The moment Travis Hunter made his decision to flip to Jackson State (Via @11AliveNews)
Personally, I’m not at all surprised at how many startup founders come out of @CarnegieMellon I’m just surprised at how many people are surprised at what an absolute tech & startup powerhouse we are...😉
NEW: The Trump administration has rescinded a rule that would have required international students to transfer schools or leave the country if their colleges hold classes entirely online this fall because of the coronavirus pandemic. to.pbs.org/308ggUF

WOW. I. HAVE. NO. WORDS. 😭 Sweden's Princess Sofia has announced she's reducing her Royal duties so she can volunteer at local hospital. She has already completed intensive training to prepare for it. In her new role, she'll be disinfecting, cleaning, & working in the kitchen.
Hundreds of cars wait to receive food from the Greater Community Food Bank in Duquesne. Collection begins at noon. @PghFoodBank @PittsburghPG
3/3 Students and families continue to rely on Niche to find the right school for them, particularly as more of the process will need to be done virtually in the coming months. We’re more committed than ever to our mission of making researching schools easy, transparent, and free
2/3 @NicheSocial The decision to go remote is for the well-being of our employees, their families, and our community. I'm confident that we will come out of this stronger than before.
1/3 @NicheSocial Helping people find where they belong is the very reason we exist. If we're not making decisions in the best interest of people, what do we stand for? In light of the current pandemic, we have asked all Niche employees to work from home starting Monday, 3/16
we invest in mission-driven founders who are leaders in the direct-brand economy. @ThirdLove, @argent, @NicheSocial, @margauxny, @theoliveandjune, #IrisNova @drinkdirtylemon thedtxcompany.com/investments
Pittsburgh shooter is reported to have used an AR-15, the preferred weapon of choice for most mass shooters in America (Sandy Hook, Vegas etc) because they kill lots of people very fast. This is what they look like.. I ask again: why the f*ck are these legal for civilians?

40% of VC's went to Harvard or Stanford, 82% are men, 26% asian, 27% have engineering degrees, and 40% were former operators. Only 10/1500 in the list went to my alma mater @CarnegieMellon. Hard to measure diversity of thought, but background plays a role. medium.com/@kerby/where-d…

The moment Travis Hunter made his decision to flip to Jackson State (Via @11AliveNews)
Powerful morning at #RustbuiltConf @kitmueller 🤩 loved hearing from @lukeskurman @NicheSocial the always inspiring @LeahLizarondo @412FoodRescue and learning tips from @SubtlBeauty founder about self-care. S/o to @reallyNadyli for sharing about the future of coworking!
🕶🕶🕶
No tech conference (h/t @kitmueller ‘s @RustBuiltPgh #RBconf) should be complete without entrepreneurs sharing tech for good (h/t @LeahLizarondo of @FoodRescueHero ) AND also throwing shade on Jeff Bezos moon exploits
.@RustBuiltPgh @kitmueller kicking off and @lukeskurman on staying power.
First up is @lukeskurman, Founder and CEO of @NicheSocial.
A basketball-shooting robot!!! Haven’t seen anything like it since the Spurs sent one to Toronto.
Personally, I’m not at all surprised at how many startup founders come out of @CarnegieMellon I’m just surprised at how many people are surprised at what an absolute tech & startup powerhouse we are...😉
Really @IKEAUSA ?? We place an order for a full kitchen remodel a month ago, we are clear with you about the timing of the project, just today I have to physically go to the store to be told some of the cabinets are backordered until April, and even though you have them in stock
...in other locations, all I get is "sorry" rather than any solution whatsoever. Our kitchen is demo-ed, our contractors are lined up to work and everything else has arrived. I call corporate and the recorded message says "we are too busy to take your call" are you kidding???
I know this doesn't matter, like, at all, but how does @DoorDash bring in $16.5B in orders, earn $879M in revenue and still LOSE $149M?!?! How on earth does a company with a business model predicated on taking money from restaurants AND users spend $1B?! cnbc.com/2020/12/08/doo…
