🧵I asked venture capitalists what made them stop and think last week. @Dama_Yanthy of @bg_ventures was moved by Ruha Benjamin's "Imagination: A Manifesto" – a hopeful antidote to dominant tech narratives that challenges us to radically reimagine public good.

We need more people willing to call out BS even when it's against their best interest, why do comedians seem to be the only ones willing to do this
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

It's pretty cool to see this being explored through a range of viewpoints at DF, for example in @j_stein7's exploration of the TV https://t.co/sQB6zyBE3J

I've been thinking a lot about language and the terminology we use for certain things, amid a shift away from saying "climate tech" to "resilience", as well as the emergence of things like "deep" thinking and "wild" swimming...
