They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Great @a16z.bsky.social ep! Notes:
- Revenue's a lagging indicator
- Great GTM can actually hide poor PMF

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable.
2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, "My momma’s ashes were displayed on my table in my tent. I came back one day — and EVERYTHING was gone, including her ashes. They were clearly labled 'In loving memory — my mom, my best friend…' and her name. Her ashes were all that I had left of her. No one stored my stuff. I called tons of places and NO ONE knew anything. It is very difficult for me still, everyday. No warning, no remorse, nothing."
When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos.

I probably don't even need to say this, BUT. Me not posting about every nightmarish thing is not because I am not internally (or externally!) screaming multiple times per day, i just figure you heard about it from 100 other people posting about each new nightmare. I assure you, my soul is cracking.
A new video released by a law firm suing Southern California Edison showed what may have started the deadly #EatonFire in #Altadena, California. The utility company maintained they do not believe their equipment caused the fire.
