@gal220reagan @wsuares At the risk of wading into a Twitter convo...Wendy asked me who would be holding the firm accountable. That is what she meant above (that she asked me who would), not that I would be the one providing any oversight.

@wsuares He will be overseeing a company [to hold them accountable 😉] where he use to be a partner … and it “won” a $10 million contract to “advise”. Similar to a former FDA head now sitting on the Board of Pfizer. Zero conflicts of interest. Zero.
Other people’s money 💁♀️

UPDATE🧵- I got the (mostly) unredacted contract after pressing OSDH. But the agency says their redacting full pages was legal "to protect sensitive vendor details and personal contact information, which are considered proprietary and confidential under applicable law." @okcfox

While pledging transparency, the state redacted much of a contract involving up to $10 million dollars through 2026. My latest investigation tracking your money, Tuesday at 9pm.

@jonathanmaze There was a lot I loved about my time at Sonic, but nothing was better than the menu tastings. The senior team, including our CEO Cliff Hudson, tried every product before it was approved to go into the drive-ins. I have to assume most restaurant companies do something similar.

Indeed how terrible that top executives at two major chains would eat their own burgers on video. Just awful.

🚨 THIS ISN’T NORMAL. FIRST MCDONALD’S. NOW BURGER KING. WHY ARE FAST FOOD CEOS SUDDENLY STAGING FIRST BITES? Two billion-dollar corporations. Two CEOs. Same scripted chew pretending to like the product. Since when does the boss need to personally validate the burger? That’s not marketing. That’s damage control. What the hell is going on?

Had a great meeting today with EGA CEO Abdulnasser Bin Kalban and Century Aluminum CEO Jesse Gary.
Together, they are working to build the first new premium aluminum facility in the US in nearly 50 years right here in Oklahoma.
This will be a game changer for our state!

@jonathanmaze @JoeGuszkowski I am sure they will fix the algorithm; would love to not have to pick up randomly arranged cups at the counter, spin 'em around and read the labels to find mine. Easily a bigger dissatisfier to me than speed of service. Chipotle has this figured out, so maybe...

Excellent column on Starbucks mobile ordering by @JoeGuszkowski.
Starbucks big problem is that its mobile ordering function is behind the times. Which is stunning when you think that a bunch of smart people spent three years trying to fix that issue.

The @Dodgers are taking the Naked Gun Announcer Booth approach to roster construction.
RIP to crafty lefty Dr. Joyce Brothers.

I have never been so happy about a meaningless victory that does harm to my team’s draft position. Go Bears!

@nondocmedia What a legacy this good and thoughtful man leaves. Among his many pursuits, Gene was an exceptional board member at Sonic. I am grateful my path intersected with his.
Thank you for re-posting this great piece about how Gene was vital and stayed engaged into his 90s.
