VC investor Schneider of True Ventures will be temp CEO.
Every VC investor looks for 1 thing - the Exit.
Positive exits include:
Build to profitability - super rare, no VC is patient enough.
Go public - less rare, still iffy for ROI.
Sell - vast majority of exits.
Expect a sale to an Ellison in 2yr.

Considering how many cons we both are often at, I feel bad it is one of the few I've taken of you. Definitely need to shoot more

Wait, the bigot is onto something here. A core Muslim religious tenet is to care for the poor and the sick.
Clearly no place for that in current American society.

I've given up on the anime Noble Reincarnation. The politics just couldn't compensate for how 50% of each episode is people telling the MC Noah how amazing and brilliant he is.
If that kid had any more smoke blown up his ass, he'd have ass cancer.

A cosplayer is dressed as Juliet Starling from the game Lollipop Chainsaw, in the blue, white and magenta cheerleader uniform. She has her right hand raised at eye level, in a peace sign.

Going back to Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016, at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social when I took this photo of @stardustmegu.bsky.social as Juliet Starling from Lollipop Chainsaw. #julietstarling#lollipopchainsaw #newyorkcomiccon #julietstarlingcosplay#cosplayphotography

Just how many violations of humanitarian laws will it take before we stop supporting the evil Netanyahu regime?

Wayz actually did this to me the first time I drove onto the George Washington Bridge. Except all the lanes were merging streets, and all the traffic was speeding.
My business partner, in the passenger seat, almost shat himself.

These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.

Good. Don't send him ANY other bill to sign. No funding, no nothing. Focus ALL your time on impeachment. #impeachtrump

Man, I miss when costume designers were inspired by medieval manuscripts and directors didn't always say. "No, no! Just brown and gray!"

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

I bought the top three and the Amazing Spider-Man, and they each have one of my favorite villains. Dr. Doom, of course, but also Morbius. And I loved the idea of the Overmind - allegedly more powerful than Galactus but only twice the size of a person.
No idea why I liked Grey Gargoyle so much.

Once again, rusty pruning shears for the abuser. But, in addition, red hot branding irons with the words "rape enabler" on all the leaders involved.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

A pair of cosplayers are dressed as, from left, Bartz and Gilgamesh from the Final Fantasy game franchise. Bartz, mostly in blue, is holding a red-bladed sword across their body, and Gilgamesh, mostly in red and white, is holding two swords across his body. The upper one, in his right hand, is red, orange and yellow and the lower one if blue, gray and silver.

I do think β€œGraham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

OK, my cred isn't as deep as this guy's, but my first username goes back 33 years to when I got the Excalibur BBS GUI to connect to a buddy's bulletin board in Bath, ME.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Susan Collins called the cops because of sidewalk chalk. The woman behind it is running for US Senate. Bangor resident Andrea LaFlamme is publicly identifying herself as the sidewalk chalker as she mounts a longshot campaign for US Senate.
