Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.
A Story of Adversity and Comebacks!
What a career, don’t even know where to start but I’m grateful for it all!
These past 15 years have flown by but I am grateful for what the game has given me and I hope one day I can pay it forward!

Bibi has been fruitlessly begging US admins to bomb Iran and unleash the animal spirits of regime change for decades, like some shitty startup striking out with traditional VCs, over and over again — and like the savvy CEO of a shitty startup idea, he finally found a dumb-money septuagenarian family office to fork over a huge check. Genuinely embarrassing shit.
Five minutes 'til the bracket reveal and I care more about Louisville not playing in the opening window on Thursday afternoon more than I care about who they're playing.
Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.
America is a big country so sometimes it can feel like what's happening several states away has nothing to do with you.
But Minneapolis isn't special.
It's the 46th largest city in a midwestern state. It's smaller than Omaha, Nebraska and Raleigh, NC.
Its foreign-born share is about the same as Gainesville, FL or Bloomington, IN.
Imagine these scenes happening in your town, where you walk your kids to school or where you get a drink with your friends.
Your views on immigration or deportations are irrelevant. Is this the kind of country you want to live in?
