When Jeff Bezos got divorced, his fortune fell from $159 billion to $121 billion. Two years later, he's now worth $202B.

If Bill Gates loses the same %, his fortune would fall to $98B. When the pandemic began, he had $98B.

To give you a sense of how fast rich people make money.

Of all complex scenarios the founding teams planned for, the possibility of their own fans turning against them clearly never crossed their minds. They thought only challenge would come from supporters of other clubs they left behind. A historic misread

This is like global football's version of a Coppola Godfather climax scene where the music propels fast cut scenes as hit after hit goes down and the plot twists jawdroppingly 🤯

How many thousands of "Super League" T-Shirts and Merch are currently on a plane to a country that needs them

Yes! A sustainable revenue model is key. Philanthropy and billionaires are not long-term answers.

[Nick Nyhan @nicknyhan]

Great to see interest and new funding come to local news sources like @baltimoresun, they see the opportunities. But billionaires, hedge funds, and grants only buy time. The bedrock need is for biz models where reader revenue keeps the independent local news going.

“Yeah! Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowing, blowing my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?”

I miss you Seattle and cannot wait to be back in your magical city soon

Over the past year, the total wealth of US billionaires increased by $1.1T. Yes, trillion. We can have a $15 minimum wage.

I believe that investing big in early care and education is the single most important long-term investment we can make as a country, for our security, prosperity, and equality.

Aaron Hunt deserved a lot of respect for this bit of sportsmanship 👏

Hell yes

Agree! They'll never agree to a relegation format, even though it could be great.

[Toby Ball @TobyBallNH]

@mrjamieyates The salary cap in American sports has really evened things up between big and small market teams. So, in theory, any team can win a championship. That being said, there is no reward for more modest goals (avoiding relegation, Europa League, etc)

If I get one more “tip” or “trick” designed to help women “live their best lives” I’m going to seriously lose it. It’s not women who need to change or just breathe deeply at stoplights. It’s the SYSTEMS THAT NEED TO CHANGE

White House Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice previews President Biden’s racial equity executive actions to end private prisons, promote fair housing, combat xenophobia and strengthen relationships with Indigenous communities.

[Azadeh Shahshahani @ashahshahani]

Wow! Biden to order Justice Department to end use of private prisons!
