Yes to this. Or oui, as the case were. Baseball lost part of its soul when it lost Montréal. @Montreal_Expos – at Pittsburgh, PA
I wish all cities vying for @MLB expansion well.
Capital? 100 days.
Strategic Partners? 200 days (rounding up).
Land? 300 days.
Good luck taking on the @Montreal_Expos bid, aka:
- the most expansive expansion bid ever via TEAMS & 4C, part of the largest civic infra project since Expo freaking '67,
- a potential first case study for a new model of sports-franchise financing, ownership & liquidity—bringing together anchor investors, strategic partners, institutional capital and broader investor participation (subject to @MLB approval, natch);
- arguably the greatest comeback underdog story in sports history.
Bring it. I've got @Montreal (and apparently, all of America) on our side. LFG!

@ashkan very good interview with @BPMSportsRadio this morning. Hopefully it’s moving along with the city. And we are close for a land to built the stadium - if expansion is possible.

“It’s not your regular North American city. It’s vibrant. The fact that it’s French-Canadian adds a completely different fabric of just about any city that any baseball person has ever been to…“
- Former MLB GM @DanEvans108 makes the case that Montreal is the best spot for expansion. Must watch!
A sneak peek at my interview with @DanEvans108 - I put him on the hot seat and asked him to handicap the cities vying for @MLB expansion.
Full interview coming next week on @watchmojo's The Lineup channel.
Thoughts on his analysis & breakdown?

I am all in, @Montreal! Let's go, @Montreal_Expos! I believe in @ashkan & his ability to get it to home plate. 🇨🇦🍁⚾️

🚨Marc Cucurella on Lionel Messi:
🎙️Reporter: “Marc, are Spain afraid of facing Lionel Messi?”
🗣️Marc Cucurella: “Lionel Messi? No. We’re not scared of Messi—we’re scared of the referee.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Marc Cucurella did not say this. He stated Spain were "not scared" of facing Argentina and Messi. tntsports.co.uk/football/marc-…

4. Bet on the curiosity premium.
Aravind: "I have been toying with this idea called the curiosity premium. The most successful people have always been the most curious."
Curious people ask better questions. Better questions compound into money, relationships, life.

I'm all for diversity. It enriches the parent culture and does wonders for creativity
But multiculturalism involves many cultures, not just one. So a culture that threatens domination over all the others is not one that advances multiculturalism
Multiculturalism demand respect for all cultures
It does not just demand respect for itself

Today, May 12, we celebrate the birthday of Maryam Mirzakhani (1977–2017) - the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal.
Her groundbreaking work on Riemann surfaces and moduli spaces continues to inspire mathematicians worldwide.
May 12 is now International Women in Mathematics Day.
