The B:Side Way is the leadership philosophy we've developed and adopted at @bside_capital . It's worked wonders for us, and I think it can do the same for you. Check it out to learn more.

Thrilled to see the Russian Army pushed back and retreating in response to the brave Ukrainian offensive, but I can't help but worry that the next few days will be especially dangerous for the world. #Putin has been backed into a corner (of his own making)...what happens next?

@EricIdle I suppose that's what matters. Python was such a huge part of my childhood, and I guess I never let go of the childish (and totally unreasonable) idea that you were all the best of friends.

2020 has been…well, let’s just say “less than ideal." I know that a lot of entrepreneurs out there are dealing with depression and feel like they don't have anyone to talk to. I wrote this for @medium to let those people know that they're not alone

@mtmalinen I'm the farthest thing from a military expert, and I'm curious. From your perspective, what factors make the Russian military of 2023 more formidable than say, peak Soviet era? I was under the impression it was weaker than many anticipated due to decades of grafts

@DavidSacks @benshapiro @DavidSacks - Honest question: How would you view a Chinese invasion of Taiwan? Would you view that as more of a risk to U.S. interests than Crimea or Donbas? Or would you view that as on par with the Russian invasion of Ukraine? I ask because there seems to be a lot of division
