WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE 2ND COMMERCIAL BREAK? Per pooler @saraecook of @cbsnews:

"The second the stage hand said they were clear for a 4 minute break, Trump turned towards the exit, gave a big sigh through closed lips, and walked off stage without looking at Harris.

"From the time the moderators announced they were going to break, Harris began writing on her notepad. She wrote continuously for the entire first two minutes of the break, occasionally bringing one hand to her chin or brushing hair behind her ear.

"She then reviewed what she wrote for the next minute, making a few tweaks, before putting the pen down and looking out around the room with her hands folded in front of her. She took a sip of water from a glass placed under the lectern.

"Trump walked back onstage 30 seconds before the end of break. He did not look at Harris, she did not look at him. Harris made small adjustments to her collar. Both candidates looked straight ahead until the program restarted.

"Again, no words were spoken."

What do you all think they do during these commercial breaks?

Look at their notes? Nod at each other? Avoid eye contact? Run to the bathroom?

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

Trump sounds like he actually prepared for this

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

I'm learning how Russia's Autarky Model, an economic development approach rooted in self-sufficiency, insulated them from impact during the Great Depression. And now it makes sense why all the economic sanctions they got hit with when they invaded Ukraine didn't impact them.

@MBNboyfriend I couldn't even finish the video 😂 Too hard to watch

People really disrespect banana bread by putting chocolate chips in it - chocolate makes most things better, but absolutely not this

@joelgascoigne @roycehaynes @joelgascoigne This is super interesting, thanks for sharing! I'm super curious - knowing what you know now, would you have still raised from VCs and bought back shares? Or would you have skipped VC all together?

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

People will pay for things they value

startup sales journey — do NOT skip steps.

hint: especially step 2

Step 1: Founder-led sales (~ $1MM)
Step 2: Founder-managed sales ($1 -$3MM)
Step 3: VP of Sales (~ $3MM+)
Step 4: CRO (~ $10-20MM +)

if you are hitting targets at unbelievable speed, than I think very fair to bring forward key hires a bit (assuming churn is controlled)

What in the hell is a one day player loan. Gotham looks so silly for that

@SouthernSylvs The way I wanted to see Shaw this whole tournament 😭

@ScoutRipley A 1pm local time game is bonkers

Oooohhh my lord, Spain is so lucky that wasn't another goal

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

@MBNboyfriend Yeah, but clubs aren't very forgiving these days. Let's see if Spain medals, but I can see the federation not having patience for a decline in performance especially after just winning the world cup

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

@MBNboyfriend The dude did not miss! I could see LeBron saying they need that kinda shooter in LA

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

Calling it right now, the Lakers will pick up Serbias #7

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

@MBNboyfriend Idk if she is going to last very long

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

What does Spain have against putting in their best players sooner?

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

I'm honestly surprised we don't see more accelerators where the focus is sales and/or marketing, and not fundraising. I guess that wouldn't fit the business model, now that I think of it

[Aliesha Baldé @ayeebalde]

The 'clank' from the missed shots that hit the rim are hilariously loud 😂
