I really hope we can get #CoachPrime’s often used euphemism “Bull Junk” incorporated into common lexicon because it is hilarious.

It's incredible to see hoopers leverage 🏀 into business empires. And it's only going to increase... • NIL in college • higher salaries • more financial knowledge • massive leverage w/ social media

Someone should do this same thread except focus on the tyranny of packing school lunches for your kids, because trust me, no one knows misery until you’re on week 34 of trying to think of anything other than a turkey sandwich that won’t even be eaten.

Crazy day. After 22 years between SVB and FRB, I'm still at shock. My wife also works at SVB right now. The news today was huge, and here is what I've pieced together across 100's of conversations yesterday/today. 🧵

Two leaders and coaches inspiring me right now are @dawnstaley and @DeionSanders. Just completely changing the game in so many ways.

This. Same applies for any purchase activity that involves standing in a physical long line. Immediately no.

I do not have the energy or desire to have to compete to purchase any item. Whether its concert tickets, sneakers, etc. If me simply having the cash isn't good enough it just won't be had.

.@Spotify really needs to figure out a way to allow parents to somehow disassociate their children’s listening with their own, because my #SpotfiyWrapped is JACKED up.

Really looking forward to the Hulu and Apple TV series to come from the events of the last few years of tech happenings.
If your post sharing condolences for colleagues laid off includes a disclaimer that you yourself weren’t impacted, then you’re doing sympathy wrong.

I love this Seahawks team - this is such a great story. Well coached, physical, unafraid, just talented enough. And mentally tough more than anything. I think they’re for real.

So the Twitter layoffs are really real. Horrifying example of why tech workers, like all workers, need a union. nytimes.com/2022/10/29/techn…

Fun when more intimate and you know most attendees and can have a good night out together. Not fun when you work for a FAANG and the venue is so large people have to drop a pin to find each other.

True Seattleites already know! Absolutely incredible night for our city and our @Mariners. I find so much crossover in sports and life and I definitely needed this @TheDaveSimsShow in the booth moment in and for my life. facebook.com/33054718978/pos…
