I like @Etsy , but this email subject rubs me wrong. It sounds greedy. It does not teach me to be community-driven. It does not reflect the Etsy brand i believe.

Listening to podcasts, watching Youtube, etc is entertainment. To improve your cognitive muscle, sit and breathe.

Insights come from a calm mind. Knowledge comes from reading a lot of books.

@lexfridman First two things are to break up all big tech and fire all incumbent leaders. Is this time for us to embrace having #rookieCEO

Power should be decentralized.

Elon Musk asking Vlad hard-hitting questions about shady Robinhood restrictions was epic.

@elonmusk was the voice of the people tonight.

[Thu Nelson @blankbrief]

Partly agree! I would hire an engineer-trained mind. A lot of engineers or programmers out there do not have business acumen. Listen to interview of Elon how he hires. https://t.co/a8ZJOTb0gJ

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Talked to a guy who'd had several genuinely good startup ideas. None had worked. Why? Because he was neither a programmer nor had a cofounder who was. So he had to hire them, and that put him at the mercy of partners who had nothing to recommend them except access to money.

Observation of the first day phase 2 opening: Starbucks is opening and the two other local coffee shops are closed (they didnt survive). What does that tell you???

[Thu Nelson @blankbrief]

This Robinhood dude is either ill-prepared for interview or is lying #boringdude #eloncrushedhimplease

Here's my conversation with @TimJDillon. I think comedy is essential for challenging power structures and social/political norms. Tim is masterful at this, while mostly just aiming to make people laugh. This was a challenging and fun conversation. https://t.co/OhD201Oqv0

@cnn needs to stop talking about Trump’s illness. Where are discussions about policies? #corporatemediabad

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

What is the purpose of a $22 trillion economy if you can’t take care of your people during a pandemic? We need #EmergencyMoneyForThePeople now. 74% of Americans agree including a majority of both parties. Congress do your job. Support H.R. 6496 NOW. https://t.co/lV7Nnk4ez2

[Thu Nelson @blankbrief]

@cnn said Trump and staff are lying and Trump is getting worse. @foxnewstalk said he is getting better. Boring news these days... where are the bipartisan media?

This is the reason why i have no problem calling #coronavirus Chinese virus. Jesus, if i am the cause of the virus, feel free to call it ThuNelsonvirus.

[Bill Maher @billmaher]

China is a dictatorship that, for decades, enforced a one child per family policy under penalty of forced sterilization. But they can't close down the farmer's market from hell? #CoronaVirus #WetMarkets
