I get the trust point, but "Detroit produces nothing” isn’t accurate

Michigan produces ~20–25% of U.S. vehicles, exports $80B+ annually, and is a top manufacturing state

It was literally the “Arsenal of Democracy” in WWII

It’s not a VC hub like SF or Singapore, but that’s a different metric, not "nothing"

Nothing but facts

“When you go from consumer to B2B, the number one mega-challenge that you must master is LTV:CAC.” - @travisk

"Yes, you can make that argument on consumer, but when you have a sales funnel that starts with 'I'm going to talk to customers, and I have to make LTV:CAC work' — versus 'My LTV:CAC is the App Store' — it's a whole different ballgame."

“LTV:CAC with a sales machine, especially if you go [after] small businesses, is life on hard mode. Anybody who’s crushed it on SMB, those guys are special individuals who've made that happen. Because life in the SMB B2B world is no joke."

The four players on the ice when the USA scored to win the Gold Medal:

Jack Hughes - Canton, MI
Zach Werenski - Grosse Pointe, MI
Dylan Larkin - Waterford, MI

Connor Hellebuyck - Commerce, MI

Hockey runs through the state of Michigan. And why Detroit will always be Hockeytown.

Building on @balajis’ analysis:

Here's my perspective: https://t.co/wWZjJHrcvt

The India story in the U.S. is bifurcated. Wall Street decks talk about scale, while TikTok pushes ridicule for clicks. As an Indian-American, you scroll both at once. The tension isn’t about where India is headed, it’s about what that split does to identity here.

[Rishabh Parekh @RParekh_]

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article called Analyzing India in the Current Zeitgeist

With the renewed online debate around H-1B visas, it’s hard not to miss the contradictions

On one hand, U.S. government officials meet tech leaders every week to discuss the future of AI and innovation. On the other, proposals like this threaten to cripple the very companies in their ecosystem, especially early-stage startups/SMBs that can’t foot $100K-per-year bills for every skilled employee

The assumption that these roles would seamlessly “trickle” to American-born workers is, frankly, naive. H-1B regulations were designed to bring in specialized talent, the kind of knowledge that isn’t easily replaceable. Filling these gaps would require massive investment in education, re-skilling programs, and behavioral shifts in how we approach technical training

This doesn't feel like a long-term strategy to build a stronger workforce, it looks like a short-term revenue measure that risks eroding what has historically made America the most attractive place to build a business

[Joey Politano 🏳️‍🌈 @JosephPolitano]

The new $100k/year H1B fee is pure economic self-harm—workers making **5 times the median US income**, who contribute massively to the US, would still basically be unable to afford this fee

Oh, but never fear, the White House reserves the right to dish out exemptions as favors!

@maorshlomo Is there a reason I don’t own my own repo when I export to Git and am only a collaborator?

Don’t sleep on Andreeva. @WTA US Open picks ⬇️

[CenterCourt @OnCenterCourt]

Swiatek’s the betting favorite, Sabalenka’s the defending champ, but the @WTA draw feels loaded with landmines.

There are teenagers who don’t know they’re supposed to be nervous, vets who can drag anyone into a three-hour street fight, and floaters who can flip a match quick🧵

[Rishabh Parekh @RParekh_]

Getting back into prediction threads, first one is a Men’s @usopen preview 🍿

[CenterCourt @OnCenterCourt]

Right now @KalshiSports and @PolymarketSport love Sinner.

Quick-and-dirty @atptour draw @usopen preview and the first-round matches that could go sideways 🧵

[Balaji @balajis]

On many graphs of the physical world, China is in first place by a wide margin.

But if you look more closely, India is a distant but real runner up.
