Due to exceptionally high PR volumes, please expect a response in two to three business months as we vow to not be this stupid again.

📰 Some news: Today is my first day at PitchBook, where I’m positively pumped to cover VC as a senior reporter. I’ll keep tabs on crypto, while digging elsewhere and learning as I go. Thrilled to join a talented and tenacious news team backed by the best data in the biz.

When did reporters and PR ppl become deathly allergic to phone calls? I’d rather duke it out on a five min call than endlessly email until one of us kicks the bucket. Just circling back to ascertain potential synergies on this! Thx.

@ImNotTheWolf I don’t know you. But I appreciate you sharing this, and I’m sorry — if not surprised — to see the Twitter cheap seats taking shots. Thanks for sharing your personal experience in what can be a brutal public forum. Best of luck in doing what’s best for you 🤝🏻

The top trait in PR people? Building the backbone to tell their biggest, baddest clients one word: "No." No, this does not a press release make. No, this reporter will not care about that. No, you cannot "review" the story before it's published.

My not-so-little-anymore sister, Caroline, has been on my mind. If you haven't heard her story, Caroline is an absolute spitfire of the most empathetic human. She happens to have Down syndrome. If you haven't already, please cut "retarded" from your vocabulary. It's not OK.

Will never understand why reporters and PR ppl are confrontational for confrontation’s sake. You’re always going to score more scoops with honey 🍯 And sources say it’s better for your blood pressure.

On my day off, I am apparently obligated to remind my PR ~friends~ that just bc I talk to your client does not mean I have entered a blood pact to quote them — now, or ever.

@JasonHecarim @coinfessions Bullshit. Perpetuating this stigma is the problem. Competent recruiters & hiring managers work with those who choose to disclose disabilities, not against them. And if they don’t, they should.

Bloomberg did not scoop this story. Our @strack_ben at Blockworks beat Bloomberg by more than two hours to their “scoop.” Give crypto media credit where credit is due. Because that’s far overdue.

Your sources are not your friends. You should get to know them, personally & professionally. You should learn their quirks and enjoy the expense account dinners. But don’t forget the day will come when you have a scoop damaging to their firm, their friends or themselves.

Happy World Down Syndrome Day! I’d be lost without my sister, Caroline — from her infectious cackle to her insistence on never skipping desert. People with DS should be celebrated today and every day. Join in.

A great thing about summer in NY is that one minute you’re wandering the city convinced people watching like this cannot possibly be free and the next you find yourself at a rooftop bar mortgaging your first born child.

@JasonIsbell I'll never forget seeing you live, the roar that went up when you belted out... "But I sobered up and I swore off that stuff — forever this time." Wishing you 11 more years and a lifetime after of sobriety and killer tracks.
