I donated to your opponent because I saw a video of you denying 10/7 sexual violence. Some friends saw it too and held a fundraiser for your opponent. All registered dems and Biden supporters. You activated a bunch of people with your harmful lies.
That’s it. No AIPAC, no MAGA.
AIPAC and their MAGA billionaires don’t want to see us in power.
They don’t want to see Black and brown, working class people rising up. That’s why they’re spending up to $17k/hr to try and buy NY16.
On June 25 we’re going to prove that the many will beat the money.

I’d like to hear more about the

team that crushed it for a decade to get to today and less about the VCs that invested in the company. VCs fund innovation and deserve praise, but today should be about the founders and operators.
Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that.

I haven’t been this excited about a company since Uber.
Here’s why (🧵):
A quick history lesson on the absurdity of calling Israel stolen land.
The Ottoman Empire conquered Mamluk Sultanate in the 1500s (violently) and ruled it for 400 years.
Then they lost World War I and lost the land. Britain and France divided the spoils and Britain and the UN
I'd like to do a podcast interview or two about my journey to $1M ARR, reached last week.

Any takers?

People incorrectly attribute Ryan’s success to this tweet. The man made the tweet, not the other way around. His infectious hustle took him all the way.
Ryan, thank you for hiring me and changing my life. Congrats on finishing a legendary run!

Fell a hair short of 750 mile running goal. Aiming for 1000 in ‘22. Hold me to it! :)

I’d love to fund (or be a customer of) a company/app that could take pics of my kids’ poop, rashes, eyes, etc. and tell me if there’s an issue. So much of diagnostics is visual, should be a trivial ML problem.
Yes, i just texted my doctor brother a picture of my kids 💩
9 years ago this week we launched uberX in NYC and SF. Uber Black (just "Uber" at the time) had been on the road for about a year in New York and was pretty expensive.

wanted Uber to be more than a high end luxury product.
A brief thread... (1/5)
After being overweight since childhood I lost 60 lbs by thinking differently about my metabolic health. Abandoning calories-in-calories-out and instead focusing on time-restricted eating and a low-carb diet.
Here’s me and the kids in ’14 and ’21. Same combined weight!
What is the two-case rule that public school parents are screaming about? See below for some examples.

Lyft buying motivate is a bit like Uber buying taxi medallions. Yes, exclusive government contracts are useful, but it’s an investment in the past.

2019 was a big health and fitness year for me. Ran 560 miles, PR’d 5K, 10K, Half, and Marathon. <200lbs for the first time in 15 years. Feeling good. More in 2020. Happy New Year!
Health is broken. We should have daily data about what is happening in our biometrics, organs, arteries, etc and know if anything is wrong with our body + the likelihood we will develop certain diseases. Call it a full body telemetry based on daily data and powered by ML/AI

Strongly agree. People are anchored to the norm of giving majority of street space to parked cars. Change that, give more street space to pedestrians, bikes, and scooters, you have city of the future.
Re: Scooters. I understand why some folks are annoyed, but assume streets & spaces were designed to absorb them — I bet 100x more folks would use them & many haters would convert.

I’m thinking one way to do more writing is to record a bunch of audio of myself talking, then get it into a text format, and then have ChatGPT organize and augment the ideas a bit. Has anyone tried this kind of workflow? Any thoughts/tips/etc?

Thank you Zoom & major congrats on your S-1!
During the height of the rideshare wars there were competitors that claimed an edge of being more government friendly. Remember them?
If your entire angle is playing nice with government, you will not affect the needed change. Government drags its feet on radical innovation.

“One thing is for certain: if you want to be sick, don’t do any of these things. Eat as much as you want (no CR), of anything you want (no DR), whenever you want (no TR). This is called the ‘standard American diet.’”
Just remember this is all paid for by the Hotel industry. All the “share better” ads on Twitter, all the campaign donations to elected officials, its Uber vs Taxi all over again. It’s not about rents, it’s about protecting hotel business. Don’t be fooled.
When de Blasio came after Uber in 2015 at the behest of his taxi donors, Adams stood with us before any other major elected leader.
Good to see Adams is still pro-innovation as our mayor-elect!
