As a mom to daughters, remote work is the opposite of fraud, it’s a jackpot.

My girls get to see what it looks like to build a career, a life.

The real fraud is having to uphold that whole trope of “work like you don’t have kids and have kids like you don’t work”

@CristinCulver I posted about bringing the ipod back on substack and people are going wild over it

[Cristin Culver @CristinCulver]

The rise of the TinCan phone is the perfect example of understanding culture. The founders saw the backlash against smartphones and resurrected the landline. They didn’t invent anything new, they just brought it (back) to market at the perfect time.

I'm gonna shoot my moonshot. 🚀👩🏻‍🚀🌔

I'd be honored to interview Christine Koch on The Breadwinners Podcast when she returns from her epic journey. What an incredible Breadwinner story.

Putting this out into the universe if anyone can make a connection.

Its a long shot but 🤞🏼

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

@DavidSacks LFG!

@NYCMayor Your rhetoric is incredibly dangerous for our entire country.

You should ask the Iranian new yorkers, because they're celebrating the actions of our country, they are thanking our administration for saving them and their families.

But also, nice photo with Jeffrey Epstein.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

So let me get this straight. You support the Khamanei regime that killed 38,000+ protesters and maimed hundreds of thousands more. A regime that has repeatedly called for Death to America and has killed thousands of our servicemen and citizens. One that has taken away women’s rights and freedoms for the Iranian people.

And then you call our efforts to destroy the evildoers a catastrophic escalation.

You also support those who attack our police force. You take the side of the criminals rather than the victims of violent actors in our city.

How is it that you can’t differentiate between good and evil?

Why is this so hard for you?

[Alexis Contos @lex919]

@MaxVelocityWX @grok is this real?

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

It’s almost been 24 hours and not a single Corporate Media outlet has had anything to say about this.

Funny how that works.

Welcome y'all @craft_ventures - excited to have you in the Lonestar state

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

I’m pleased to end the year by announcing that Craft Ventures has opened an Austin office. God bless Texas and happy new year!

[Alexis Contos @lex919]

Let's roll baby...Austin or bust y'all

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

As a response to socialism, Miami will replace NYC as the finance capital and Austin will replace SF as the tech capital.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

.@garrytan I would urge you to reconsider this decision and open YC Austin.

First, the data is looking in the rear view mirror. “Past performance does not guarantee future results,” as the saying goes. The Austin startup ecosystem is off to the races thanks to first movers like @elonmusk and @JTLonsdale.

Second, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If YC and others support Austin, it will be successful.

Third, and this is a biggie, if you don’t open YC Austin, you’re basically acknowledging that Silicon Valley has insuperable network effects, which was effectively Ro Khanna’s point. You may win this or that political battle, but eventually the political system will extract as much as rent as it can. If you don’t start diversifying now, you won’t have any leverage.

Fourth, if Tech doesn’t start sharing the wealth with Red States, it should expect narrow and shrinking political support. With the Left going socialist, the Right should be an ally; it still believes in innovation and property rights. But many on the Right wonder why they should support radical change that mainly enriches Team Blue.

I fully agree with you that the tech backlash is bad for America, but to solve this, Tech has to include all of America.

This goes for the rest of the VC ecosystem. I would urge you to open Austin offices in 2026.
