🤯 DNB * finally * opening up to offer ApplePay to Norwegian consumers, 2 years (!) after the last major Swedish bank enabled it. In a market where more than 30% of 🇳🇴 use DNB but increasingly moved to international competitors for wallet workarounds, it's great to see this shift

OK yeah so hi, one more update—I’m coming *back* to
@stripe as “Head of Craft” on @lil_dill’s team to help drive our continued focus on craft, beauty, and quality. Looking forward to working with many for the 1st, and a bunch of the old crew for the 2nd (or 3rd!) time! 🙏📷🫷

This 👇started off as a thinly veiled excuse to hang out with my two girl crushes @zebriez and @tarstarr, and has since turned into piles of books strewn across the apartment, dozens of hours of weekend recordings, and many struggles learning audio. It’s been an absolute joy.
A bright spot in 2024 has been hanging out with @eekedm and @tarstarr to see what we can learn from longstanding institutions.
Biggest takeaway so far: re-invent or die
We turned our lil’ book club into a podcast and the first two episodes - 👩🚀NASA and 🧱LEGO- are out now!
I hope you like it!! We do!
whether you're fleeing to set up an entity in the US, Switzerland, Spain or Singapore, the number of Norwegian entrepreneurs escaping an unfavorable startup ecosystem is accelerating ⚠️ why this proposal will have ripple effects for decades to come: sifted.eu/articles/leaving-n…

felt special to finally meet Nassima @Afro_Climate after having connected virtually and built together for the past 6 months.
not gonna lie, seeing the not so virtual backdrop of Mauritius 🌊 on our weekly calls made me even more motivated
knowing her is knowing it can be done – at Dublin City, Ireland

I was shocked at the refusal to condemn calls for genocide during yesterday's Congressional testimony from the presidents of MIT, Harvard, and Penn. I ended up watching a few hours of the hearing, and the answers were shamefully evasive and equivocal throughout. As an alum (albeit fleeting) of the first of those institutions, it appears that something is very broken.

I was ashamed to hear the recent testimony of 3 top university presidents. In my personal opinion, it was one of the most despicable moments in the history of U.S. academia. The 3 Presidents were offered numerous opportunities to condemn racist, antisemitic, hate rhetoric and refused doing so hiding behind calls for “context.” The memories of my father’s parents, Abraham and Rachel Bourla, his brother David and his little sister Graciela, who all died in Auschwitz, came to mind. I was wondering if their deaths would have provided enough “context” to these presidents to condemn the Nazis' antisemitic propaganda.
And because dehumanization of the victims makes it easier to “set your own context” and justify anything, here is a picture of Graciela Bourla, who was exterminated in the concentration camp at the age of 17. Unfortunately, no pictures of my grandparents and uncle survived. I still wonder what they looked like.
