We are coming back with a few updates, including a much simplified user experience, autoplay, and soon, automated segmentation.

@elonmusk isn't the only one who can turn a social media company around ;)

@galenward Hehe. That's the trick one instructor told me at a physical spin class. Nobody can sustain doing those things 2-3 times a day, so they just fake-turn the knob. ~kz

@pt @orenjacob We've had a @Tesla for 5 years. I've driven it on autopilot through a blizzard on an icy highway. It performed where I couldn't see a thing. It was amazing.

If you think Tesla doesn't make great software, I don't know who does.

@pt Is this your loot from the local drug store?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@DrEliDavid If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.

Enough already. There is no pre-seed, seed, or Series A (or whatever the fuck comes before pre-seed). It’s all dead. And that’s fine. IMO it’s now pre-product, early-traction, pre-scale, and scale.

And the valuations?

[Smash Notes @SmashNotes]

@aviel Just to clarify, that's amount of millions invested right, not the valuations.

@typicalVC Coincidentally, also a competing pre-seed term sheet, without so much as an idea or any other necessary skills.

Checked Twitter for 5 minutes.
Remembered why I stopped.

If there is a climate emergency, build nuclear reactors.

Otherwise I can’t take you seriously.

Political correctness is an anti-rational meme.

Cancel culture brings high school politics to the adult world.

If 95% of a population is fully vaccinated and vaccines reduce hospitalizations by 90%, you'd expect ~2/3 of hospitalizations to be among vaccinated people.

All of American culture in one headline.

@mfitz406 Technically speaking, that's the lack of progress. In an efficient economy, there would be plenty of supply to compliment your demand. Either you're super weird, or Bozeman's behind the times on availability. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@supremerumham Because when you are traveling with a family and have to keep an eyes on children and 10 pieces of luggage, it's way easier to put all the electronics away until you get all the way to the airplane.

No cost to losing a paper boarding boarding along the way.
