Still remember Brandon talking about “weed dude” and this opportunity that made me so angry because it meant he would leave Chicago. I’m now so grateful that because of it, it brought him to New York. 🥹

I just read this and man... I forgot how FUN BuzzFeed was, at its best. It was the most fun I've ever had in my life.

In an unoriginal regurgitation WSJ column of what everyone else has already said about SVB mess, to drop this kind of nonsense in at the end is heinous and tiresome. But these types never fail to use every chance to play their sad grievance violin, no matter how unrelated.
