Overlaid is a quote from Henry Rollins: "This is not a time to be dismayed. This is punk rock time. This is what Joe Strummer trained you for."

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Apple Watch + Health should be so good but chronically seems to fall short. The sleep analysis charts are pretty useless for identifying trends… especially when the data doesn’t add up 😅

YouTube video by Senator Chris Murphy Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Macro data refinement?

Values We did many things fairly well at Slack. One thing we never did well, however, was figuring out how much office space we’d need. We outgrew our Clementina Street office in July of 2014, just five mont...

The values and character of Slack resonated more deeply with me than any other company I’ve worked. The depth of humanity was humbling.
