Democrats run some of the wealthiest states in the richest country on earth, but we fail at the most basic task of human society: building enough homes. If we can’t solve this in places we govern, it’s no wonder voters are losing faith in the party.

We're at the start of a new private equity X venture capital supercyle: Whether it’s PE funds buying venture backed companies, venture funds launching PE strategies, or startups using PE-like approaches to buy their customers, something big is going on.

AFAIK the case for presidential pardons is that the justice system is imperfect (sometimes slow, arbitrary, cruel). So the president is a safety valve to spare people in exceptional circumstances from those harms. That’s a great case for reform and a terrible case for unlimited, unilateral pardons

Absolutely insane that private commercial trash collection happens in the middle of the night (midnight-4am) with ICE trucks stopping and starting. Unbelievable persistent noise nuisance that could easily be solved with EVs.

Just noticing that @bsky.app doesn’t do locations in profiles. I hope they 1) change that and 2) beef it up as a feature. Always struck me there was a premium search product to build on data like that “everyone I follow in X city” @jay.bsky.team

"Don't quit your day job" isn't an insult. It's genuinely very good advice. Having an income means operating with less financial/time pressure and lets you maintain optionality until it’s time to make a binary call.

5 tarpit ideas that are worth building 1. Ag tech 2. Duolingo for mental health 3. AI travel agents 4. local, offline marketplaces (events, dating, etc.) 5. Content discovery Obviously these are all really hard and probably fail but it's worth studying history and figuring out how to do it anyway

Just got three vials of joint fluid drained from my knee and you can’t convince me it wouldn’t be a good idea to at least TRY injecting it into an old person to see what would happen.

Service Titan theory: getting public just to get a trading price to get more easily taken over and fixed by Thoma Bravo. In the private markets there’s too much to negotiate over; in public markets you simply settle down at a low multiple after 18 months and get taken over in 24.
