The Weekly Spill
Welcome to The Weekly Spill—Silicon Bay Partners’ regularly scheduled download of thoughts, takes, and the occasional side-eye at the world as it actually is (not just as it’s pitched in a deck). Each week, we sift through the noise across current events, politics, startups, and financial markets to bring you what matters—and what’s just pretending to.
We aim to keep things light, even when the topics aren’t. That means a bit of satire where it’s earned, a bit of skepticism where it’s called for, and a commitment to staying grounded in facts even when opinions sneak in through the side door. We won’t always be non-judgmental—but we will always try to be clear-eyed.
Think of this as your informed, occasionally irreverent briefing for the week ahead. Read it for insight, stay for perspective, and feel free to disagree—that’s o.k. too. Fair warning: Sometimes we spill more than once a week!
Love & Money You Can’t Have One Without The Other
North Korean cyber attackers spent three weeks manufacturing a fake token and when the moment was right, they were able to steal $286M from Drift Protocol on April 1st in a single transaction. Now, we finally know why Donald Trump fell in love with Kim Jong Un. I suppose love really is blind when money is involved!
The Skies Just Got Friendlier, Baby!
There’s nothing like the joy of childbirth. An expecting mother gave birth during a flight from Jamaica to JFK over the weekend. She’s naming the child “Kennedy.”
Let’s Put ICE on thin ice!
When ICE Agents detained a newlywed spouse training as a soldier who was ready to deploy to protect us all, this again shows us how cruel Kristi Noem’s and Stephen Miller’s immigration policies were and are. The soon-to-be wife was removed from the military base where she and her future husband planned to live. At the very least, Miller and Noem should be punished and sent to Trump’s proposed $152M Alcatraz Island federal prison! Sorry, Kristi accodations there will not be as posh as the 2 private jets you spent nearly $200M in taxpayer money to buy.
