speaking the irreverent truth

@ohreallytruly That hopefully paints him into a corner of unintentionally admitted guilt or proven guilt - but guilty either way. Keep banging your drum.

@stuef You should look into counter-suing Barbara Andersen for her frivolous lawsuit for at the very minimum ALL costs you incurred no matter how trivial, then I would consider "damage to your reputation" for compensatory damages.

@QuarterHalfLock @Bose now offers a similar setup, for considerably less cost, even with the 30% discount. https://t.co/e52eeohpf1

Here's an alternate idea for your #sonos trade-in dilemma: I can spend $1397.90 for a forced upgrade with @sonos, or just $950 for what is in essence the same set up from @Bose. There isn't only one player in this game anymore.

[William Espey @WllmSPeaks]

Thanks @sonos! I've been a customer and #sonos brand evangelist since 2010. Now I'm being extorted to pay $1397.90 for 3 Ports + an Amp, so my Playbar and Sub don't also become obsolete. And what about the environmental impact of functional equipment being made non-functional?

@VancityReynolds Brilliant ad. You stole Peleton's lemons and made lemonade—or more like a lemon peel perched on the edge of a glass full of gin. This deserves a Cannes Grand Prix for creativity and timeliness. I'm in absolute awe.

Lockout today at #lakewoodhighschool .... Two geniuses thought it’d be cool to sneak a gun into the building and thankfully posted a picture of themselves posing in the #lhs parking lot on Snapchat. Do we blame this… https://t.co/lBV9GJUW3r

@TIM4UAlessio Vivo negli Stati Uniti e la mia SIM è in scadenza l'anno prossimo. C'è un modo per non scadere o estendere la sua validità?

Interesting take on the cult(ure) of over-working and the fundamental insecurities tied to boasting about it. As soon as a job tips over to being more than 50% of one's waking hours, we should stop referring to it as "work" and ca…https://t.co/w9BKWTaCy9 https://t.co/vfWq9WpWQN

@LukeArmour Thanks @LukeArmor, I appreciate it. Woo-town is super quaint, and the people are great. I really enjoyed my time. Take care...

Today is my 19th anniversary at Chipotle, and my last.
In two weeks, this long strange trip ends for me.

I’ve experienced a lot over the years—which means I now have so much to share to help develop other brands. Reach out if you want to connect regard…https://t.co/kWrYq2FELh

Honored that @melissaagnes reached out to discuss #crisismanagement. Pro Tip: it's better to not learn this stuff first-hand, but through others' experience—take steps now to prepare your organization for the possibilities. An ounc…https://t.co/TOu7GI08xx https://t.co/MYPpBwco3L

Very clever experiment to test ad strategies without the brands who actually pay for advertising having to bear the burden of risk with their own dollars. I've always advocated for pushing the envelope with the creative, but when t…https://t.co/zWbG4OMEL0 https://t.co/nZdEaPHXTW

Here's a great primer on this whole #blockchain thing. It's actually a huge help to get your head around how it works. Now the next time someone brings it up in a meeting, or socially in a tremendously boring conversation, when I nod in agreement I'll act…https://t.co/m7mT2eUPHA
