Watched 1 min of each NYC Mayoral candidate's YouTube channel. Seems obvious why Mamdani has pulled into the lead. Also think Brad Lander is an underrated long-shot.

Caught up with a founder working on a treatment for an awful rare skin disease which kills 1/3 of babies born with it. Hearing about his call w/ a dad of an 11 mo old was a gut punch. Biotech startups are a different world.

Less than half of parents feel comfortable leaving their teenager alone in a hotel room while they get breakfast. That's crazy. Mine are 8 and 10, and run around on their own. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/parenting-teen-development-vacation#msdynmkt_trackingcontext=c1c561cb-192d-4243-9b79-a351ee7a0100

John Carmack's talk on his work at Keen Technologies, his AGI co, is great. Goes through a lot of what's unsolved in general intelligence research: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ-An5bhkrs&t=11305s

I don't follow the WNBA. How do Clark's teammates not come out swinging when they do this to their star player? They're literally just standing around watching her get pummeled and knocked down. Do they secretly hate her for some reason?

Crazy bit of this 20VC interview: VC talks about signing a binding agreement for $50m of Theranos stock even after his wife, who's an epidemiologist, told him there's no way it could work (and he had done zero diligence). https://youtu.be/BiJSLd-qzCA?si=nzZP1MmunE79AaE0&t=3355

Wife took the kids in the afternoon so I could go pick up a roti from this awesome place in our old neighborhood and enjoy it on the beach w/ a book. Drove over and shop is closed for Father’s Day. Not even mad. 🫡 Enjoy your day Singh.

As a Bruins fan, this is tough to watch. Happy for Marchand but it stings seeing him in that jersey.

At my first startup we had a shared email for user support. I a/b tested different names and people were noticeably nicer to “Emily Wilson” so that’s who our support email was from then on. She even had a LinkedIn profile.
