@FoxNews is almost singlehandedly the reason we can’t have meaningful conversations about politics or the current state of affairs with our Trump-loving family members. Unsurprising stuff.

1. Fox News' @JesseBWatters told millions of viewers that Silicon Valley Bank "donated $74 million to Black Lives Matter."

Similar claims went viral on Twitter

Some "facts" are too good to check

The actual amount that SVB donated to BLM is ZERO

Follow along for receipts 🧾

Excited for some actually nice CA weather (still love the Bay) and all things tech for #LAtechweek! Who’s around? Which events should I hit up?

@LombardiHimself @thesfac Not how I pictured my 15 mins of fame but I’ll take it

@zachweinberg This is v relatable.

How are modern leaders built? Start with a #vision, be purpose-driven, and be a courageous role model for your team. For companies just starting out, these lessons are crucial for building a legacy others can look up to. @BCG @BCGBrightHouse

@ClioDunn @JohnBrownlow Exactly what I’ve been trying to tell everyone.

[Joe Vasquez @iamjoevasquez]

@JohnBrownlow And here was the setup when I spoke on the small business innovation panel at the DNC this year. My friends mostly gave me a hard time for the Tevas...

@lizadixon @k8ward12 @otter_ai Love this! I have a hard time seeing the general public adopting something like this unfortunately!

[Joe Vasquez @iamjoevasquez]

@troysteinmetz Love this thread! Do you know the amount of cost savings associated moving to virtual programs? Reducing use of on campus utilities/variable opex? And $20b (and I hope more comes), while relatively nominal, should help a bit from the @usedgov too?

[Joe Vasquez @iamjoevasquez]

Thank you @johnlegend @chrissyteigen for your hilarious deodorant shenanigans and wonderful music. Damn🔥

What a great story, thanks for sharing @ScottHech. Coming from a family rife with addiction issues, this hits close to home.

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Met an older man 2+ years ago. Recently diagnosed w/ cancer. Brought from hospital to court. Charged w/ armed robbery. Faced life in prison. Judge did the rare thing. Set bail in an amount he could afford. His wife bought his freedom. Released. What happened may surprise you.

@km Just emailed ya

Congrats @gaganbiyani and the @udemy team. This story is quite inspirational and thank you for the incredible impact you have!

[Gagan Biyani 🏛 @gaganbiyani]

I’m biased but @udemy is a true underdog story + thought I’d share details we’ve never shared before.

ICYMI, we announced a $50M raise at $2B valuation.

Udemy almost died at least 5x. We got rejected by everyone in the Valley. Startups are never a straight line.
