When you have Chesa-loving former Gascon operatives as your right hand, you can count on destroying SF as the next step.

Say it. Do it. Repeat.

Some people won’t say it. Many people won’t do it. And even more people won’t make it a habit.

It = your dream.

This evening I ran into a startup founder visiting San Francisco from Utah, on the street next to Dolores Park,

It was their first time and they'd never seen the city from 20th & Church, so I made them walk with me a block to show them my favorite spot in the world
Daniel Lurie is spending an outrageous amount of money attacking Farrell and it's working

Preview of his his mayorship: nonstop Lurie mega-failures inflicted by his nonprofit apparatchiks.

He'll be waving from podiums while the city burns.
Epic talk tonight with bchesky.twitter capping off the YC F24 kickoff event.

Absolute full floor standing ovation, have literally never seen the whole room stand up immediately to applaud a speaker at YC but it was really that good.

So proud of YC S24

Super strong batch 🫡

Reasoning, ability to take actions, ability to have normal human phone calls, read emails and reply, write code, be a patient sidekick— all of these things are here

They are definitely not evenly distributed yet. But they will be.
The killer app for Meta’s Orion glasses will be face recognition and telling you what to talk about
