Shipbuilding is a national priority again, and US yards still plan multi-billion dollar builds on whiteboards.
I left Blue Origin to fix that. Space Grid is now live in shipyards, and @TBBWMagazine just covered why it matters.
Thanks to Chuck Merlis for the feature. Link below.

It's kind of funny that tornadoes are basically an American thing.
Other places just don't get nearly as many tornadoes.

Led by @RyanQualtrics and @ryanjsweeney’s @halo_fund, with participation from existing investors.
And we're introducing Flex Global.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?
Because we gave them that L in 1776.

If Wyndham goes on and wins he’ll have won a US Open in a 45 minute period on a Thursday evening. There is admittedly some saltiness in this opinion but personally don’t think that’s a great look for the tournament

Proud to see Flex listed by Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2026 list with great company like Nvidia, Anthropic, Robinhood, Bilt, Plaid, and Circle. Day 1.

No database company has grown this fast before. That makes it hard to predict by analogy how big @supabase could end up being and is probably a sign they might be more than just a database company. Congrats on the raise @kiwicopple @AntWilson and team!

Free speech has many fans in theory, but almost no true believers in practice.

Not only has Lemonade denied the couple of claims I submitted last year but they are now increasing my pet insurance from $50/mo to $77/mo for *each* dog.
Worst pet insurance company I've ever used. Will be canceling and finding a new provider

yc taught me that pretty much everything in a startup is a shots on goal problem.
not finding enough customers? you haven't done enough cold outbound. customers not loving your product? you haven't found your early adopters.
once you understand this mindset, every failure just becomes an incremental step to success.

You'll notice that many Texas-based food brands are *not* on this list
Brands like Siete, Kettle & Fire, Force of Nature are not afraid if Texas simply requires *labeling* ingredients that are banned in other countries
Big Food is scared. We aren't.
Texas - pass SB 25!

people don’t realize how heavily subsidized AI is right now
your o3 prompts probably cost more in electricity alone than your subscription fee
remember when uber was awesome and cheaper than a taxi? yeah, that.

Todd: Our home number is XXX-XXX-1073. You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married for 10 years. She’s pregnant with our 3rd child. Tell her that I love her (choking up) I’ll always love her..(clearing throat) We have two boys. David, he’s 3 and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them (choking) tell them that their daddy loves them and that he is so proud of them. (clearing throat again) Our baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultra sound. It was great. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy ... ... ... Lisa?
Lisa: (barely able to speak) I’ll tell them, I promise Todd.
Todd: I’m going back to the group -- if I can get back I will...
Lisa: Todd, leave this line open...are you still there?
Lisa: (dials the phone) Hello, FBI, my name is Lisa Jefferson, I’m a telephone supervisor for GTE. I need to report a terrorist hijacking of a United Airlines Flight 93...Yes I’ll hold.
Goodwin: Hello, this is Agent Goodwin. I understand you have a hijacking situation?
Lisa: Yes sir, I’ve been talking with a passenger, a Todd Beamer, on Flight 93 who managed to get to an air phone unnoticed.
Goodwin: Where did this flight originate, and what was its destination?
Lisa: The flight left Newark New Jersey at 8 A.M. departing for San Francisco. The hijackers took over the plane shortly after takeoff, and several minutes later the plane changed course -- it is now flying east.
Goodwin: Ms. Jefferson, I need to talk to someone aboard that plane. Can you get me thru to the planes phone?
Lisa: I still have that line open sir, I can patch you through on a conference call. Hold a mo...
Todd: Hello Lisa, Lisa are you there?
Lisa: Yes, I’m here. Todd, I made a call to the FBI, Agent Goodwin is on the line and will be talking to you as well.
Todd: The others all know that this isn’t your normal hijacking. Jeremy called his wife again on his cell phone. She told him more about the World Trade Center and all.
Goodwin: Hello Todd. This is Agent Goodwin with the FBI. We have been monitoring your flight. Your plane is on a course for Washington, DC. These terrorists sent two planes into the World Trade Center and one plane into the Pentagon. Our best guess is that they plan to fly your plane into either the White House or the United States Capital Building.
Todd: I understand. Hold on...I’ll...I’ll be back..
Lisa: Mr. Goodwin, how much time do they have before they get to Washington?
Goodwin: Not long ma’am. They changed course over Cleveland; they’re approaching Pittsburgh now. Washington may be twenty minutes away.
Todd: (breathing a little heavier) The plane seems to be changing directions just a little. It’s getting pretty rough up here. The plane is flying real erratic. We’re not going to make it out of here. Listen to me. I want you to hear this. I have talked with the others -- we have decided we would not be pawns in these hijackers suicidal plot.
Lisa: Todd, what are you going to do?
Todd: We’ve hatched a plan. Four of us are going to rush the hijacker with the bomb. After we take him out, we’ll break into the cockpit. A stewardess is getting some boiling water to throw on the hijackers at the controls. We’ll get them and we’ll take them out. Lisa, will you do one last thing for me?
Lisa: Yes. What is it?
Todd: Would you pray with me?
They pray
Todd: (softer) God help me...Jesus help me...(clears throat and louder)
Todd: Are you guys ready?
Todd Morgan Beamer: Let’s Roll...
