There are people in the world saving #whales and #dolphins and there are people in the world slaughtering them. Help put an end to the grind in #faroeislands #stopthegrind #animalcruelty
WARNING ⚠️ GRAPHIC CONTENT - Two weeks ago in Leynar, #FaroeIslands, our crew witnessed the slaughter of 245 pilot whales, including pregnant mothers and calves.
What we saw was not tradition. It was cruel destruction.
Help us put an end to this. youtu.be/iGGzErbvV4g?...

If you’ve been following the #Windsurf saga for the past few days I bet you’ve enjoyed the 🍿. I like the response of Replit’s CEO who offered to hire the rest of the Windsurf employees to join Replit, because I believe having integrity and putting people🥇 is the LR winning formula. #ai #vibecoding

My thesis for AI startups looking to win:
💡 Ship like your runway depends on it—because it does.
💡 Land grab like it’s the 1849 Gold Rush.
💡 And don’t half-bake your features—because the competition’s one update away from eating your lunch.
Early adoption favors the bold + the fast.

8 years ago we backed Circle when stablecoin and institutional adoption of blockchain was still an open question and not a core pillar of the future of Finance.
🥳 Today, Circle (NYSE: CRCL) went public on NYSE!!! 🙌
This is a milestone moment for our Blockchain Fund I.
