@MarineLayerPod The piggybacking worked perfectly. Did you watch the offense?

We don’t have words man In terms of this piggyback thing, cue the Shark Tank line: “I’m Out”

@SleeperHQ Ability to tip the league commissioner @dpzens

If we built a feature that allowed you to pay league dues directly through Sleeper, what features or functionality would you want included?

@moseskagan Use your idea as a commission structure and see how much time/effort they put into your deal vs other opportunities

Why do commercial brokers get paid their commission on the full lease at move-in, rather than getting paid over time, as the tenant actually pays rent? Feels like it would be fairer for them to bear the risk of default alongside the landlord, no?

@aakashgupta If a tree truly increased a home’s value by $28k and it only cost the builder $5k to leave it there, the builder would definitely leave it there.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

@DonovanBuilds Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

Someone broke into one of my Houston 4plexes under construction recently Thousands of dollars worth of damage for what I assume to be tens of dollars worth of copper Quick work by HPD caught him and they asked if I wanted to press charges What would you do?

@NotConnorCook18 @gonzagahottakes Not only have they always earned their spot, data shows they’ve actually outperformed their seeding on average since 1999.

How can anybody argue Gonzaga deserves to be in the tournament if they don’t win their conference tournament?

@minakimes Update?

Flat out: this is a terrible move by Seattle. Chances of upgrading are extremely low.

Mitch - this is how everyone in the ReTwit community gets better. Rising tide lifts all ships. Would love to read and pass it on.

@bairdk Your footnote saved my first question. Thank you 😂

Storage Bros been pretty quiet lately. Probably because it's boring AF unless you're buying stuff. Despite the common narrative, it was a very good business for me in 2025. I'll save my words and provide the numbers:

@realEstateTrent Beyond the financial reasons, if you don’t sell and redeploy investor capital, there will be strip malls all over America that stay in less-than-ideal condition because you aren’t able to come in and positively affect that community.

Charlie Munger invited me to his home in 2023. He said something I’ll never forget 🙏

@tridenttrue Using committed language in an IG post isn’t worth losing millions in negotiation leverage. He’s a smart guy

Not loving this comment on Instagram from Naylor on Cal's post

@realdefender45 @charliekirk11 @Uber @lyft Let us help you out

My friend is in Arizona for @charliekirk11’s memorial service. Ride share services have decided to price gouge customers. Do better, @Uber @lyft

@bairdk It’s a personal decision: 1. If you’re looking to reduce stress, then the choice is obvious (save ~$1m in DS and recourse is gone) 2. If you are personally in attack mode and want action in the next five years, continue shopping that debt.

Alright REtwit, let’s see if you’ve still got it. I’m considering refinancing $10m of personally guaranteed debt into a non-recourse CMBS loan. Tell me why I shouldn’t do this. Property NOI is ~$1.25m (and growing). Current debt* is two loans: $6m at 7.75%, $4m at 4%. Both 25 yr amortization. Blended 6.3%. $797k of annual debt service. Offer on table for CMBS refi: $10m at 5.8%, 5 yrs, interest only. $580k annual debt service. Pros: more cash in my pocket to reinvest elsewhere, non-recourse to sleep better at night. Cons: practically prevents me from selling or refinancing during 5 yr term, might miss window of lower rates before then and/or be stuck with higher rates at end of term. More context: bought property 2 yrs ago for $12m at 2.9% cap rate. NOI increase driven entirely through good ops (not market force). Borrowed $11m to buy, 1031’d in $1m. *$1m balloon to seller due next month (cash is in the bank, assuming it’s already paid in this scenario). What would you do?

The events of the last few days have made it incredibly clear that we need to change our tolerance for violent offenders. One strike and you are out.

@UWbeav9 Wheaton was in sweats on the sideline the rest of the game. Good times

Na I got it lol SP was that dude !!! 😴😴😴

@TripleNetInvest The mom and pops will fade out completely, but chains will continue to thrive due to scale and innovation.

Prediction - Most family dining restaurant chains will go bankrupt in less than 10 yrs 95%+ of restaurant chains will have drive thru Your local Applebees, Denny's, iHOP, Outback, Golden Corral etc. will cease to exist No one wants to wait an hour for mediocre food/service and pay 20% tip anymore

@DonovanBuilds Tough concept for some politicians to understand.

Yesterday I testified before the senate housing committee on developing duplexes (about the only thing I know about) I sh*t you not: One senator looked me dead in my face and told me I was not only wrong, but these type of developments (duplexes) made his kids move away from him and leave the state I explained that if you only allow homeowners to develop duplexes, you’ll only get a few (wealthy) people to use it since you have about $60k of pre dev costs and 12 months of time The chair also inferred people like me are causing gentrification and displacement since we are not making the new units affordable As an expert witness you’re not really allowed to respond but I would have politely said that it costs ~$500k to build a house (incl. land) and restricting it to affordable means selling it at $325k Do I as the developer give away the $175k?

@bairdk Typically the equation we’re all trying to solve for when going through a ton of nutrition over a summer!

@maxvanholl Best carb/$ I’ve found. I got mine from The Feed. Free and quick shipping.

Over under on 💩ing my pants tomorrow?

@bairdk Let’s go! I’ll give them a big spin next weekend.

@maxvanholl 👍🏼 For the Carbs gels, Max. Race almost didn’t happen because of rain/snow and ended up being shortened and I only had about 3 hrs in the saddle. Kept to fueling plan and had great power and no stomach issues.
