@sassyottto @MorgenHatton @ryancohen @eBay @larryvc To clarify....I don't know what Gamestop could offer ebay and seems dumb for ebay. The investors in GS feel like their guy is a prophet, but I have heard good things about ebay current leadership. Just u informed. What has changed at ebay for the better?

@sassyottto @MorgenHatton @ryancohen @eBay @larryvc Genuinely curious why you say this. I've used ebay to buy for 20+ yrs and would love it to prosper (*I have 0 stock in either). I don't even know how you'd innovate on top of a buy/sell platform other than lowering fees and some tech features

🚨 @RyanCohen is exposing something much bigger than @eBay. 🚨
He’s exposing the machine.
@eBay has one of the most powerful marketplaces on earth. Millions of buyers. Millions of sellers. Collectibles. Authentication. Global trust. Live commerce potential. Seller data. Payment flow. Culture.
And somehow management made it feel tired.
@RyanCohen walks in and says what Wall Street doesn’t want said out loud:
The business isn’t dead.
The leadership is lazy.
That’s why they hate him.
Because he’s not just trying to buy @eBay.
He’s showing every shareholder what @eBay could be if it were run by an operator instead of caretakers collecting checks.
Live auctions.
Authenticated collectibles.
A true global resale market.
Sellers treated like partners.
Buyers plugged into real-time demand.
A marketplace that actually feels alive again.
This is the same playbook he brought to @GameStop.
Cut the waste.
Stop the corporate theater.
Build the balance sheet.
Ignore the noise.
Make the company impossible to kill.
So when $GME gets walked down after Ryan puts on an absolute masterclass, I don’t see fear.
I see confirmation.
The machine does not attack irrelevant people.
It attacks threats.
@RyanCohen is becoming a direct threat to every overpaid board, every lazy executive, every captured analyst, and every institution that profits from pretending broken leadership is “mature management.”
@GameStop is still here.
Ryan is still here.
Retail is still here.
They can shake the chart all they want.
I’m not fucking leaving.

🚨🚨🚨$115,000,000!!
For only $115 million you can get the most “significant private estate ever built in the US and Florida”. This 87 (!!) acre lakefront home on Lake Thonotosassa has helicopter and seaplane arrival options. The French Normandy home, has a 36 acre stone-wall with 51 acres of greenbelt reserve.
The mansion has almost 43k sq ft of space and basically every amenity you could imagine including a 24 car auto museum, bowling alley, billiards, theater, wellness center, indoor saltwater pool, outdoor 72’ pool, go-kart cirtcuit, boathouse, 1 mile jogging path, horse stuff and more.
Who wants to split it with me??
Ps It’s also the most expensive listing ever in Tampa.

@zillowgonewild I'd argue that Viscaya in Miami is a bit more "significant" in historical terms and impressive (for different reasons) while also in FL....but this is pretty dope and tastefully done.

@aakashgupta Huge win for Healthy Choice too.....getting untold millions of free advertising and quality PR out of it, simply by having the integrity to honor the deal and their word. Times have changed
English

In 1999, David Phillips bought 12,150 cups of chocolate pudding and turned them into 1.25 million free airline miles. Adam Sandler later made a movie about it.
He was a 35-year-old civil engineer at UC Davis when he spotted a Healthy Choice promotion offering 500 frequent flyer miles for every 10 product barcodes mailed in. Double the miles if you sent them in by May 31. Three weeks away.
Phillips ran the math nobody else did. The cheapest qualifying product was Healthy Choice individual pudding cups at Grocery Outlet. 25 cents each. That meant $2.50 of pudding bought 1,000 airline miles. The airlines themselves valued those miles at $20.
He drove a van across California with his mother-in-law, cleaned out 10 different Grocery Outlets around Sacramento, and stacked 12,150 pudding cups from his garage to his living room. When cashiers got suspicious, he told them he was stocking up for Y2K.
There was no way he could peel that many barcodes alone before the deadline.
So he called the Salvation Army and proposed a trade. He'd donate every cup if their volunteers peeled the labels first. They agreed. Phillips kept the barcodes. The Salvation Army fed people with $3,000 worth of pudding. And he claimed an $815 federal tax deduction on the donation.
He mailed the barcodes by May 31 and waited. Two months of silence. His friends told him corporations always renege on these promotions. His own kids asked if he got scammed.
Then a giant package arrived. Paper certificates worth 1,253,000 frequent flyer miles. Lifetime AAdvantage Gold status at American Airlines. $150,000 worth of flights.
The Wall Street Journal put him on the front page in January 2000. The London Times followed a week later. Paul Thomas Anderson read the coverage and built Punch Drunk Love around him in 2002. Phillips paid for his movie ticket with pudding.
Over the next five years he flew his entire family to 43 countries.
Net cost after the tax write-off: $2,325. That's $54 per country.

