@HankMardu @hailey_salvian She hasn’t actually left yet. The latest news is that she’s still deciding. Totally agree it would be a big loss, but it’s a bit of an unknown right now.

MacKinnon needs to shoot that. Stop trying to pass to Celebrini. #goldmedalgame

Trading Quinn Hughes would be an epically bad move, @Canucks. If you do, it’s a massive organizational failure.

This isn’t a fan base that can stomach another decade of mediocrity, @fr_aquilini. Spend now to build a contender. Seriously, what do you want your legacy to be?

I wish 1 NHL player or team would say something explicitly against violence against women.
The silence is staggering in a league where people continue to have careers after covering up or committing SA, DV, and a large portion of male fans that go after female fans with vitriol.

[Gabe Kirkley @GabeKirkley]

@Canucks Please Canucks media team. I beg you to get it together.

Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

@JesseTinsley @Bench The more I learn about this acquisition, the crazier it is. Stoked to have been one of the engineers who answered the call and stayed up until 6am getting @Bench back up and running. Thanks for everything @JesseTinsley - excited for what the future holds!

Subscribers were long the lifeblood of America’s regional theaters. But since the pandemic, many have decided not to renew. https://t.co/JfkUjaPqSB

Hey @Wealthsimple - it would be awesome to have two UX features in Trade:

1) Group holdings by user-defined categories like Finance, Tech, etc.
2) Actual vs. Target holding %s for individual holdings and those categories

Any chance of that happening? 🙏

[The New York Times @nytimes]

They’re everywhere. Former theater kids. They walk among us.

A Supreme Court justice. The governor of New Jersey. Senator Ted Cruz. A prominent MSNBC host. Practically half the tech world.

What’s behind this moment of thespian power? https://t.co/7fG1VdgsxG

You're right Elon. My tweets are that good.

Despite any issues with Bill Ackman, this is still one of the best intros to business, finance and investing around: https://t.co/3qs2Jv6ttP

I re-watch it every few years as a reminder of what matters for the long term.

Absolutely no one:

@payfray staring at the ceiling one hour into a ferry ride after her phone died:

Do you ever think about how we’re just bones wearing costumes?

This is a line from Succession.

[Linda Yaccarino @lindayaX]

X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.

It always amazes me as someone who studied history how often people are blown away that events happened or people lived at the same time.

Our collective concept of the past is very strange.

[Gabe Kirkley @GabeKirkley]

Simple better. Good. Hard.

Sentences you only hear as a software engineer:

“No, the backbone part was never decaffeinated. Angular was decaffeinated.”

@survivorcbs @JeffProbst I’ve watched every season since the beginning. This week’s episode was the worst you’ve ever made by far.

WAY too many twists. At this point, the game itself voted someone out. That’s just… brutal. And worse, it’s not the values of Survivor.
