I spent 8 years scaling Discord and got burnt out cause modern work is broken. We’re overwhelmed with too much info across apps, teams, and agents.

AI made it worse. We’re building the solve.

I've joined @tryhighlight as CEO and we raised a $40M Series A led by @KhoslaVentures.

Thank you, Kasey, for such a beautifully written, yet wrenching look at what it was like to be on the front lines at the peak of the pandemic in NYC. It's first-hand accounts like this that remind us how horrific this virus is & how heroic our frontline responders really are.

Good morning from Manila! "I learned from experience that joy does not reside in the things about us, but in the very depths of the soul, that one can have it in the gloom of a dungeon as well as in the palace of a king." St. Therèse of Lisieux

The conviction of @mariaressa, CEO & Executive Editor of @rapplerdotcom is an outrageous abuse of the judicial process. The authorities should drop all charges & end their intimidation https://t.co/2p8t7QLPjb #DefendPressFreedom #journalismisnotacrime 📷DanteDiosinaJr/Rappler/Fb

Peter Daszak is a British-born American PhD who’s spent a career discovering dangerous viruses in wildlife, especially bats. In 2003, he warned 60 Minutes a pandemic was coming. Two weeks ago, NIH funding for his virology research was killed. https://t.co/dnEmFCF1MI

Here's a surprising and insightful look at the many different ways the virus might impact the fight against climate change, both now and in the future –– in both positive and negative ways. https://t.co/HXn8pMeAU9

[John Della Volpe @dellavolpe]

Sobering stats from today's @harvardiop youth poll highlighting @esglaude & @JoeNBC discussion on divisions in America today.

Young whites 3x more than blacks to believe America was built for them/founders shared my values.

[Jake Horowitz @jacobdhorowitz]

As policymakers weigh next steps, they would be wise to read this important report from @aaronlmorrison & his AP colleagues detailing the toll the virus is taking on communities of color & the immediate need for better data to understand its true impact. https://t.co/ORRF4qzNvh

Seeing the #Covid-19 crisis unfold is like watching a time lapse of #ClimateChange.. Will we learn the right lessons from this, or will we ignore them? - @MichaelEMann : https://t.co/vDADQmfvzr

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

I spent 2 days in the "hot zone" in New York hospitals, witnessing needless death and heartache, and heroic, shattered health workers. One doctor spends her days treating patients, holding their hands--then goes home and cries. Her message: "Stay home."

This piece following a nurse at one of the hardest-hit hospitals in the Bronx is simply stunning. Each paragraph more harrowing than the one before it. https://t.co/OG5rnKgtXa

To each and every doctor putting his or her life at risk to save the lives of others, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

You are the unwavering front line soldiers, angels and heroes in this war.

You make New York proud.

"This was affecting me 20 yrs ago; I can't believe it's getting worse with the explosion of #socialmedia.

What are we telling young people? Their worth depends on how little physical space they take up in the world?" — @jameelajamil asks you to join @i_weigh.
