I don't think any of us know exactly how the transition will go down... except that it's going to including a LOT of jobs being retired in a short period of time.

Has the world ended yet?

Anything in the news?

Wow

Trump will pile up 250-500 lawsuits in his second presidency.

1% will go to trial

He will be found guilty in 50% of those

Then there will be a bunch of pardons.

This is how our system works/fails.

I think we know that our leaders, from Pelosi to Trump to Biden, are grifting at this point... the question is a) is it legal and b) what laws must change to make it not legal.

1. Government spending & tax policy
2. Trade policy
3. Wars
....
134th: trolling about gifts and grifts

focus on 1, 2 and 3

Been working on air quality in the house since moving to Austin, which has something called “cedar fever,” which is an allergic reaction to the pollen produced by juniper trees.

I solved it:

Airthings View Plus to test the air
Coway Airmega to clean the air
Frigidaire 22 Pint Dehumidifier

Since we moved to Austin last year, we’ve decided to rent or sell our huge loft in San Francisco.

We had a dozen team members and a giant podcast studio at the loft. It’s a killer space in a GREAT location with two parking spaces.

We’ve started a new index of private companies called the TWIST500 (twist500.com).

These are the most important, venture-backed, and highly valued private companies.

The website is built on CODA, which is fantastic.

Alex Wilhelm, my co-host on This Week in Startups, manages it.

nice... it worked!

I’m testing Micro.blog, a tool for posting to Threads, BlueSky and LinkedIn simultaneously.

Bummer it doesn’t post to Twitter/X and SubStack notes.

It's all good.

Many, many reasons to hate me... if you need to workshop a better tweet let me know.

Most folks go for lucky/fat/dumb, so I would start in that zone, then go after balding/irrelevant/Ozempic.

Breaking news: Brilliant and talented people ALSO get to be wrong sometimes. 😜

Note the date on that post David.

Thank you for creating podcasting, Dave!!!

If you're ever in Austin, do say hell,o and let's get some brisket

I am?! 🤣
