[Jon Schlossberg @jschloss]

the work was delivering babies, so i'll allow it

[Jon Schlossberg @jschloss]

hello. i am writing a science fiction series with deep ties into silicon valley.

i am looking for a few more alpha readers (the first book is ~80% finished).

responsibilities include reading, and being interrogated about what you've read

any takers?

[Jon Schlossberg @jschloss]

real quotes from current alpha readers:

"hurry the fuck up and write faster"

"if i didnt have work i would have finished this in one sitting, damn you"

"i'm only starting chapter 8 but ive picked out all the movie actors already"

"i've read worse books"

@vkhosla i can tell you one thing for sure: arguing on twitter is what's going to improve things

@seanrose bro

[Jon Schlossberg @jschloss]

@seanrose no

[Jon Schlossberg @jschloss]

@KY_Data_Guy Correct, that is what I'm telling you. Not sure what kind of tinpot crusade you're on here but some basic investigation before accusation might help win people over

lol imagine doing a competitive analysis of a market and leaving out the product that's on pace to be more popular than 401k this year at the nation's largest employer. sorta makes you go hmm! https://t.co/l023qQqkB5

@KY_Data_Guy Even is not being offered to PayPal customers

[Jon Schlossberg @jschloss]

@KY_Data_Guy sold out to paypal? by having them buy our product for their people? ok buddy

spending resources ensuring your people can bring their whole selves to work isn't politics, it's leadership. it's not a distraction, it's an investment. you can build a valuable company by not investing in the health of your people, but... don't be mad when they call you a jerk

[Jon Schlossberg @jschloss]

@terronk shocked, i say!

beware wolves in sheep's clothing indeed

this says a lot about the on-demand pay market, unfortunately, and how important it is to verify the claims vendors make. This company, which claims they’re the good guys (https://t.co/6sBtwFfE1x), paid an “analyst” to pretend the most popular product in the market doesn’t exist.

I am a descendant of slaves, who knew that they would not make it, but dreamed and prayed that one day I would make it.

So despite America's complicated history, my faith is in the Constitution.

I've enforced the laws, and now I write the laws. Nobody is above the law.

White people, stop asking what you can do.

Educate *yourself*

Read a book.

Apply what you learn to your profession, in the voting booth, and with your neighbors.

Black people cannot continue to suffer the harms of racism and the burdens of educating you on how it works.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The President of the United States tear-gassed peaceful protestors in order to clear the way for a useless photo-op outside the White House—just after vowing to activate the military against our own people.

Lives and our democracy are in danger.
