Congrats, @LewisHamilton. Love the rainbow helmet. How about thanking the people at the factory rather than the guys and girls? I’m sure you don’t mean to leave anyone out, or forget that gender isn’t always that black and white.

This is what teamwork sounds like. As @SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endeavour begins its flyaround of the @Space_Station, @Astro_Sabot shares words of farewell for his departing Crew-2 colleagues:

And IM also over hearing people say “well they should stop resisting” STHU AND WATCH THIS VIDEO!!! Actually watch first and then sit there with your tail between your legs with no leg to stand on. We’re damned if we do comply and we’re damned if we don’t comply. 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
1. White man refuses to comply with police orders. 2. He resists arrest. 3. He goes to his car and opens the door. 4. He attacks police officer. 5. He chases police officer. 6. He tries to steal police officer’s car. 7. He is never shot by police.

This week we made donations to help in two major disasters: Beirut (where we were exactly one year ago), and the USPS. Only made sense after reading the headline "Worried voters are buying stamps and merch to fund the USPS" and seeing this tweet. #SupressTheVirusNotTheVote
Nothing says summer like ordering stamps while crying.
This week we made donations to help in two major disasters: first, cash to a restaurant we loved in Beirut, then overbuy stamps and other items from the USPS store.

Such a great point regarding the messiness in coronavirus info. Science is messy, generally public does not witness it happening in real time
Replying to @ASlavitt
All the changing information makes people confused, or even, distrustful. Here’s my message. The messy process. This is how it is SUPPOSED to work. 5/

I wish I could get @spacex spacesuit-print sweats to watch launches in and feel like an astronaut (works for sports teams, eh?). Also, why isn't there yet an @spacex @LEGO_Group lego set?

I’ve become convinced that the very best founders don’t launch MVPs, but instead rely on conviction built through domain experience to commit to a main attack and put all their resources behind it. @hulu, @zoom_us, @joinHandshake all being great examples buff.ly/2yCMt9n

This is amazingly good, useful, needed, and spot on.
Since I prefer to lead seed and series A financings, we frequently get asked by founder for advice on how to run a board meetings. Here is the answer.
Optimistic thinking is easy. Exponential thinking is HARD.

It is shocking how often startups fail because of the personality flaws and deep seated childhood traumas of their founders and execs. Get therapy. Get exec coaching. Do inner work. It will save you if you let it. You’ll solve problems now and prevent problems in the future.
