Breaking my ~2 year Tweet hiatus to say thank you to Marcus Smart.
Absolutely devastated right now — my favorite Boston athlete in a long time.

Congrats to everyone — such an amazing milestone and payoff for years of hard work.
This is BIG. Today, @1stDibs is a #NasdaqListed public company. Tune in at 3:30pm ET to watch CEO @rosenblattdavid ring the Closing Bell to celebrate the occasion bit.ly/3wdkHN0

Looking for a Co-Founder & CEO for itsbeam.com/
If you're passionate about the creator economy, strong on marketing and biz side, and looking to BUILD - hit me up (DMs open).
OR if you know anyone who might be a fit, please share 🙏
I guess the answer is because Twitter will cut you off at the knees. Very sad to see Nuzzel get shutdown. Been a mainstay of my home screen for as long as it’s existed.
Hopefully Twitter builds that better version I’ve wanted themselves and soon.
Why has nobody built a better version of Nuzzel?
Not shitting on Nuzzel — I love it — but I don’t think it’s actively being developed anymore and it’s an incredibly powerful tool / beachhead for a Twitter power user product.
Feature requests for the Nest App:
* Update my schedule with something other than the terrible drag UI
* Clear and then set the same schedule across all my rooms
* Create seasonal schedules
Probably a lot more, but these seem obvious... the app is frustratingly bad.

The replies in this thread are really good. Lot to unpack and digest here.

Was just telling @hillarycov how excited I was to watch the golf at Riviera today — amazing golf course in perfect firm + fast conditions on a windy day ... and not 2 minutes later they delay because too windy.
I’m spiraling — devastating.

Nothing worse than people in power virtue signaling and acting like they have zero agency on matters they can directly impact.

Absolutely colossally bad decision by RH.
Makes absolutely clear that all they care about is catering to hedge funds so they can keep making money front-running.

Lmk if you wanna play next time, going to do this monthly.
Being able to see which of my contacts are shared by Clubhouse users is pretty fascinating.

This is a great and also terrifying piece.

Interesting thread — the fact that there were 20k exits for venture backed business in last 10 years really surprised me.
1/ Lots of talk in VC about the power law - ie small number of companies that are responsible for a large proportion of overall value. But is this actually true or just one of those urban myths?
