Just tried Dreamwave's AI headshot generator. Blown away by my results. Check them out at https://t.co/6rYO2Z20rl

[Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey]

The first principle here should be: DO NO HARM.

The Warner-Portman-Sinema amendment will drive developers to create software outside of the U.S.

I urge my colleagues to oppose it and join me, @RonWyden, and @SenLummis in protecting American innovation.

Crazy. This wakes me up. It's so easy to fall into the "it won't happen to me because I'm healthy," trap.

Great post about how @ImanAbuzeid and her team @JoinIncredible raised a $15M Series A from @a16z after having raised seed from @NFX & @obviousvc. NFX killing it as usual with their content 💯 https://t.co/SBloS4rQfp

@ImanAbuzeid @NFX @a16z @firstround @smc90 This piece on your fundraising journey was incredible. So grateful for the effort you put in, and congratulations on your well-earned success thus far!

@artinstitutechi Impressed with the @artinstitutechi app and tweets. Been away from the city for a while and just renewed my membership to skip the line for the #Warhol exhibit. Looking forward to working from here a bit more this year.

@markbachmann Congrats on the best place to work nod!! That's amazing!

[Ryan Reece @ryanunger]

This article is one of the most impactful pieces of writing I've read in ages. My life would be so different had I come across this 20 years ago. Will, without question, be taking it into account for my next 20 years. Sincerely thank you, @JamesCurrier and @NFX

Thread: What city you live in. Who you date or marry. Which job you choose.

We think we make these choices ourselves. The unseen hand in them all is the networks that surround us.

Networks are key to life's 7 big crossroads:

This is a remarkable thread on clean energy. Thanks for sharing.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

People worry about how much land we'd need to supply the US with clean energy. Well, @elonmusk and I have independently calculated it and we both come up with something roughly comparable to the area we currently use for maple syrup or golf. A square about 100-120 miles per side.

Happy New Year! Sure, it's 2020... but what might life in the *2030s* look like, thanks to advances in tech and more?

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

When choosing a startup idea, you must be able to check either of these boxes

[ ] Truly novel (nobody else has tried)
[ ] 10X better product

The absolute best check both. 99% of startups check neither.

A good pitch is sometimes a strong story explaining how to get the 1st ☑️

Epic thread of insider insights. Bookmarking this one for sure.

[Brent Beshore @BrentBeshore]

Going to run an experiment...What's the top thing you learned this year that you can't share publicly?

DM me and I'll anonymously post the best.

[Ryan Reece @ryanunger]

Killer thread on marketing lessons. Bookmarking this one for sure.

[Kyle Tibbitts @KyleTibbitts]

Marketing lessons learned over more than a decade growing startups (thread):

Great marketing emanates from a great product. If the product sucks no amount of world class marketing can redeem it. Marketing can help make a good product great––it will never make a bad product good.

[Ryan Reece @ryanunger]

@iok @markog Yas! That's the one. You took much better pics than I did! :)

[Ryan Reece @ryanunger]

@iok @markog I'm not sure where that spot is, but two weeks ago I stumbled upon a restaurant in Costa Rica with the actual plane that Barry Seal used to take photos for the CIA, as depicted in the movie American Made. Was super random.

[Ryan Reece @ryanunger]

Trying soursop and water for the first time. Really tasty.

[Ryan Reece @ryanunger]

Working on my 2020 professional goals from @imiloainstitute's jungle retreat property in Costa Rica for a few days and a handful of monkeys just came swinging past the pavilion I'm in. Mother Nature is a magical woman. Highly recommend you ask her out on a date. She'll say yes.
