We are proud to announce 8VC Fund VI, with $998 million in new LP capital to back the most fearless and ambitious builders. The world is broken. Let's fix it. To the frontier!

It’s been a mystery why Roman concrete often lasted thousands of years, but ours decays in mere decades. Turns out they incorporated chemicals in a process that induces self-healing; scientists at MIT just figured this all out - in 2022. Extraordinary.
Riddle solved: Why was Roman concrete so durable?

Sorry guys, no rebuilding your fancy houses that burned down by the ocean in LA until there’s a new crack den installed right in the middle of the neighborhood. The area is like D+43; this seems fair. I don’t make the rules 🤷‍♂️.

This looks highly suspect, and worthy of more attention than it's gotten. It now seems clear that dozens of agents and multiple agencies were involved in egging on extremists. "It's classified," is not a good enough answer - our democracy needs details to rebuild trust.

SHOCK: The DoJ now admits that another 40 undercover agents were with the Proud Boys on J6 - from HSI - Homeland Security Investigations. The vast majority of the group was paid by the government as either W2 employees or CHS.

Aren’t you the guy who posted “make American planes crash again” and called non-Muslims “cattle”? It’s not a ‘phobia’. Millions rationally despise you - we know the lies, schemes, and grave danger to our civilization your radical ilk represents. This is a war we will not lose.

They don't hide their Islamophobia. It's just hoods off all the time on the right these days.

1/ States and cities are hiding trillions in debt through accounting tricks that would land private sector CEOs in jail. Time to expose the scandal. To stop crony leaders from hiding massive debts, the incoming administration might fix our misguided govt accounting standards.

“Asylum”. Millions used “human rights” to enter and get free stuff, but it’s a giant scam, perpetrated by far-left NGOs et al. They facilitate fake claims with billions in funding from leftist politicians and bureaucrats who run EU and the USA, regardless of election results.

In Sweden research was done into refugees given asylum for fleeing oppression & living in war zones. They found 79% had returned home on vacation at some time. I have just had a message from a follower that they know of an Afghan who was given a flat, has sublet it & returned

Why have so many of the top builders in the tech world left the Democratic Party? Maybe because it’s become the stupid party, and is promoting idiocracy.

Lots of people are saying this is frivolous because firefighters should have to pass some test, but let's go ahead and look at some test questions so you can see why this test is just way too hard. This first one's a doozy:

Great to see more of my successful friends in tech having the courage to speak out against destructive “equity” initiatives of the radical left. Our civilization will continue to innovate and prosper only if we courageously speak up against these radicals, and embrace merit.

My kid's public high school district started cancelling honors classes in the name of equity. I believe in letting any kid who wants to climb higher up a ladder to do so, and I equally support programs that help kids who don't have the same opportunities or resources to climb

1 / Events in Austin, TX, and DC this week are related: we're engaged in a war that will decide the trajectory of our civilization, and NGO's are a major front. Our governments send hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money annually to unaccountable "non-profit" orgs;

We’re winning in DC, but our cities are still run by the corrupt left. The state of TX needs to confront its runaway cities. There’s no principle of federalism in Texas!

One of many recently jailed for FB comments in the UK, sentenced by the leftist judge (who meanwhile let a child rapist go with NO jail time!), had said that “civil war is here.” This apparently justified his sentence. Interesting. They are VERY afraid of you.

This is Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, she has sentenced an ex-soldier with PTSD, Daffron Williams, to two and a half years in prison for Facebook comments. She also sentenced someone for posting a video on social media to 12 months. But that exact same judge let off a CHILD RAPIST

Year after year, the fraud got more brazen. Money to personal accounts, secret weapon caches, $$$ to former Taliban but no records, $330M in loans to dead people, private jets, parties… And agency accountants deleting records in a hurry before DOGE comes! Now referred to FBI.
