Friends asked me to share my perspective on Israel-Palestine situation. Attacks on vulnerable civilians are horrifying. IDF should be supported to annihilate Hamas. UN should protect civilians on both sides. Whatever your faith, violence is not a faithful response to conflict.

Remaining silent won’t save us. 💁🏽‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️ Venture dollars under Black management remain small. axios.com/newsletters/axios-… Looking at gender, 99.97% of total capital under management by Black VCs was controlled by men, while women only managed 0.03%.

David Petersen (@typesfaster) posted this graph of the percentage of teens who meet their friends in person almost every day. If you crop and flip it, it's much the same shape as the graph of mental health problems.

Here’s a small but legitimate use case for Bitcoin : monetization of energy production in regions with unstable currency and poor infrastructure.
Crypto isn’t usually associated with conservation or community development. But in an attempt to protect its forests and famous wildlife, Virunga has become the first national park to run a Bitcoin mine. trib.al/bfbywtH

Brand ads could work, not in an AdWords model but in native « product placement » model ; Wirecutter does this well (this was just to show you what it might look like). But as always it won’t kill Google, just eat a fraction of its lunch
ChatGPT is an amazing tool but it won't kill Google because it can’t stay free forever. Ads wouldn’t work because there’s nothing to click and the average non-tech person wouldn’t pay for it when Google is free.

Today a lot of people learned that Discovery is a term important in law and not just in product 🤯 @RemiGuyot
I will admit that the Slack use case of “new CEO publicly sharing screenshots of confidential internal information to destroy value for the company and inflict personal risk upon current or former employees” was not one I had the foresight to predict. Users surprise you!
It's a little-known fact that the "overtake 15 cars in rainy weather" quote from Ayrton Senna was a jab at Olivier Panis. Monaco 1996 was and still is Olivier's only career win. He started in 14th position. @FFLose @benedictevans

Quand on parle produit, on pense plus à la dernière méthode agile qu’aux personnes qu’il y a derrière… Pourtant la “culture produit” EST un produit. C’est pour ça que dans cet épisode de People First, on a abordé le sujet avec @louislecat .👇 (1/4)

Cannibals. They’re still a thing, right ? Well, at least they have their very own food blog. 🌎 Head and Shoulders 🙃 can only be found on Thor and purportedly narrates the gruesome deeds of man eaters.
🇺🇸 Balls and Chains ⛓️ details the various ways in which meatballs have been integrated into menus by small and medium restaurant franchises
Here’s a food blog for … Scottish head hunters 👀: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Haggis & Struggles 🐑 stole its name from the fabled recruiter of CEOs to illustrate the rarity of fine traditional Scottish. Unknow to 99.9% of the non-Scottish world population, haggis can actually be very good!
