As the world is— understandably— focused on Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine, the Kremlins’s abuses at home are getting far less attention: Russia Legalizes Massive DNA Collection Without Oversight hrw.org/news/2023/02/0…

Why is US law enforcement & media coverage so focused on knowing the motive of perpetrators of mass shootings? Wouldn’t this effort be better spent asking “how did he get the gun(s)” and “what behavioral signs did we miss that could have helped prevent the attack.” #GunViolence

What an honor it has been to serve @HRW under the visionary leadership of @KenRoth. Over three decades, his expertise, professionalism, empathy and fearless pursuit of justice helped make @HRW one of the world's most authoritative and impactful human rights organizations.

It is my privilege to hand the baton to @TiranaHassan who today takes over the leadership of @HRW as interim executive director. The organization is in very good hands.

Modern times in Estonia. A robot which had become stuck in the snow, saw me coming, and asked with a synthesised voice whether I could help out. So I did, and both of us carried on with our day.

Looking back on our first venture fund (IV 1, $180M) in 1998 and the incredible road that has led to this day and this announcement, I’m so grateful for all of the trust, belief and support of our investors, founders and team.

I’d give @f1 owner Liberty Media an A+ for their genius media strategy (Netflix docu-series) but a C- for their tech product execution: f1tv app is $79 and is very poor experience. Image and sound not synchronized. No native app for AppleTV. Need to up their game. Not 🚀 science.

Every effort must be made to save Alexei Navalny.

As the Kremlin puts Alexei Navalny's life in jeopardy through medical neglect, Western leaders should make clear that his health and freedom will be their personal mission, one that will not fade with the news cycle, until he walks out of prison gates. cnn.com/2021/04/19/opi…

7/ Those ingredients made today’s IPO milestone possible. It’s bound to get even more interesting from here. It’s been a long march, but Roblox is now on the cusp of realising what futurists have long predicted – a genuine metaverse.

6/ Roblox’s real value springs from its founder @DavidBaszucki’s deep understanding of our visceral human need to connect, create and experience things together, & from its unique architecture.

1/ @Roblox ($RBLX) could be considered a 21st-century Disney: a category-defining media company that surfed waves of demographic and technological change to create totally new forms of entertainment and human interaction. Thread 👇 indexventures.com/perspectives/r…

An alleged Saudi troll campaign is trying to give a low Rotten Tomatoes ranking to this film on the Saudi government's murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Evidently Saudi authorities don't want us to watch this film. To counter that, please RT this recommendation. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
