Twitter is for fun. I don't take this too seriously. You shouldn't either

@SMB_Attorney @smblawgroup We really need to bring back smacking people - a lot of things would be improved if people got a good smack

@ravensbias19 The strategy is a huge part of why this works. Dalke fucked his team with Santino and Manziel so early. Half the field is gone after day 1 so there are huge personalities who will feel like they wasted their time. The luck aspect is huge

@AliceFromQueens @PhilFalcone3 I will bet you any fact you think I’m loose on as you are equally loose on language. Come take my money

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

@PhilFalcone3 @AliceFromQueens You don’t have to tell me you’re muting me - no one cares about someone who doesn’t know things

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

@paulswaney3 @bot We're long past approaching

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

@PhilFalcone3 @AliceFromQueens Shockingly... no protests anywhere

@SMB_Attorney Welcome to war politics

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

Dude acts like he has an indepth understanding of some random Egyptians AES has never met's financials. The trap is to get you to talk about which you're doing. All Tim Scott has to do is find one payment to one group who funded them and he's right

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

This is an objectively false and slanderous claim made with reckless disregard for the truth. Demand Scott goes on Hannity again before Election Day to apologize, or else sue him for defamation.

@PhilFalcone3 @AliceFromQueens The UAE has faced nearly 0 condemnation over their support of the RSF. Even Saudi doesn't really face any repercussions for what they've done in Yemen

@SMB_Attorney Wrappers are DOA. Harvey has been dead for a which is why they're going to compete with frontier. Cost will come down across the board.

I've already sent the picks

[SleeperBrowns @SleeperBrowns]

Mock trade via @BrandonLittleBL:

Browns receive: Khalil Mack, ‘28 4th  
Chargers receive: ‘27 & ‘28 5ths

If you’re Andrew Berry, do you pull the trigger?

@Djortiz6 This is The Duke's last year - though having quite bad players is what makes the strategy of this event so fascinating

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

@_CLEology I would've been happy with EMW or Boston at 24 - to get them in the 2nd is outrageous

Faustian lesser demon is a terrific turn of phrase

[wassieloyer @wassielawyer]

Law firm restructurings are immensely difficult because their core assets have legs and can fuck off next door.

The only assets that can’t leave by serving notice are brand equity (the names of a few guys likely long dead), dogshit investments into shitty AI tech, computers and furniture and a lot of Nescafé machines and pods.

Meanwhile your liabilities are hard to get rid of. Expensive leases in the heart of NYC, cost of aging or retired partners that refuse to die, dumb B2B liabilities incurred by the guy running the relevant committee that’s fucked off to Lathams last year.

Add on the fact that law firm rainmakers (the most valuable “assets”) that you need to retain for a restructuring to work have the same motivations as a Faustian lesser demon trying to pay down a 24% p.a monthly coupon PIK note to Lucifer and you have a truly Sisyphean task ahead of you.

One of the weirdest pricing decisions I've ever seen was the @nytimes putting WordleBot behind a paywall

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

@DalkeKong3 Manziel and Santino went WAY too high. Those are 4th row guys you have in your 2nd row

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

@AliceFromQueens Those describing Israel as a "pariah" are also pushing for the sanctions of a "pariah state". Those sanctions are very unlikely to happen making the word choice in your trade-off misleading.

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

@AliceFromQueens I'm sorry if I read "Israel is now a pariah" to mean "pariah state" (formal noun). Not sure why you would choose that specific word if you didn't mean that when outcast would've served your purpose https://t.co/Re5pNOHfoz

[Alice @AliceFromQueens]

Americans favoring Israeli aggression should maybe just own the trade-off? Netanyahu did what you guys wanted: crushed Hamas, neutered Hezbollah, bombed Iran, expanded borders, ignored humanitarians...

Israel is now a pariah. America's turning against it. That's the trade-off.

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

@Stroke_McClane @Internetinvite I knew Gaethje was an absolute stick coming into this and it was on the Internet golfers to know his cap. That's just bad scouting but he's widely known as a pretty good 5

[John From Toronto @johnsplaining]

@AliceFromQueens You're describing something that hasn't and is very unlikely to happen (Israel being a Pariah state). The US is not cutting Israel off from the banking system, there is no real cut-off from US weaponry and even Europe hasn't done any real trade sanctions.
