Lots of tweets about sports, strongman, marketing, and mortgages. And my dog Maddux because she’s amazing.

Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. That suck might be 100 workouts, 100 bland meals, 100 hours of work, or 100 hard conversations. Embrace it as the cost of entry. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.

The @Sling day pass for the NCAA tourney games (just not CBS) is so great. $5 for a 1 day pass, $10 for a 3 day pass? Yes please.

Love this from #Illini head coach Brad Underwood - asked if he has any issue/finds it unfair to have to play Houston IN Houston in the Sweet 16.
"I could care less... I'm an old JUCO ball coach. I drove on 16 passenger fans. I drove from Dodge City, Kansas to Mesa, Arizona for a basketball game... If you had told me back then that I'm getting to coach basketball in the Sweet 16 and play Houston - I would sign up for it, I would crawl to get there."
Says regardless of where the game is, Illinois would/will need to play well to beat the Cougars.

@alexhammeke It’s incredibly eye opening auditing yourself occasionally. Our going out to eat spending was insane recently and we didn’t realize it til we did a mini audit.

Was on the brink of having CC debt for first time in my life a couple months ago
I looked at my credit card statement and thought “why am I spending this much on dumb shit I can easily live without”
Problem solved
Real question is how many Americans are willing to have that gut check on their spending
English
Is this a problem? Absolutely.
But it’s not the whole story. Americans spend so so much money on stuff that isn’t necessary. Pay in 4 creates a ballooning problem of high monthly payments that stack on top of each other.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.
It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane
It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.
Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?
Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.
Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

@davidubben At a Kstate Nebraska football game years ago I interviewed a woman who had her prosthetic leg decorated in Husker colors.

I once got ~330 emails from Nebraska fans in one hour who disagreed with something I wrote

@bigdonkey47 My 18 year old nephew took a bounced slider to the jugular behind the plate. Couple days later he was in left field and hit a HR to center into the wind. Catchers are a different breed.

Catchers are built different. I’d need 1-3 business days to get up after trying any of these maneuvers and he’s just ready for the next pitch

Small businesses are the ones who will suffer greatly unless there is significant change in how they’re required to operate. Ask a small biz owner what it costs for them to employ people. You’ll be gob smacked.

One of those things that sounds good on paper, but the warning signs of continuing to lose any sort of privacy online are there.
Chuck Schumer@SenSchumer
BREAKING: The Senate has unanimously passed COPPA 2.0 – the Children and Teen’s Online Privacy and Protection Act. This bill EXPANDS the current law protecting our kids online to ensure companies cannot collect personal information from anyone under the age of 17. This is really important to protect kids online. When I was Majority Leader, we passed this bill with bipartisan support as part of a package that passed 91-3. Sadly, House Republicans blocked it. This is a very good day for Kids and their parents, as well, who can breathe a sigh of relief that some real protections for kids online is finally passing the Senate once again. I’m glad the Senate has passed COPPA 2.0 again, and this time the House needs to finish the job and pass this bill swiftly and decisively.

Ready for YET ANOTHER proposed state law which would force all Operating Systems (from Windows to Linux) to include age verification?
I present to you: New York Senate Bill S8102A
This New York law would “require all manufacturers of Internet-enabled devices, operating systems, or application stores to conduct commercially reason-able and technically feasible age assurance for users at the point of device activation.”
You read that right. This would mandate “commercially viable age verification” on:
- Every Operating System
- Every “App Store”
- And every “Internet Enabled Device” (meaning: anything connected to the Internet)
The penalty for not complying with this law would be $10,000 per violation.
This bill is currently in committee and is being sponsored by a Democrat, @sen_gounardes.

@JoseBoomer9193 @CapitalOne This is how I got Taylor swift tickets for the eras tour so I was super excited for World Cup tix! Alas. So were a ton of other people apparently
English
I clicked on the button right when clock struck 12 EST, waited 10 min with a spinning wheel, didn’t even get to enter my card number to gain access and find out it’s already sold out. @CapitalOne how many tix were even available?!?
English
Overheard in the airport:
Passenger 1: our gate is all the way on the other end. Let’s get food here
Passenger 2: we are gonna be late
Passenger 1: we have 20 min
Passenger 2: yeah 20 min til departure.
Passenger 1: yeah we have time. (Proceeds to walk to food court) 😳
