Today we are announcing our $1B Series C, but money isn’t the story. The story is what we’ll do with it, and the scale of the challenge ahead.

Our mission isn’t constrained by capital, supply, or demand. It’s constrained by talent. To build America’s next great power company, we need the engineers, operators, and creatives ready to take on the challenge to join us.

Power is the most important product in the world. It runs through everything: our homes, hospitals, schools, factories, and future. And the grid that delivers it is breaking.

At Base, we’re building the future of power so human progress can accelerate. In the past two years, we’ve grown from an idea into one of the fastest growing energy companies in America.

Now we’re entering a new phase of growth. Our first manufacturing site is rising in the heart of Austin, inside the former Austin American-Statesman printing press. Here we’ll build our own hardware to meet surging demand and scale nationwide. This is a key step in putting a battery on every home in the country.

Few teams get to say their work powers human progress. We do. With a billion dollars of fuel, our next wave of growth will be defined not by capital, but by people who choose to step up, take ownership, and build the next great American power company.

The old system is breaking. Come build the new one.

Our Series C was led by Addition, with participation from both new and existing investors including Trust Ventures, Valor Equity Partners, Thrive Capital, Lightspeed, Andreessen Horowitz, Altimeter, StepStone, Elad Gil, 137 Ventures, Terrain, Waybury, Ribbit, CapitalG, Spark, BOND, Lowercarbon, Avenir, Glade Brook, Positive Sum, and 1789.

A HORRIBLE strike three call against the Padres from umpire D.J. Reyburn.

The Padres went on to lose 3-1 to the Cubs in Game 3 of the Wild Card series, leaving runners on second and third to end it.

In today's elimination games, all three umpires called below league average games.

Umpires David Rackley, Mark Ripperger, and D.J. Reyburn combined to miss 36 calls.

I'm not against VC but I feel there's 2 types of VC startups

1) have an idea, build a product, get product market fit, grow, realize they need money, raise money, use it where they need it, improve product, get more users, when it makes sense either sell or IPO

2) move to SF, network with SF people, raise money from VCs that are now your friends, make a big flashy announcement that you have $$$ now, use the $$$ to rapidly pump your user numbers, now figure out how to sell the thing to friend of a friend's company for $500M

I think the first is building a startup, while the second is just high-level financial and social engineering
