It’s the least you can do, right? #guncontrol

Good riddance to Tucker Carlson & Don Lemon. One spreads malicious lies on national TV and galvanizes racists & anti-immigrants. The other frequently makes ill-informed, misogynistic comments and does not let his guests speak. Good to see the networks taking out the trash.

Lost my legacy blue tick today that I had for years as a journalist. Not going to be paying $8/month when an entire Twitter team came to my former news outlet years ago to have us verified. If Elon Musk can pay for celebrity blue ticks out vanity, he should restore legacy ticks.

Facts.

At the #BerkshireHathaway annual shareholders meeting listening to Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger drop gems. Can’t believe Buffett is 92 yrs old & Munger is 99 yrs old. More impressive than their net worth is their ability to remember dates and numbers like no other!

A lot of people/businesses will also finally get the Twitter handle they want which squatters have been sitting on for years.

I spent 3 years making a documentary on child labor in global supply chains. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would use my supply chain management & distribution knowledge ever again. And here I am, using it in my startup, every single day. Life is full of surprises.

Overheard at Kidsy: 'Make money from saving the planet rather than destroying it.'

Great time to be building a business that tackles sustainability.

Renaming Twitter to X is among top 10 dumbest decisions I’ve seen over years. Twitter’s brand & everything it represented was crystal clear in our minds. To “tweet” & “tweeting” became a verb & part of our language - the holy grail of marketing! What is X? Are we X’ing now?

Sunday mornings in bed with my husband and our 2 smiling, giggling daughters, discussing pancakes vs breakfast tacos is a 10/10 feeling.

One of my favorite journalists. Watching her do what she does is a masterclass in good journalism. Congrats on 40 years at CNN Christiane! Christiane Amanpour cnn.com/2023/09/13/med…

Watching all the boardroom drama unfold at #OpenAI feels like watching the season finale of #Succession.

Today my 3 year old, out of the blue, wrapped her little arms around my neck and said “I wuv you soooo much!” Every fiber of my being filled with happiness and I am convinced that being “wuved” is infinitely better than being loved.

So true. You also give up the right to be lazy, self-serving, self-preserving and so many other things…. If you’re on a team, you work for the team. You do not work for yourself.
