I really appreciate when a news article covering a personal tragedy includes a mental health crisis hotline number at the end. The integration of journalism and community resources should be the gold standard for media companies.

@JacobLDavis I don't care, just not the way they money is earned and spent today lol

For 20 years, I have said the Olympics should be in the same place every 4 years. I even said this during my summer internship with the USOC. This would be the most athlete-obsessed approach & put a halt to the irrational idea that host cities need the Olympics to thrive.

[Andy Beatman @andybeatman]

You could create a new town called Olympic City or just alternate between London, LA and Sydney. Does this resonate with anyone else, to reset how we approach the Olympics? The IOC/USOC could be making money all year long, every year, with the creation of such a place.

[Andy Beatman @andybeatman]

You would also witness that single location benefit from hosting non-Olympic competitions throughout the years/seasons including youth sports and world championships. You would be able to constantly innovate the venues and facilities over time.

I’m over the phone for most functions outside of tap payments. This form factor won’t last forever regarding communication. Sick of looking down. I have fully adopted voice texting. This is just a small step though. Waiting on my AI eye glasses by @brilliantlabsAR 🛸

I have been using Bing over Google search for almost two years, even before the integration with ChatGPT. It is better. With chat, it is superior. If you disagree, ask yourself what is great about Google other than the fact you grew up with it!

When did "right?" become the new "umm" in public speaking? I have noticed more and more public speakers do this. I suppose you want to get a nod back from the audience but I am not going to give you that lol

Resell tickets for the NBA preseason game in Seattle featuring the Jazz and Clippers are close to $1K. I don't even think we need this game. The demand is clear. Bring back the Sonics!

Unlike ChatGPT, no one is texting me about Threads, and I don't anticipate it being a hot topic at Thanksgiving this year with my family. Please ignore the growth metrics in the headlines because they are laughable.

You always hear people say, "I would do anything for my kid." Usually this is said when referring to potential danger or negative situations. Now that I am a parent, I often find myself thinking, "I would do anything for anyone's kids". I hope I am not alone in this sentiment!

"Peloton CEO doesn’t care that equipment is losing money, sees path forward in the app." LOL SMH

I wrote a piece for @Microsoft that showcases 10 ways #AI is helping people in their jobs and daily lives. I am most inspired by how AI can help people living with disabilities feel more included in professional settings. https://t.co/cl5yJN8cys

If your business model requires low wages in order for your business to thrive, then your business probably doesn't need to exist anymore.

Everyone on Twitter thinks that everyone is on Twitter. Everyone on Instagram thinks they are cooler than everyone on Facebook. Everyone on TikTok thinks they have avoided the toxic traps of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Everyone off social media has transcended! 🙌

@Microsoft I have unmuted halfway through my laugh. I felt bad when I realized all they got was a single "ha".
