⚡️ Some news! I’m thrilled that my long-time colleague, co-investor and friend,
@aroetter
, has joined
@MoxxieVentures
full-time and we’ve raised an $85M Fund together!
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!
With the heaviest of hearts, I said goodbye to my dad today. He died from complications caused by Coronavirus. It was devastating to not be there in person, but I'm grateful for the caregivers & friends who helped me VC w/ him in the final hours to tell him how much he was loved.
Is anyone else having this conversation?
Teen: Mom, can X come over?
Mom: No, honey, no friends over. We're in self-quarantine.
Teen: But mom, X doesn't have coronavirus!
Mom: Sweetheart, you don't know that. We have to be careful.
Teen: I HATE YOU! You are the worst!

Hi Chuck, my dad and I used to watch your shows together. My dad was a lifelong Republican. He died of COVID-19 a few months ago and I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with the election. I'm heartsick about it, too.
My father has Alzheimer's and is in a nursing home in Colorado. He has had a 102 degree fever for four days & there are 2 cases of coronavirus from staff members. The promised tests have not arrived. I've never felt so helpless and heartbroken. Can you help,
@GovofCO
? 🙏
When I worked at Twitter, we thought it was a good idea for world leaders to have a platform to speak directly to constituents.
The use case of announcing and/or threatening war is an outrageous abuse of the platform and most importantly, the Constitution.
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!
My dad has Alzheimer's and tested positive for COVID-19. So did the majority of patients & staff members at his Colorado nursing home.
I'm heartbroken, but can't get over the courage & compassion of the caregivers who are making sure he is comfortable. They are my heroes.❤️🙏
In a million years, I never thought I would feel this, let alone Tweet this, but I would not recommend any person work at Twitter nor any brand advertise on Twitter given this toxic takeover.
NEW: Elon Musk sent Twitter staff an email with the subject line “a fork in the road.” He said: “to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mens working long hours at high intensity.” 1/

Can you imagine being sick with one of the most terrible cancers, at age 87, and working selflessly every day to protect the rights of Americans and the integrity of our democracy?
I hope we can honor her the same way she honored us.
My biggest fear is that my dad might die alone. And sadly, that fear is shared by so many families. Everyone deserves the dignity of saying goodbye. Here's a way to help more patients and families at this heartbreaking time.❤️
In 2009, our small digital team in the Obama White House created to help the public understand the risk of new virus strains and how to stay safe. Here's an old mockup.
Trump's team took it down. Because Obama's team created it.
471 days after my dad died of Covid, our family finally gathered from across the country to celebrate his life and give him an honorable and loving goodbye. Rest in peace, Dad. ❤️🙏
🙏 A year ago today, my dad died from Covid. It has been a heartbreaking year for so many people.
But I'm filled with hope & gratitude. Today, I received my second vaccine. Thank you to the caregivers, frontline workers & scientists who have helped build a brighter future. ❤️
Dear young voters,
This is what happens when young people don’t vote. This is your chance to end our national suffering and embarrassment.

If 1% of it is invested in El Salvador, that would increase our GDP by 25%.
On the other side,

Dear
@facebook
employees: there are so many great places to do your best work. Facebook is not one of them. This once worthy mission of connecting the world, is only serving to reinforce and spread hate and systemic racism. Don't ruin your career and more importantly, your soul.
⚡With bitcoin at an all-time high, the U.S. government firing on all cylinders and the financial markets as predictable as ever, I’ve decided there’s never been a better time to become a full-time investor!

An important lesson I learned in Boulder: if someone asks if you run (bike, ski, etc), the answer should always be no because you risk them inviting you on a 100 mile run or some kind of lunatic outdoor excursion. 🏃♀️🥴
My son shared his college essay with me. It's about his love of cooking inspired by how bad the food was at home growing up. He has fallen to third place in my favorite child leaderboard (out of 3). But if this gets him into college, we're good. cc

I was invited by my teenager to do a TikTok and I practiced so hard and thought I was so good and then she walked away in disgust and I’m nobody again.
When airpods first came out 3+ years ago, I resisted buying them because they seemed so easy to lose.
I finally broke down and bought them last week. I love airpods!
And today, I realized I lost them. I hate airpods. 🤦♀️

Goodnight moon,
Goodbye goons,
Goodbye very bad soon-to-be ex-President born with a silver spoon.
Goodnight stars,
Goodnight air,
Goodnight to our very tired and hopeful citizens everywhere. ❤️🇺🇸
This looks like a tough night for

& for women everywhere wondering why one of the most prepared & qualified candidates didn't gain traction. But we're stronger for her leadership & should never doubt that women are ready and deserving of these leadership positions.❤️💪🇺🇸
Feeling extra love for those high school seniors, like my twins, who not only lost their final athletic season, senior prom, graduation and are now getting rejections from their dream colleges. This moment sucks, but it does not define you. There are better days ahead.❤️🌈💪
Dear Class of 2020, this is the kind of leadership you deserve, and that you should aspire toward. You are now voters. You can help us rebuild and make the world better. ❤️🇺🇸🎓

I was rejected and waitlisted from all my top choices. I didn't love the college I ending up attending so I studied abroad my Junior and Senior years in France and Israel. Now I'm on the Board of a French public company and I make a decent falafel.
1/ When I was earlier in my career, I couldn't afford exercising my options and often lost out when I left the company. I couldn't round up the capital within 90 days of leaving.
Our neighborhood is out of power and all we see is this terrifying apocalypse. My heart breaks for our local community and for the many families who lost so much, so quickly. 💔
I think everyone could use a lighthearted/happy story right now so here goes:
At the beginning of the pandemic I went through some painful personal stuff and would often go out at night for long walks because no one was around and I couldn’t sleep anyway. One night I was walking
I got my wisdom teeth out two days before
