During my time at @YCombinator, my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I worked tirelessly to be there for her while also building @Reddit, but the reality was that a frequent $200 plane ticket to visit her was a huge financial strain, and we didn’t have endless money in the

She fought for her life, for our child, for recognition, for equal pay, for women’s rights. She never gives up. I had this made for @serenawilliams last night after her match with some home videos from 1 year ago this week. Help me make sure she sees it!. #iloveyouserena

I co-founded @reddit 15 years ago to help people find community and a sense of belonging. It is long overdue to do the right thing. I’m doing this for me, for my family, and for my country.

I've resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate, + I will use future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community, chiefly to curb racial hate, and I’m starting with a pledge of $1M to @kaepernick7’s @yourrightscamp.

Days after our baby girl was born, I kissed my wife goodbye before surgery and neither of us knew if she would be coming back. We just wanted her to survive—10 months later, she's in the #Wimbledon final. @serenawilliams will be holding a trophy again …

Software is written by humans who have bias, the training data is generated by humans with bias -- it's not malicious (in most cases) but it does absolutely exist, @AOC is correct.

Words can't describe how liberating it is (as a career-driven, ambitious AF business leader) to have a wife who has already accomplished so much -- especially when you consider where she started and what she overcame to accomplish it.

She runs NY. Olympia had such a good time she asked to run the track at the end and I had to oblige. We gifted dozens of NY track youth tickets to this event because these kids deserve to be part of history - if they can see a professional path, everything changes.

This is why people are mad. Retail investors don't get this privilege. When 2008 happened -- the *public* picked up the tab. But social media was nascent back then. The world has changed. The people are connected.
