@DarkstarTweets Shhh

Can all makers of hardware and peripherals join hands and agree on USB-C only for the foreseeable future?

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

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

@jspujji As an example, I specifically fly two airlines only because they have top tier lounges and I travel enough that I care about this and will go out of my way to book these airlines.

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

@jspujji It’s like restaurants in hotels. Those restaurants are often cost centers operating at a loss, but having a restaurant makes a hotel more appealing for business travelers, conferences etc. Airport lounges work similarly. Airlines know keeping loyalty necessitates a good lounge.

New favorite Twitter handle. This thread is fascinating. And encouraging.

Genius athletes that got into team ownership after retiring...

9️⃣ Serena & Venus Williams

Own a minority stake in the Miami Dolphins:
2009: $1B valuation
2023: $4.6B valuation

1st African-American minority owners in NFL history.

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

This.

[Andrew Petcash @AndrewPetcash]

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.

[Elizabeth Nolan Brown @ENBrown]

This thread about the tyranny of packed lunches is amazing

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

@vixsheikh @Carnage4Life Yep; agreed and I am here for it. Big and medium tech has talent hoarded for awhile.

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

@KristyT I also feel like everything is coming full circle where the tech “disrupters” of the service industry are no longer offering a superior product (eg Airbnb hosts are ridiculous), and the old guard that used to be lagging has now caught up (eg taxis now safely take credit cards).

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

@KristyT For this reason I’ve now switched from rideshare back to traditional black car service. If I’m going to pay $100+ for a subpar experience, may as well just pay $120 for an excellent experience.

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

Wild.

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.

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

A solid thread.

[Andrew Putnam @AndrewPutnam1]

Drop whatever you are doing and go learn how to play golf!!! Here are my reasons why👇🏼

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

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

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

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

[Kristy Tillman @KristyT]

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.

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

So much respect for what this win signifies.

[Novak Djokovic @DjokerNole]

🏆2️⃣2️⃣🙏🏼❤️

@vixsheikh Unsubscribing to email lists is what I do when I want some quick dopamine hits.

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

In light of the Eagles going to the Super Bowl again, needed to go back and re-watch this hilarious story telling by @KevinHart4real https://t.co/72yuhkEFNM

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

.@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.

[Ambra Benjamin @ambrabenjamin]

Really looking forward to the Hulu and Apple TV series to come from the events of the last few years of tech happenings.
