Figma was, IIRC, one of the last deals I brought in as a junior VC before leaving OATV. :) Dylan was one of the first people I met when I moved to SF in summer 2011...he was about to start as a freshman at Brown. Wonderful to see his team's success 10yr later.

"Meta, which after 2016 spent more than $100 million to fund 100 fact-checking organizations, ended a partnership with U.S. fact-checkers." Many thoughts but one is that Meta should be paying Community Notes contributors. It's absurd to contribute for free.

Gabe Kaminsky at The Free Press is shocked & dismayed that a SMEAR CAMPAIGN would take down Friend of TFP Vinay Prasad. So UNETHICAL. Meanwhile, here's Gabe darkly hinting Hunter Biden's Laptop had something to do w/our work. It didn't. We didn't "censor conservatives". But he wrote that we did. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreich57v3yvb2wpnl6cxwyhjjbhw5m23lwjkthawrx342ug2guvrebm https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiecllhpkqdxqzvqf4cvqwnpp63hhgkxtf65cb66oaxyg54nkaoqum
Today's EO & sanctions against a Brazilian judge have nothing to do w/"threats". There's no 1A violation. Whatever you think of Brazil's speech laws, a sovereign country is prosecuting its former pres. Its fight w/X was a corp dispute. Trump is helping his buddy. [www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...](

LMAO okayyy. So yes, in the IC you toss papers that can't be put in trash in burn bags. But "secret rooms"? And they...what...forgot to BURN the bags for 9 YEARS? No digital copies?

Ironically our 2018 era social media argument “freedom of speech not freedom of reach,” argued you could be an expansively tolerant free speech platform w/o *recommending* some content. Adding pushes and suggestions layers in the kind of discovery dynamics that require an editorial stance. RE:

There's no "vision" here. No specifics. Nothing but vague marketing babble. This is the kind of hand-wavy BS monologue you'd hear in a movie from a trope-y New Age CEO. It glosses over what will be significant upheaval with lame platitudes. And I LIKE AI. Why bother? [www.meta.com/superintelli...](

This is the end of a defamation lawsuit that Project Veritas filed against Stanford Internet Observatory, UW, and the NYT back in 2021. It lost its case against SIO in 2022, and was ordered to pay $150k in legal fees. They sue to tie organizations up for years. [www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/b...](
