This commencement speech by Eric Church is one of the best I’ve seen, both in message and delivery.

Really great to catch that interview with Paul Tudor Jones on Squawk Box.

“Ben Sasse is dying. Remarkably, he has chosen to walk through the valley of the shadow of death in the public eye.” Grateful for the chance to reflect on this cultural moment and Sasse’s hard-earned wisdom about cancer, politics, and redeeming the time. thegospelcoalition.org/article/sasse-…

Ben Sasse: "One of the weird lines @timkellernyc used to say is, 'I hate this, but I would never want to go back to the prayer life I had before pancreatic cancer,' which I thought sounded pretty weird. . .But then I felt, what a blessing that I'm saying, 'Lord, come quickly, Maranatha. Thank you for all of the different things that I used to cling to that right now seem really, really trivial because they're actually really trivial.'" @BenSasse

What a day- happy 189th, Michigan; happy 47th, Dukes of Hazard; and 40th, Super Bowl Champ Bears!

A literal fortress of ice in Grand Haven, Michigan. 🧊🌊 The drone view of the South Pierhead Outer Light completely encased in frozen spray while Lake Michigan continues to roar.

The customer experience is starkly better at @Artnjakes than @bjsrestaurants.

I thought websites have to give you the option of opting out of non-functional cookies. Why doesn’t @EtixWorld?

@fundstrat @isabelletanlee I appreciate Tom’s faith beyond the market! But, being frugal, wonder if we might get a new Granny list in the next month if I take advantage of the Black Friday sale…!

I really enjoyed working with @isabelletanlee on this profile Great work 🙏

I don’t understand how games are assigned. All weeklong, we got promos on Fox for the Bears-Giants game. The national map said Bears-Giants. Yet we are stuck watching Vikings-Ravens.

Finally got a hold of someone at @YouTubeTV and they went mute for two minutes before hanging up.

It’s the correct zip code in the profile. Long wait time to call.

@JeffAgrest @NFLonFOX @506sports The blue must have grew because we now have MN game in Michigan, unfortunately.

I may be on an island but not a big fan of the Big Ten's gradual shifting of weekday games to the weekend, apprently driven by media rights but also likely impacted by expansion's transcontinental travel.

Just found out @Starbucks will shut down ordering ahead from app when they are down staff.

I wonder what the rationale was of the @LansingLugnuts making today’s game a day game. With kids in school, tomorrow’s game being crazy with MSU back on Thirsty Thursday, and many out of town for Labor Day weekend, today was the last chance for families this season.

@LansingLugnuts Is the game starting on time?

@ATTHelp Thanks. I verified, shared proof that the bill is arriving nearly 3 weeks after the issue date and waited 10 minutes for a response on why our business account is running into this. Don’t have more time when trying to run that business. Ball in your court now.

@derekbajema Hi Derek. We truly understand the importance of receiving our bills at a time that fit our schedule, and we are totally ready to assist you with that. Please share with us more details about this by sending us a private message. ^MatiasG

It does not seem fair that @ATT bills consistently arrive 7-8 days before the payment is due. Wouldn't the easy fix be to put the bills in the mail earlier? This is especially hard on seniors and small businesses who prefer to pay by check.
