  1. I agree that PHX will probably blow them out and finish it off, but one can dream. And I'm loving the outpouring of hate for PHX and Paul that comes out when they lose, my only regret is it is short-lived, I fear.
  2. Bret Taylor needs to be focused on his own Q1 versus Elon's takeover of Twitter, CRM stock has tanked recently too. Oops, wrong thread.
  3. What do we know? Though I never thought it was realistically a pump-and-dump as some did; way too much visibility and too big a scheme. From NYT: What seemed highly improbable a week and a half ago is now looking a lot more real: Twitter is in advanced talks to sell itself to Elon Musk. The company’s 11-member board was negotiating with Musk into the early hours of the morning over his offer to buy the social networking service and take it private, DealBook’s Lauren Hirsch and The Times’s Mike Isaac report. The two sides have been discussing details, including a timeline to close any potential deal and any fees that would be paid if an agreement were signed and then fell apart, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. The negotiations followed a board meeting yesterday morning to discuss the offer. No deal is certain, and it remains entirely possible that the talks will break down. It is rare for a board to try to hammer through a deal as quickly as this.
  4. To broadly make the blanket statement that someone on the spectrum can’t run a social media organization in the first place is pretty brazenly ableist.
  5. I came here to question this, glad you commented. I was reading a bunch of “album of the year” reviews and find it to be just meh. Just like I thought Daytona was meh. Maybe I just find Pusha-T’s whole Schlick to be one note and boring these days, but even the Neptune/Kanye production was much ballyhooed and left me thinking it was good, not great, overhyped. My personal opinion is I think Push can’t just carry an album because he’s not interesting enough, but he’s an amazing guest feature artist. To that point my favorite track was with his brother.
  6. If it’s any consolation I want the Suns to finish NOLA off quickly with the 4-1 gentleman’s sweep now (in order to get to a better opponent and ensuring Booker won’t be available).
  7. Oh i guess I see where and at what angle you are coming from. Sorry. I want Booker’s injury to last throughout the playoffs so his team is weaker and easier to beat now that the injury happened. Not sorry. Just like the Jazz fans are praying every night to Joseph Smith’s underwear Luka’s calf won’t heal.
  8. We don’t know the extent or how long an injury like this will really have an impact is what I’m saying— if you aren’t a Suns fan, or a Booker fan (or both, like me) you want that impact to be throughout the playoffs.
  9. Really? If (and big if because it’s a complete unknown) Luka is healthy you think Suns in 7? That’s interesting. I could see it potentially, but the one thing for sure is that if Booker is healthy the Suns play GSW in WCF.
  10. The ugliest last 3 minute that NOLA could ask for. That’s why they were #10, I guess. Hopefully booker can stay lingering and hobbled because suns look very vulnerable against a real team! Let’s go!
  11. um what? That was my backyard then!
  12. Agreed. Happy to say I was wrong on Kidd.
  13. It's the medium of the poor and downtrodden as well. It really is an eclectic and transgressive channel in that there is a place for all. It's like reddit in that way. There is zero doubt twitter out punches it weight class for what it is as a business and business model versus the outsized impact and influence it has on real time culture. Everybody knows the business sucks. Everyone knows Twitter is an entrenchment for real time news, updates, gossip, humor, connections, general zeitgeist, etc. This is why Elon wants it-- he said as much, he can unlock the potential. Most people are of the mindset, based on Elon's track record, that if anyone can do it in short order he has a great shot as any. Especially compared to any PE firm. Well, except Brisket, because he knows better than the rest of the business world. He has been a minor lawyer for a dozen years or so and he knows a savvy business operator when he sees one.
  14. from NYT "Some of the reasons for a shutdown have to do with the reality of mergers. The fact that CNN’s management pushed forward with the launch of CNN+ instead of waiting for the OK from its new corporate leaders appears to have ruffled feathers. Last week, on the first business day of Discovery’s ownership of WarnerMedia, marketing of CNN+ was suspended. (Zaslav has promised $3 billion in cost savings from the merger.) In a meeting with CNN+ staff yesterday, Chris Licht, CNN’s incoming president, compared the service to a residential property that had been constructed without the input of its intended owner. “Then the new owner came in and said: ‘What a beautiful house! But I need an apartment,’” he said, according to a recording reviewed by The New York Times."
  15. The first half of episode 4 was boring to me, to be honest, but the last half got weird and interesting I guess, but definitely confusing.
  16. The last episode lost me after Harlow shot Steven. Psych ward is heaven or hell?
  17. Agree that was a really bad take. But then again, if lawyers knew anything about business, they wouldn't practice law for the scraps they do for a living.
  18. Booker's 2-3 week hammy is looking more and more like the break Dallas needed if they wanted to make this a magical run and season.
  19. Getting nervous now. Home juju with the refs home cooking and we've gone cold from the arc.
  20. This is fun so far!
  21. I was going off what I read about Kanye. I assume Tyson will want this obvious criminal act of physical assault, considering he has a rap sheet at least a 5k long, to go away and not go to court. Adjusting for inflation I'd guess that is a 7 figure price tag.
  22. Probably. Just looked it up, he's only 55. I thought he was nearer to 70. He probably can still hurt you but this numb nuts is lucky Mike was confined in space and had to use short, compact punches across a seat.
  23. I do the same, just a small honey pot for whatever. If they need to supplement college or if they don't and want to use it for a downpayment on a home one day or just whatever.
  24. I was thinking more of gaming, which I think they are looking at. Maybe AR/VR to bring multi-media to life in the home or something. I don't know, but at some point the churn will kill them if they don't figure it out, I think.
  25. Just curious, because we all watched the same video of Mike Tyson near the back of a plane on a commercial flight pummeling a guy over his seat... Which demons are you referring to that seem to be in control and how did you infer that from the video or are you just saying things outloud?
