@Wr1stClutch @TonyKhan @AEW Yeah that's much worse than being a part of a company who was run by sexual predators for 40 years

@TonyKhan @AEW Used to be GOAT’d to be back in the day, then he got political

He’s co-hosting The Buy In at AEW Double or Nothing tonight, and now it’s official: the legendary Mick Foley is ALL ELITE!! #AEWDoN right NOW!!

@ShaneRedflag @RobynUrback Good one bro I guess the stupid among us like that Smith represents them

@ShaneRedflag @RobynUrback MHCare and her close ties to Sam Mraiche, the Turkish Tylenol debacle, the recent data breach that's she been curiously silent on, the paid trip to Saudi ,the $250k new red carpet for her office, buddying up to Trump last year, the sovereignty act

@Laymandaman @RobynUrback Provide some links... Don't just spew...

Danielle Smith is not a separatist. She’s an opportunist who got in over her head theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

@BRHarvie @RobynUrback Not to mention she's bent over backwards trying to push this referendum question through

@BRHarvie @RobynUrback Oh word? x.com/bryan_avison/s…

@albertaborn32 @RobynUrback I wouldn't label her as any of those things. She's continually mishandled anything healthcare related & her gov't has passed bills that are likely unenforceable/unconstitutional. She's a radio show host/backbench MLA that pandered to the far right and got lucky with UCP turmoil

@RobynUrback She's smart, capable, competent, and very informed. Just listen to her call-in show. Canada would be well served by listening to what she says. She's hands down the best Premier in the country and it's not close.

@Raine446655 @PeterKane386957 @RobynUrback Nahhh

@PeterKane386957 @RobynUrback Best in Canada

@ShaneRedflag @RobynUrback Yup grifting, covering scandals up and handouts to buddies are things a "true friend of democracy" does

@RobynUrback Lol, she's a true friend of democracy... It's BS like this that's making the leave side grow... Have the vote, put it to bed... Move on. The longer crap like this, and all the Blue sky idiots invading social media keep beaking, the closer that vote will get... Just sayin!

@elonmusk Well if you had got yourself out of a k-hole long enough to notice, you might've filed your lawsuit on time. Seems like a you problem

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality. There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it! I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America. OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.

@CoinspiracyCo @VesperAegis @mattvanswol @elonmusk Yeah the statute of limitations isn't an "arbitrary bullshit technicality" idiot. Maybe Elon should've got his shit together instead of diving into k-holes and making terrible vehicles?

What is petty is how you pathetically lean on SOL and call it justice because you don't like Elon. You and they both know they are guilty, which is why they had no defense except an arbitrary bullshit technicality. A technicality designed to facilitate crime, not justice. The courts are fucked and so are a great many of the people's minds. You're exhibit A. If the situation was reversed and Elon or Trump was the defendant, you would have a completely opposite take, and everyone who sees this knows it.

@rmlunn @JayneZirkle Disagreeing with Israel's criminality doesn't mean he's antisemitic.

@JayneZirkle Why would this surprise anyone. He is an antisemite at his core. He has always been antisemite. That is a core value of his evil and Satanic ideology, Islam.

Zohran Mamdani just became the first NYC mayor in 61 years to skip the Israel Day Parade. Every mayor since 1964 showed up. Mamdani won’t stand with Jewish New Yorkers.

@andrew_leach @Alberta8765432 @DwightNewmanLaw @nationalpost No simply saying I'm not going to subscribe to a propaganda rag like the national post

@Laymandaman @Alberta8765432 @DwightNewmanLaw @nationalpost Are you asking people to make the columns published in it available to you for free?

My initial thoughts on the duty to consult issue in yesterday’s court decision to quash the Alberta secession petition are out in the @nationalpost this morning nationalpost.com/opinion/dwight…

@andrew_leach @Alberta8765432 @DwightNewmanLaw @nationalpost Be a frosty day in hell when I willingly give money to the national post

@Alberta8765432 @DwightNewmanLaw @nationalpost Or, perhaps, you could subscribe.

@RareCoinsFTW @RightyDriesell @ShamsCharania @grok Yeah some dipshit on Facebook or YouTube is a much better source. Dipshit

@RightyDriesell @ShamsCharania @grok Who believe anything in the mainstream news ?

13-year NBA veteran Jason Collins has died at 47 years old after a battle with Stage 4 glioblastoma. Collins was the first active, openly gay player in NBA history. RIP.

@DeanHorninaq @BakingPeter @furmsies But there aren't many "undecideds" out there, the Janet Brown poll has 6% undecided, likely not enough to swing a referendum.

@BakingPeter @furmsies Everyone is well aware what the polls say. 30 percent. Why are so many people freaking out. Perhaps they know the undecided are unpredictable.

Jason Kenney said it best. Alberta separatists are nothing more than a fringe reminent of covid radicalized grifters who no longer have Trudeau to use in their campaigns, so they had to find another scam. Degenerate losers, all of them.

@FC_kyle @onesoccer Yeah I agree. I don't think there's any way you don't bring Davies if there's even a possibility he could play later in the group stage or in the knockout if they make it that far.

@Laymandaman @onesoccer I think we do bring him in, though. Chance of knockouts greatly diminished without him. Just some food for thought.

For the fourth time this season, CanMNT 🇨🇦 captain Alphonso Davies will be sidelined for Bayern Munich with an injury 💔 Can he recover in time for the World Cup?

@FC_kyle @onesoccer They already know how to set up without him since he hasn't played a game with the national team in over a year. Laryea at LB, Ahmed (if healthy)/Flores up front

@onesoccer We need to think about how to set up without Phonsie. Hate the thought but this is our reality now. We have a chance to win a couple matches and advance to the knockouts. Planning accordingly is key. #CanMNT

@3rddownguy2 @falldwnplaydead @BenBurgis @NathanJRobinson You're so fucking edgy bro

@falldwnplaydead @BenBurgis @NathanJRobinson Suck obamas balls you fagget hope you lost your house after he bailed out the big banks

Most journalists ask a question, get fed a bunch of bullshit, and then ask a different question. Some ask a follow-up, get fed more bullshit, and then give up. Mehdi is the only one who just keeps asking it over and over until he either gets an answer or someone makes him stop.

@NapierHolland @LandoBerando @brian_armstrong What would be the comparison between say 5 years ago and the last 6-12 months in said newspapers and websites (awfully broad catagory no?) Would you say there were lots of em dashes on social media 5 years ago? Did you use a lot of em dashes in university?

@Laymandaman @LandoBerando @brian_armstrong In newspapers and websites? Loads.

This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian

@NapierHolland @LandoBerando @brian_armstrong Cool and how many em dashes did you see in everyday language before LLMs? Besides you of course, since you were apparently using them before it was cool 🙄

@LandoBerando @brian_armstrong I’m a professional copywriter and former journalist. Em dashes are common across marketing and newspaper journalism. They’ve existed since the 15th century. Anyone who thinks em dashes are new has a poor knowledge of grammar.
