@_jklnz @Jason @saylor Kinda like what Warren Buffet did with a textile company called Berkshire Hathaway?

Something happened today…

@Jason @jack In other news, realDonaldTrump just reactivated his Friendster account.

@TexDolly It's sort of like how the chip leader at the end of Day 1 at the main event doesn't always take home the bracelet.

@Jason @levie @MattRosoff He did promise we would get tired of winning... I'm officially tired of winning!

@aviel The more ice cream that’s consumed, the more people die by drowning!

@adndotcom Sounds amazing. Imagine needing to do a few minutes of research about candidates before casting a vote... This beats letting the lemmings choose!

[Kevin Croy @kevincroy]

@grechj @jasonfried @dhh @basecamp Me too. Maybe @jasonfried and team can reimagine the phone app. That kinda sucks too. 😂

@Jason What’s that old quote about wrestling with pigs??? “Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.”

[Kevin Croy @kevincroy]

@Mister_Fun_Guy @drmistercody @brianschatz Agree. This applies to President of the United States too.

5 mins to T-0

[Tom Conrad @tconrad]

When I was 24 and working at Apple I found myself in a heated debate with an engineer that I'd not met before.

Since I was young and knew everything, I was lecturing this man on some nuances of how drag and drop should behave when activated on a text selection.

Love these tips. Fundraising founders, read up!!

[James Currier @JamesCurrier]

Fundraising is not natural. As a Founder of 4 VC-backed companies & now a VC, it's painful to see great Founders get tripped up by counterintuitive realities of pitching.

Today I'm sharing 16 non-obvious pitching lessons that make a critical difference.

@vaccariously @nakedbaron Oldie but a goodie!!

[Dennis Joyce @DennJoyce]

Never quit.

@GillespieForVA @CraigRozniecki @neiltyson This is the crux problem. Our media has made a business out of covering the tragedy and ignoring “statistics.” They spread fear and anxiety, provide notoriety for the killers, & polarize us. Meanwhile the families of ALL 7,708 Americans who died in the past 24 hours mourn.

[Kevin Croy @kevincroy]

This 100%... Data > instinct.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.

On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…

500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun

Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.

@nakedbaron @vaccariously I have eyes!! I see it too

[Leo Polovets @lpolovets]

Investors: "What would you do if Google copied you???"

Zoom: "I'd build a public company worth $20 billion while they eat our dust."