If you think about it @kanyewest is kind of like Inception at work in society. He says a bunch of crazy shit, while dropping an idea in people's heads. Gets in trouble and laughed at.....but 6 mos later, Kanye was right

@LouStagner The walk alone over the 4 days would wear someone down. Could score well day 1 and 2, but the last day they could shoot 120, even as a 2 hdcp
English

Let's assume a 2.5 index (not a vanity index!).
Assuming Augusta has course rating of 78 and slope of 155, the course handicap is 9.
Golfers of all skill levels will tend to average ~3 shots above course handicap. This takes our hero to an average of 12 over par.
Let's add an additional 10 shots of difficulty kicker on top of that. That puts them at an average of 22 over par per round. They would average 94 strokes each round.
88 over par over 4 rounds. They started at a 100 under par, went 88 over, and end up finishing at 12 under par.
12 under wins 6 of the last 10 events outright, plus one event where 12 under ties for the lead.
Is 10 shots enough of a kicker? For some I think it would be. They won't get in too much trouble off the tee, it's the greens that will provide the biggest pucker factor...

Here was the debate last night: non tournament tested club golfer with low single digit GHIN starts the masters at -100. Does he win? My answer is a strong no chance.

@pelositracker Did he recuse himself from the RFP/Bidding process or already moving as he took office? By no means defending the guy, but replying to and awarding $20BB DoD contract isn't a quick process. The full $$ amount is typically strung out over multiple award years too. Bigger W Anduril
English

This is a funny coincidence
Michael Obadal was Anduril's Senior Director before President Trump nominated him for Under Secretary of the Army
In a recent filing report, Michael disclosed up to $500K in Anduril stock he kept. Ethics experts call this "unheard of"
Surprise, 6 months later, the Army awarded Anduril a $20B contract
What's even more suspicious, Trump Jr's fund 1789 Capital is an Anduril investor at a 30B valuation
The timing is either the greatest coincidence in defense contracting history, or it isn't

Did you know that the number 4 is known as the black hole number?
Think of any word, name, thing etc.
For example the word ‘‘mathematics”, has eleven letters.
Now ‘eleven’ in turn has six letters.
‘Six’ has three letters.
‘Three’ has five letters.
‘Five’ has four letters.
And how many letters does ‘four’ have?
FOUR!
Think of any other word and you’ll arrive at the same dead end.
Black hole number.

@FBIDirectorKash @AwakenedOutlaw Where is the Somali Learing Center money then?

Last night, John Daghita – a U.S. government contractor who allegedly stole more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from the U.S Marshals Service – was arrested on the island of Saint Martin by the French Gendarmerie’s premier elite tactical unit in a joint operation with the @FBI.
Thanks to the International Cooperation Team Serious Crime Unit of the French Gendarmerie National in Saint Martin, and the Groupe d’intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale of Guadeloupe for the outstanding coordination.
FBI will continue working 24/7 with our international partners to track down, apprehend, and bring to justice those who attempt to defraud American taxpayers—no matter where they try to hide.

@grok @AbramsonFL @lippyent Grok, develop a final cost to build considering:
- the purchase price, adjusted for inflation
- the need for significant amounts of conrete for a foundation of a 10 room home
- paint and plaster
- skilled labor installation

@AbramsonFL @lippyent The Sears Magnolia kit home was priced at $6,488 around 1920. Adjusting for inflation using US CPI data (from 20.0 in 1920 to 324.054 in late 2025), that equates to about $105,145 in 2026 dollars.
English

The Magnolia house was a Sears kit home, 1918
For nearly 30 years, people could order a piece of the American dream through the mail.
A buyer could leaf through a Sears, Roebuck and Co. catalog, choose a house and mail in the order. In time, a railroad boxcar would chug into town, carrying a ready-to-assemble house — complete with nails and a 75-page instruction book.
Most of the house kits came in a single box car. The model, named the Magnolia, sold between 1918 and 1922. Throwback Thursday 🔙 🕒 🔥!!
