- For @WSJ to say flat out that SVB could have failed because they added non-white men to their board shows how far behind the times (and certifiably stupid) this publication really is. It makes me so angry and very sad. WSJ readers and staff deserve better.
- Replying to @JessicalessinEqually surprised by the idiocy of the statement as the chauvinism. Implies that to get a woman or black person on a board you have to be so distracted that you can’t appropriately manage interest rates??? Sure. Yeah.
- It's not every day you see a new media company launched by two smart women. Congrats. @bariweiss and @NellieBowles. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
- The Facebook whistleblower says she doesn’t need financial support because she bought “crypto at the right time.” She is in Puerto Rico in part to join her crypto friends, who are there seeking a tax shelter. Now I’m entertained.
- Can someone explain to me why the idea of charging power users is so bad? LinkedIn charges power users. Amazon charges power users.
- So, @elonmusk tells world that he will be on Clubhouse tonight but many reporters can’t listen because Marc Andreessen (Clubhouse’s biggest investor) blocks them. So, yeah, reallly time to think abt power powerful people have to shape narrative exactly as they want. #propaganda
- Replying to @JessicalessinThe only plausible explanation for why this person wrote that is that he was playing to audience somehow, which is super distressing. He thought it would get a laugh or a non from people who think the press has gone too "woke." Gosh, when did everyone stop thinking?
- 1/Some special news today! It's been a very sad and crazy times for newsrooms and journalism internships are suffering. So, a bunch of us editors are working together to provide a "virtual" summer school for any young person who wants to pursue a career in the business.
- Replying to @TaylorLorenzI don't fully agree with @stephkorey on the media but this this totally coherent. I don't think she's saying that every reporter just wants to drive clicks. She's talking about a very real dynamic in the news business. What did you think showed 0 understanding?
- 95% fake!!! IRL raised $200 million from Softbank, Founders Fund and others. And a probe found, 95% of its users were fake. Following a series of pieces from @theinformation, it is shutting down. Great reporting @matousekmark
- Replying to @streiffredstate and @WSJThe owner and founder of a large digital media publication who spent 8 years as a reporter at the wall street journal. And you?
- The legacy of today’s Apple news will be that AI is a feature not a product.
