Hey, America, psst. Is there some way to hold a vote of “no confidence” for the entirety of congress? Are we at the point of “whoever’s in, vote em out” or am I not tracking closely enough?

“Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” Mkay. For the love of all that’s holy, let’s leave the guns to themselves and stop giving them to people.

Zuck's longevity remains remarkable

I heard Sam Altman was fired for covering up the fact that ChatGPT’s underlying model is actually a huge team of fast typing filipino kids 🤯

I’ve been rubbernecking at the OpenAI drama like a champ and still am not sure what happened. But I gotta admit - having 700+ out of 750 employees put their job security and names on the line to support Sam Altman has got to be the most potent and meaningful validation to be found.

Heading home from a great day in SF. After yesterdays university testimony, i had an obligation to wear this hat.

Really, REALLY great talk from one of Chicago’s living founder legends, Tim Barry, who is mega successful, driven, humble, kind, and considerate of others in equal measures. Plus I had a great view of kevin willer’s hair, which continues to wow. 10/10. Nicely done Betsy Ziegler.

Such a fun evening with the most amazing women (#PowerCoven represented!) with trip jacks and making the 8:33pm metra with mere seconds to spare to end the night. Thank you International Women's Forum and Thea Durfee Polancic for the invite!

Air travel can bring out the best and worst of us. I try to live and let live accordingly. But my new version of a monster is the parent who lets their child play kid shows on their iPad at full volume sans head phones for an entire 4 hour flight. #nailsonachalkboard

Where’s the @houseofthedragon support group I’m currently in dire need of? This is way too stressful for a Sunday. #bigsad #HOTD

I have accepted that domestic travel can either be a predictable kind of miserable or pure hellscape but zero communication for a planned 6am departure out or SFO to ORD that just got delayed, for the fifth time, to 1:15pm is a new low even for you americanair. 🤦‍♂️

Someone text me when it’s over. I can’t handle the play by play.

Reminder that Google Maps only exists because of one 100-1000x engineer who rewrote all the code in one weekend

When women get in a room to solve challenges, great things happen. So thankful to Amanda Lannert and our friend Aimee Schuster for getting a group of badasses together to talk about how to drive solutions in Chicago. Rise Chicago
