Michael Moritz says venture capital is now an auction where you get a six slide PowerPoint and five minutes to decide on a term sheet

[ Kara: Is it possible to create that again? ]

"I think the genie's out of the bottle ... Today it's a world of perfect information. A company gets started here, there'll be 20 knockoffs in China tomorrow and you'll have everybody in the valley trying to finance a similar company."

"... business plans were typed. They weren't six slide PowerPoints that you had five minutes in which to decide whether or not you wanted to issue a term sheet."

"It was not an auction business, which I think many aspects of it are today. And you don't want to be in an auction business. It's too much of a perfect market."

Pts not discussed enough from the TX / Tennessee game: 1. Absence of Smothers (virtually zero discussion about them not having their best back), 2. Too many negative plays on 1st down for TX set up a horrible 3rd down conversion percentage, 3. Tennessee held constantly. Few calls

A lot of your anxiety about the future comes from trying to solve problems that have not happened yet. Preparation is useful, but living permanently inside imaginary disasters is exhausting. Deal with today's reality before borrowing tomorrow's pain.

This is one of the most beloved paintings in America, and it puts its finger on something we all pass through, first as the child, and one day as the parent left behind...

The painting is Breaking Home Ties, by Norman Rockwell, on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1954. A father and his teenage son sit side by side on the running board of a battered farm truck, waiting at a railway stop. A single track runs along the bottom of the picture. A ticket pokes from the boy's pocket. His suitcase is stacked with schoolbooks and wears a "State U" pennant. The train is coming to carry him off to college, away from home, for the first time in his life.

Everything is in the way they sit.

The son sits upright, scrubbed and dressed in his best, eyes fixed on the horizon, on the track, on the future rushing toward him. He is already half gone. For him that train is the beginning of everything.

His father sits beside him in worn work clothes and scuffed boots, looking the other way, down the line, as if he cannot bear to watch it arrive. The same train means the opposite thing to him. For the son it is the start of a life. For the father it is the day the house grows quieter, the chair at the table sits empty, and the person he built his world around walks out into a life that no longer has him at its centre.

Look at his hands. He is holding two hats. His own battered one, and resting on top of it, his son's crisp new one, held carefully together, because it is the last small thing he can still do for the boy...

And then the dog, its head laid in the son's lap, gazing up, refusing to look away. Rockwell knew exactly what that was for: "The father couldn't show how he felt about the boy's leaving," he said. "The dog did."

It has moved people for 70 years because every leaving is a beginning for one person and an ending for another. The child steps out into the world, as they should. And someone stays behind, watching them go, and loving them enough to let them go anyway...

This is one of the most beautiful images from the World Cup. Marc Cucurella celebrates the title with his son Mateo, who has autism.

Mateo is usually unable to attend his father's matches because the noise inside stadiums overwhelms him. Marc promised that he would only bring Mateo to the stadium if Spain reached the final. And they did. He arranged for Mateo to watch the match from a soundproof VIP box, where he could safely see his father become a world champion. After the final whistle, Marc took him onto the pitch to lift the World Cup trophy together.

Mateo, a champion too. ❤️

Can we agree a third place World Cup match is silly

Second yellow? World Cup is rigged
