@zachlanebryan Would you ever consider coming back to KC if I can guarantee rain?

[Noah Kahan @NoahKahan]

This album is for anyone who waits for folks to exit the elevator before trying to barge in. If you barge in this album is not for you and only my song hurt somebody is yours to listen to

@zachlanebryan That’s a world we can’t contact anymore, brother

@tacobell is still radio silent about the worst menu move in recent years.

Disappointed, but not surprised🤷🏼‍♂️

[T.W. @TWS_141]

Live look at me in the @tacobell corporate offices since they took the Quesarito and Chicken Enchilada Burrito away from us.

[T.W. @TWS_141]

@tacobell please bring the cheesy melt grilled steak burrito back to the menu for good. I beg.

If you’ve got the green spaghetti at your function, I want the invite.

Nashville ain’t got no fiddle?

What the hell happened to us?

“Negative experiences without teaching kill morale.”

Read that again.
This is what being a “transformational” coach is all about.

Are you about winning or are you about teaching?

Are you about transactions or relationships?

All I’m asking for is a one day contract with any team in the @NFL so I can enter the rookie talent show.

Seeing these clips of Trump and RFK “solve” autism is similar to watching middle school students present a group project they actually didn’t do.

Nothing has spoken to me more lately. 😂 For real, though. You need to read this today:

Take care of yourself. Remember that the algorithms are designed to send you—and whoever angers you—into echo chambers. We’re all eating up slices of a fringed, flared and even fake reality.

How it works:

The algorithms figure out what you like or are interested in, all by just the fact that you digested the content for a little longer than normal. It’s called dwell time, and it’s one of the most important factor for any platform.

We dwell on something, and the apps now going to try and serve up something similar to see if that works. Oh, you like that too? Here are 5 more posts like that one. And it keeps going and going, funneling you down until you get to a fringe that’s hard to come back from.

Sometimes it just turns you into a vegan.

Sometimes it turns you into a hunter.

Sometimes it turns you into a civil rights advocate.

And sometimes it turns you into a bigot, or worse.

It sounds exaggerated but if you slow down for a few seconds, you'll see it. Just read the news (the real news). I absolutely believe it’s partially why we see so much polarized BS out there right now (that and the loss of neutral reporting—we constantly consume biased news now).

Social platforms are a path to radicalization.

It is republican. It is democrat.

It is conservative. It is liberal.

It is whatever vs. whatever.

Good.

Evil.

Just remember to breathe. To enjoy your reality.

And remember social media is NOT REAL LIFE.

I spent 8 years running a social app that battled the ethics of building something “sticky” vs doing what’s right.

We captured a ton of data and had our own algorithm, but we always did our best to choose the path that was in the best interest of the person, not just what made us the most money or captured the most data.

Our company failed. Maybe we didn’t have what it takes.

But I’m pretty sure I don’t want anything to do with doing what it takes in a world where the collateral damage is our sanity and morals.

Take care of yourself.

And if your world seems like there’s only two types of people left because of social media.

Avoid them both.

@bradluttrell @BourbonNBeyond Just noticed my mistake this morning🤦🏼‍♂️ *Cape Elizabeth EP

[T.W. @TWS_141]

@bradluttrell @BourbonNBeyond Was lucky enough to catch him at a small venue (The Truman with Jack Van Cleaf Opening) in KC and later at Azura Amphitheater.

Both times were amazing. Big fan of his Maine EP.

[T.W. @TWS_141]

@bradluttrell Could you provide some more info on the songwriters festival? I didn’t know I was missing something
