I'm convinced Rippling is a psyop.

VCs hyping Parker Conrad, giving him $2B, calling it revolutionary

Meanwhile, every screen takes 10 sec to load, clunky UI, missed payrolls, hiring errors. Nobody I know likes it.

The product makes me want to lie down in the middle of traffic

I think David Senra is an incredibly talented podcaster and I have tremendous respect for his commitment to the craft.

That said, successful entrepreneurship isn’t by definition a proxy for wisdom. Just because someone is obscenely wealthy or powerful doesn’t mean we should take their ludicrous galaxy brain takes seriously.

Sure, things like fear and self-doubt unnecessarily interfere with action and momentum. And many people would indeed benefit from cultivating a proclivity for decisiveness.

But promoting the idea that introspection is a problematic artifact of modernity we’d all be better off without is patently wrong, horrible on its face, and arguably pathological.

Not only does the unexamined life devoid of self-reflection detach one’s self from things like accountability and empathy, as Socrates said it’s actually not worth living.

Brian Chesky's vision for an AI-first world is miles ahead of the Silicon Valley narrative. Haven't seen it this clearly since Steve Jobs.

I’m born & raised in LA, been going to @Dodgers Stadium since I was a baby. This current team is magical and historic. So proud.

But I will say, part of me was pulling for the @BlueJays. I just love an underdog. Saluting the great city of Toronto tonight 🤍💙

[tobi lutke @tobi]

Amazing performance Blue Jays.

We are still proud of you. Onwards.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Absolutely 💔 result.

Congratulations to the @BlueJays for a tremendous season and for battling right to the end. You’ve made all of 🇨🇦 proud with how hard you fought, the risks you took, and the teamwork you lived throughout. An inspiration to us all pointing to an ever brighter future for all of us in the years ahead.

This World Series was so special for me.

I fell in love with Toronto. It’s truly such a special place.

This is my favorite World Series I’ve covered and I can’t thank everyone enough that followed along.

I do have a baseball show called @FlippinBatsPod. Would mean the world if you check it out and subscribe! World Series recap episode from the field of Rogers Centre is here: https://t.co/QzyQc6BXAX

We asked @auren (Chairman @SafeGraph) to share thoughts on venture capital practices.

"Venture capitalists always deride lifestyle businesses, but they run one themselves."

"They often say to founders, 'One CEO' but most VC firms have like four."

"They say 'take dilution,' but they don't. 'Go public' but don't do it themselves. 'Board governance' without their own."

"Most venture capital firms are just selling money. It's a commodity."
