You can take the girl out of Africa, but you can't take Africa out of the girl (me, 1994-99, where I founded our company in 1998). Viva Afrika! Happy #AfricaDay! #Shosoloza Take it away, Johnny! lnkd.in/g_qmKUSS

Made it my life’s mission to become the Taliban’s worst nightmare:
A highly educated Afghan woman.
First, Columbia University at the top of my class, and now Oxford University.
Give Afghan girls one chance and see what they can achieve.

Two iconic CEOs announced that they’re stepping aside and called for a new genre of leader in an era of AI. Coca-Cola’s James Quincey said the company now needs “someone with the energy to pursue a completely new transformation of the enterprise.” Former Walmart CEO Doug McMillon was just as direct: “I could start this next big set of transformations with AI, but I couldn’t finish it.”

Excellent essay from Nan on the coming wave of AI-era philanthropy and the latent opportunity in billions of dollars of newly created wealth flowing toward public goods.
Her central case: what if we modeled public goods funding more like Silicon Valley’s startup ecosystem?
What could philanthropy’s equivalents learn from LPs, VCs, and founders?
Greater ambition, more risk, better incentives for top talent, more innovative funding models, embracing power law outcomes…
In some sense, this is Nan laying out a framework for how we can have more Nan’s: world-class investor / founder / operator talent that work on philanthropy without sacrificing their ambition.

New blog post: The third wave of American philanthropy
Hundreds of billions of dollars in new philanthropic capital will soon become liquid. The OpenAI Foundation holds 26% of OpenAI, worth about $220B at today’s valuation. Anthropic’s seven co-founders have pledged to give away 80% of their wealth and have instituted the most aggressive donor matching program for employees in tech history.
How much does this all add up to? And how meaningful is that in the context of philanthropy today?
I was doing some simple napkin math to wrap my head around the scale of what’s coming, and radicalized myself in the process. I had dramatically underappreciated the scale of the philanthropic capital that’s about to become available and the corresponding gap in talent and organizations that will be needed to make the most of it.
This piece aims to directionally sketch the scale of what’s coming, the gap in operational capacity needed to absorb it, and what we can do to fill it.

Silicon Valley and the Vatican may “seem like strange bedfellows”—but they each have something to gain from the other, @EliasWachtel argues. He examines why Big Tech is listening to priests and theologians who want to shape the future of AI: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."

What lessons is China drawing from the Iran conflict? The utility of a blockade will be reaffirmed --the PLA is already planning for it. But BJ can't achieve its goal of taking Taiwan with a blockade or a quarantine. It will need boots on the ground. @jenni__marsh.
