Love it when our nationโ€™s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

Why โ€˜Playing It Safeโ€™ In Your Career Doesnโ€™t Pay with VC Bill Gurley Podcast Episode ยท On with Kara Swisher ยท February 26 ยท 1h 3m

Of course, Iโ€™m so very biased because Iโ€™m a superfan of @karaswisher.bsky.social, but this episode was beyond fantastic. Super meaningful and insight-triggering questions (and answers). So worth it, and love all the positivities we can get.

Thank you Kara๐Ÿ’•

America's media consolidation nightmare.

CBS, CNN, HBO, MTV, Warner Bros, Paramount, TikTok, SpongeBob ... How much media can any one billionaire family control? And what happens when so much culture gets captured and politically reshaped?

This conversation with @hankgreen.bsky.social & @reckless.bsky.social is well worth your time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMjL... Amongst many other things, it talks about a way out from the reality that media, like most businesses, is not a venture-capital-shaped enterprise!

DOD claim: โ€œThis narrative is fake and being peddled by leftists in the media.โ€

Just added @status.news @oliverdarcy.bsky.social to my subscriptions (which is on Beehive NOT Substack). Worth every penny.

Also, I canceled my HBO subscription which was about to *double*. Good riddance.

In the end I'm still very much in the black and better informed all things considered.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Every day at 9 AM, Ukraine comes to a standstill.

The nation observes a minute of silence in honor of the soldiers who gave their lives defending Ukraine, and the civilians killed by Russiaโ€™s attacks.

This Tuesday, that silence marks a grim milestone: the war enters its fifth year.

I actually came across some of your feeds while surfing yesterday and noticed there was no user attribution on them. There's a bug in here somewhere that we'll get to the bottom of ASAP.
