Marc Benioff has had a lot to say about San Francisco lately. My new story out in @sfstandard today finds that not only is he increasingly checked out of the city — he’s not even registered to vote here

After he called me from his private plane, Marc Benioff called @eshugerman. Her story is another great read as Dreamforce begins. https://t.co/4Se93MbDky

this is probably a good time to share that i did the "high raw" vegan diet for a year in college (I even had an instagram dedicated to it) and I am STILL dealing with the health consequences
Karolina spent years idolizing raw vegan influencers on Instagram. She went to Bali to meet them — and never came home. My deep dive on fruitarianism — a group of people who exclusively eat raw fruit — is up on NY Mag today.

You think this is a story about one incredibly unwell, awful woman but then it quotes her VC peer saying surrogacy should allow for better filtering of the "database of wombs" and you realize it's a story about tech/VC culture, which is a threat to us all
