Back on Twitter after 3 months since my daughter was born did I miss anything?

[Brent Macon @bfmacon]

Obvious miracle: two of our best friends just welcomed their first child!

Less obvious miracle: my 8-month old nephew got pneumonia, was diagnosed and given antibiotics, and will be fine.

I don't want to miss being grateful for 21st-century miracles.

What a weird time to have everyone collectively worrying a recession into existence

BREAKING: U.S. adds whopping 528,000 jobs in July as labor market booms https://t.co/bZ4Dulr0A0

@EricDCampbell If you take the credit you’re setting yourself up to take the blame. Should stay out of it right??

First day of school energy for kids in Atlanta (whoa, already??). Nothing quite like it in the adult world

@tjmule We visited in September and thought the same thing but it is lowkey seriously cold for 9+ months a year

@taggartvanetten The people need an update. Team Macon rooting for Tag! @btmacon

I loved Snow Crash and Ready Player One. What else should I read?

@CMaguire3 Fair - but my experience is that electric solves so many pain points with biking (time and sweat being two biggest)

[Brent Macon @bfmacon]

More people commuting on electric bikes would be meaningful for traffic, public health, and air quality.

Why don’t cities subsidize them?

Daymaker's Back-to-School giving campaign (and entirely new product flow) is finally live today. Thanks for helping us share the #FreedomToExplore with children across the country!

We filed to change the legal name of @DaymakerGiving in March of 2021 and the IRS still hasn't processed it. Today our accountant shared this 🤣

My 16-month-old daughter broke open two from our @FreshHarvestga box that were so good we had to enjoy them immediately 🍑

Have you ever had a Georgia peach so fresh and so ripe that you can twist it into halves with your bare hands and realize, upon tasting it, that God exists and He loves us? Well, I just did.

[Brent Macon @bfmacon]

Because of that - there's productive worry (controlling what we can control) and unproductive worry (all the externalities). Focus on what you can impact today!

TIL there’s a nationwide lifeguard shortage.

Austin, TX only has 462 of the 750 lifeguards needed, so more than half of pools are closed.

New Orleans raised the wage from $12.57 to $18.02.

…maybe we should pay these people more?
