Someone I follow on Twitter complained that people thought just because he was a VC he wasn't allowed to have opinions. So I decided to take a look at what his opinion was.#
"I think you should have opinions, but trump watched tv all day, and sold us out any chance he got. He’s a fucking Nazi. When he lost the election he tried to overthrow the government. That’s what you support? I didn’t block you yet, but I did unfollow."#
I don't see him as a troll. I think there are VCs in Calif who have a very limited set of people they talk with, and they actually fit into Trump's target. Even though they;'re hugely rich, young, healthy, super super privileged, they really feel misunderstood and victimized. It's real. They really feel it. #
So it was worth one shake of the shoulders. Hey this isn't a good look.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
