@jaredsmithbets He did not lie in any way, shape, or form.

@cspan @jaketapper - maybe you should look into someone dropping f bombs in public about foreign policy.

Okay, now do venture capital.

Everybody knows most VC investments turn out to be shit. That's how high risk high reward bets go.

But nobody at A16Z thinks the solution to that problem is to ask the LPs for *50% less money*!

"Hey, sorry most of our bets failed, but if you give us less money, our efficiency will suddenly explode and we'll be far less wasteful on our high-risk high-reward bets. So please, PLEASE, reduce your next commitment by 50%"

What?!

@BillSimmons @DKThomp @DKThomp @BillSimmons - you acknowledged if not praised Trump’s unfiltered style without also stating he is commonly spewing unfiltered lies. This coupled with your criticism of Democrats as rule following bores collectively came off as a tacit endorsement of lying with style.

[Michelle M @MishOnMars]

@BillSimmons @DKThomp If your reply is that “that’s a job for Derek or Bakari or Higher Learning,” then don’t raise your distrust to your vast audience without substance or support. You are contributing to the distrust of authority.

[Michelle M @MishOnMars]

@BillSimmons @DKThomp I appreciated the discussion but @BillSimmons, if you don’t trust folks trying to address fire hazards in CA, why don’t you invite them on a podcast to interrogate them? You deep dive esoteric basketball/football/media stuff, why not this?

[Michelle M @MishOnMars]

@BillSimmons @PSchrags @Wesley_Morris You talked over @Wesley_Morris way too many times, Bill. Let your guest speak!

How quickly will @MalloryRubin purchase some @TheGlenmorangie?

@zachkram But Will you be able to share your fandom takes at ESPN??

Wake up, America! This man has your personal financial information including your SSN. It won’t be long before you, your parents, and grandparents will have to take whatever remaining Social Security benefits are left via X.

Look at this picture. Is an elected representative speaking to reporters? Is an elected representative the main answerer of questions in this press conference? No. It’s an unelected billionaire who is remaking the government to enrich himself further.

I spend a lot of time looking down, but it pays to look up sometimes!

Stop this madness! @housescience @SenateCommerce @commercedems

Assuming this detached-from-reality policy ports over to @NASA funding, expect @SpaceX to lose business. Why? Because scientists working in labs supported by university overhead research questions that drive NASA to send missions throughout the Solar System to get answers.

[NIH @NIH]

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

[Michelle M @MishOnMars]

@SpaceX has nowhere to go outside Earth’s orbit if the scientists - from undergraduates to graduate students to postdocs to professors - aren’t pushing science forward because universities can’t support the labs they do research in.

[Michelle M @MishOnMars]

Great work, ⁦@RandPaul⁩ and ⁦@SenMcConnell⁩! Way to screw over your constituents to make Trump and Musk happy. https://t.co/bolFtUTl3g
