There's been a big spike in sports pod listenership during the NBA Finals, a rep for Spotify tells @FOS. In addition to the data below, Empire State of Mind Jay-Z/Alicia Keys saw a 1,245% spike of listens right after Game 4.
Fans often dream of a superstar taking less money to build a championship contender, but it never happens. Players always go for the paycheck.
Dreams just came true in New York. Jalen Brunson is the real thing.
Good move. Rally the fan base and remind America of the '03 team that made many fall in love with the Orange.๐

Tirico on a real run. Olympics and Super Bowl performances off-the-charts. He's become the "broadcaster of record" for major American sports moments. @NewhouseSU

After hearing @gisellemarie present at @USMayors, and following @DKThomp's work over the years, the mission resonated: practical, results-oriented governance that removes barriers and delivers real outcomes.
An interesting trend we're noticing at Stripe: US startups are pulling ahead of their peers elsewhere.
These charts show averaged revenue growth for software startups in each location. US startups typically grow somewhat faster than those elsewhere. However, since mid-2023, US companies have accelerated a lot. Interestingly, this is not just because of AI startups: if we strip those out, there's still a big divergence. Our leading hypothesis is that US startups (even those that aren't AI companies as such) are adopting new technologies (AI, stablecoins, etc.) faster than companies elsewhere. (This pattern of faster adoption among US companies was also seen with the internet itself.)
Whatever the cause, the pattern is striking.
[Methodological note: this pattern appears to hold beyond Europe as well.]
The suspension of @jimmykimmel and the promise to silence other Late Night hosts for criticizing the administration should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center. ย Itโs wrong and anyone with a conscience knows itโs wrong.
Eleven years (11!) years ago today the Binghamton Mets (@RumblePoniesBB) won the Eastern League Championship on Jayce Boyd's walk-off double in front 5,900+ at NYSEG Stadium.
What an incredible night that was.
