Really excited to announce Root Ventures Fund 4, our new $190M seed fund supporting technical founders working on hard problems with up to $5M at any stage with “seed” in the title.

We are so grateful to @EricNewcomer for perfectly capturing our vibe in his article below: 👇

Having read thousands of minutes of Trump’s thoughts direct to tweet, just like everyone else has, there is only one explanation for this letter.

Trump thought so little of Biden he told someone else to write a nice note and signed his name to it without reading it.

The letter — which Trump wrote by hand using his signature black Sharpie — is printed in Biden’s forthcoming presidential memoir.

Pro tip to bad faith ludditie propagandists: you can 3x any video to make a Waymo look like it’s speeding.

This incident is a problem without lying to make it look also 3x more dangerous than it was.

Video shows a Waymo in San Francisco on I-280 speeding past traffic as the California Highway Patrol performs a traffic break. The Waymo is seen trying to go around the CHP patrol cars, even at one point turning its blinker on. For more information, abc7news.com/19150225/

We did it everyone! Parroting the same recycled tweet/take of “why don’t San Francisco billionaires invest in the arts, hospitals, parks, etc.” every few months finally made a difference!
