Every Black woman CEO that has ever tried to raise money for her startup, but was told to come back when she had "traction," should read and reread again the story of how SBF was funded. 🤡

He was caught playing a computer game while pitching VCs. Literally online gaming during his pitch meeting. League of Legends.

And. They. Funded. Him. 🤦🏿‍♂️

I care much more about fixing this broken system than I care about how many days SBF plays pickleball at Club Fed.

@solownh @dougiec3 how would having a wife and daughter prove you're not a misogynist? And just because he's happy doesn't mean they are.

When we were young
and angry
my friends and I
would roll our eyes
at the old hippies at the protests
with their peace sign placards,
we saw ourselves as radicals
and them as old fools,
but now that I am older
and still angry
I sadly appreciate
how radical a demand
peace can be.

Who’d a thunk it?

Sam Bankman-Fried found guilty on all seven counts https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/02/sam-bankman-fried-found-guilty-on-all-seven-counts/

"As Jews, were have an obligation to make clear in our own communities that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism—and that the calls for a cease-fire shouldn’t be feared but embraced. We are already doing this at demonstrations around the world, and it marks a profound political shift."

Some of you don't come from a family where "Is the political situation bad enough for us to flee the country?" is a regular topic of dinner conversation and it shows.

"In Memoriam of Python 2

Today, on the Day of the Dead 2023, we at the Internet Archive honor the death of Python 2. Having mostly emerged from one of the greatest software upgrade SNAFU’s in history—the migration from Python 2 to Python 3—we now shed a tear for that old version that served us so well."

Wow. A report by Roger Sollenberger from The Daily Beast reveals that the new Speaker, Mike Johnson, claims not to have ANY bank account or assets in his family worth $5,000. His financial disclosures for years have shown nothing. Is he really living paycheck to paycheck, or is he hiding his true net worth? I mean, the guy is in the top 12 percent of income earners. Something doesn’t smell right here.

So, Patreon made some changes this month that changed the location of a checkbox to charge patrons to a harder-to-find place, and ALSO made it impossible to see if a post is paid for in the browser. Thanks to that, patrons weren't charged for 2 of my 8 videos in October.

@ct_bergstrom "Also, do not even ask for extra time beyond the submission deadline. We do not, despite what you may have been told, grant PNAS extensions."

I'm done reporting on the Young Republicans of Texas and the RPT. I've run into an obstacle I cannot possibly overcome.

I stand with the Israeli people, but NEVER with Netanyahu.
I stand with the Palestinian people, but NEVER with Hamas.

Looking forward to seeing the chum salmon arrive in my area again. This photo is from last year in Carkeek Park in Seattle. While their ocean phase is silver, their freshwater spawning phase develops some exciting colors and stripes! Do you have winter runs of salmon near you? I'm looking for more places for photos.
