So @Penn is where it all started for me, and I am so grateful. It's where I met the friends I'd go on to co-found @EniacVC with. It's where I first figured out that I wanted to build things. And today, I got to go back and lecture hundreds of Penn engineers for the next generation of builders. A few things stuck with me: The ambition is off the charts. Half the questions weren't "should I start a company?" but "I already started one, what do I do next?" They're AI-native in a way we never were. They don't treat AI as a tool to bolt on. It's just how they think about solving problems. The best ones already have founder-market fit. They're not chasing trends. They're working on problems they've lived. That's what we call a Human Unicorn: someone doing their life's work. I went in to teach. I came out more optimistic about what's coming than I've been in a long time. Thank you to epic Profs Babin and Cassel for having me, and to every student who stayed after to pitch me in the hallway. I meant it when I said send we are here to be there mentors.. for life. – at Philadelphia, PA

Americans: Can we please just have affordable gas and groceries? Trump: Best I can do is rename landmarks and bodies of water. 🤦

1/x October is #ADHDAwarenessMonth. Kirby Hansen-McNulty, CEO and founder of @CalibrateADHD, joins me Thursday for Ep. 59 of #ShiningLightOnShadows, “Understanding and Living With ADHD; AI as a Tool for Managing ADHD.” Kirby and I will talk about self-awareness, self-support, burnout and why so many people wait until things reach a crisis before seeking help. I’ll also share how I’ve been using #ChatGPT as one tool to help manage my work with #ADHD. Links / Details: neilparekh.org/post/ep-59-un… 📅 Thursday, Oct. 22 🕖 7pm ET / 6pm CT / 4pm PT My co-host @Dawner100 will be attending “Survivor Like Me: 100 Survivor Takeover,” that night. That’s why she won’t be joining the show. Thank you to @Digimentors for pro bono production support.

2/x Kirby Hansen-McNulty from @CalibrateADHD and I each wrote blog posts for this episode. Kirby: “The ADHD ‘Would Be Nice’ List: Why Self-Care Should Come First” She writes about the #ADHD “would be nice” list, the things we know could help us but continually push behind whatever feels more urgent. That can include getting evaluated, understanding a diagnosis, finding support or simply taking time to understand how ADHD shows up in our lives and building supports that work with our brains rather than against them. 🔗 neilparekh.org/post/kirby-ha… My Blog Post: “AI as a Tool for Managing ADHD.” I write about what I’ve learned since being diagnosed, and how #ChatGPT has become one tool I use to put those lessons into practice. I use it for planning, prioritization, time management and external memory. It has also helped me make work feel more finite and, sometimes, recognize when I’ve done enough. I also write about its limitations. ChatGPT can make mistakes, misunderstand context and become another task in itself. The point is not that ChatGPT is managing my ADHD for me. I’m adapting a tool to support the ways I’m learning to manage ADHD myself. 🔗 neilparekh.org/post/ai-as-a-… Kirby will be my guest on Ep. 59 of #ShiningLightOnShadows, “Understanding and Living With ADHD; AI as a Tool for Managing ADHD.” Links / Details: neilparekh.org/post/ep-59-un… 📅 Thursday, Oct. 22 🕖 7pm ET / 6pm CT / 4pm PT #ADHDAwarenessMonth #MentalHealth

R: Macron is blaming the Iran war and you essentially for the rioting in France  Trump: I think that's the fake news. Who are you with?  R: No, sir. The Daily Wire.  Trump: Oh, Daily Wire is good. Sorry.

>> @BoutrousTed has set a deadline — Thursday at 5 p.m. ET — for the Trump admin to "confirm in writing" that the White House has put a stop to the practice. "If these actions persist, CNN will have no choice but to return to the court to defend its rights..."
New: With the White House excluding CNN from Trump's trips on Air Force One, disrupting a decades-old tradition of pooled TV coverage, an attorney for the network is foreshadowing further legal action. Here's the latest: cnn.com/2026/10/20/media/cnn…

Last night, Alberta voted to remain a part of Canada. A major rebuke of Musk, whose active intervention and poisoning of the discourse in the UK, Germany and elsewhere has been so evil. Also of Trump’s MAGA operatives who’ve been helping the separatists behind the scenes. Gooooo, 🇨🇦!
They would be better off. Alberta and Saskatchewan should separate too.
