Real founders don’t read blog posts on how to be a founder.

The only real test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life.

This is the real story.

Here we go again, now they went after Felicia. More than anyone else I know, Felicia Horowitz opened her home and her check book for years to the type of people the elites in SV would look down their nose at if they saw them at the Rosewood or the Battery. My own experience…

If anyone is interested in working on this for a few months, drop me a line!

One last thing I’ll say about this episode before I go back into hibernation is what I truly despise about the tech startup ecosystem is the duplicitous two faced culture. Passive aggression is the language, people hide in the shadows conceal their motives, while grin fucking you


Infant days of Square I cold-knocked @jack + team 1st office in old SF Chron. bldg w/ huge tug of red bull & coder-eats (RIP TO & BL). Told jack I'd call 12hrs day (free) to sign first biz's. Nicely said I was too early. If only I showed up knocking every morning thereafter....

Techcrunch is so trash. They have been attacking me for supporting black founders for 10 years now. Calling @ShakaSenghor a "gang leader" is typical for these idiots.

Let me correct yall description of me. You meant to say NY Times Bestselling author, Amazing Father, VT fellowship alumni, MiT Media Lab fellowship Alumni, TED Speaker, Grammy nominated artist and dope father! There you go @TechCrunch all fixed

This is trash. When Ben and I raised $25m for TxO to invest in founders outside the network, of all stripes, Tech Crunch purposefully inaccurately reported it as only $2m despite being told otherwise. Now they use the image of my friend @ShakaSenghor as the face of this hit piece

Some Black startup founders feel betrayed by Ben Horowitz’s support for Trump tcrn.ch/3zN03K1

What up with X verified orgs? We applied @oyilabs weeks ago, paid $200, days later got a weird email claiming we look illegitimate asking us to show proof of inc (we do) then nothing, out the blue we get Verf org visual identity, but application still pending, no functionality

Reasonable people think wokeness (post modern ideals) went too far, became forceful and also think anti woke has become childish, assholish and mean spirited. We need a more sober intellectual movement for fair society Hopefully this is thesis to antithesis to eventual synthesis

broke: i will pay chamath $1000 for his research woke: chamath is incredibly dumb and i wouldn’t spend a penny on his work bespoke: $1000 isn’t that much for what could be a powerful contra signal. i will subscribe & use this to keep a pulse on what the loudest charlatan thinks

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer. The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software. This is beyond insane. No creator in their…

If you're shouting out the American jury system this week, you should know that jury trials are virtually extinct for anyone who's not rich or running for president. Lotta reasons why, but one is called coercive plea bargaining. Here's more. Join us. endthetrialpenalty.org

Incarcerated people are increasingly being prohibited from using social media through friends and family. I’ll repeat myself: “Prisons and jails do not, under any circumstances, want people who are incarcerated to be able to speak freely to the public.” context.news/big-tech/us-pr…

As I stand here with a fax in hand that denies one of my patients on chemo an antinausea drug which could get them through the American holiday weekend more tolerably & humanely, I realize that South Park is now a documentary:


Martha's Vineyard for the holiday. Fun fact: Black entrepreneur's in Oak Bluffs invented airbnb in the 1920's. Awesome!
