If you could only do one lift for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I got pull ups

@Sp0rtsFreq @Karl_Townes If you are at Kentucky, especially then, you’re not mid.

@Karl_Townes By many standards, Booker would have been considered pretty mid his one year at UK.

Who was the most mid player in college basketball that turned out to be an absolute STUD in the NBA?

Three "conspiracies" I subscribe to:
• Charlie Kirk's assassination was an inside job.
• Jeffrey Epstein didn't commit suicide.
• Donald Trump staged his own assassination attempt.

@TylerPurcell24 The VCs who are investing in these rounds are power users of Whoop so they think there’s a huge demand. But there’s not.
English
This blows my mind. I used Whoop for a while. Here’s what I found:
- I wasn’t using the data to change anything
I workout almost daily no matter how i feel.
Bad sleep rating? I have 3 kids. I can’t just catch up on sleep and recovery.
Who is truly finding this information invaluable and actually using it to improve their life?

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION I am pleased to announce that we’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round. But it also represents our push into broader health. In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future.

@realtimsharp The Dems and the Republicans have locked things down so a 3rd party can’t win.

Libertarians clearly have the best ideas. Why don’t they win elections?

Without saying David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker, name a Spur…..

@TolentinoTeach Definitely. And I partly blame Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube short videos.

What’s changed with students since Covid?
Plenty.
But one thing stands out to me: stamina.
The stamina to read.
The stamina to write.
It wasn’t perfect before Covid, but it feels like it’s gotten worse.
What do you think?

Name an athlete whose college career was better than their pro career.

@MetsMuse Did Minter’s arm completely fall off? What is taking him so long to get ready?

This quarter, I’ve closed multiple $1M+ without a slide deck.
I’m using a single AI tool. Today, I want to share it, free.
After signing, a prospect asked me how we created the site. They were so wow-ed they wanted it for their own clients.
Here’s what floored them: it took a single designer 5 minutes to prompt and launch.
The AI chains together 6 key parts of our sales process, turning a 18-page deck into a single, personalized website.
When they asked, I gave them this template and workflow.
Now I want to share it for free:
Follow me + comment “GA” and I’ll DM it.

@PramilaJayapal There is too much waste in government. I agree that loopholes like carried interest can be closed but overall taxes shouldn't be raised until more govt waste is eliminated. We need to bring back DOGE but do it better this time and sick DOGE on the Department of Defense too.
English
Let me break this down simply: We have a greed problem.
We can afford Medicare for All. We can afford to house every person sleeping on the street. We can afford to make public college tuition free and guarantee access to universal pre-k to every child in America.
The money exists. It's just sitting in the bank accounts of billionaires who write blank checks to corrupt politicians to make sure it stays there.
Tax the rich. Fund the people. That's it.

Just for context ... the referee is Roger Ayers, who has worked multiple Final Fours. Known for his toughness and also sense of humor. This struck me as Hurley messing with a buddy more than intimidating a ref. This is after Mullins' shot, so Hurley was obviously not mad at the refs.
Jon Root@JonnyRoot_
UCONN HC Dan Hurley made contact with an official after his team went up 1 with .4 seconds left after trailing as much as 19 in the game. He literally taunted an official & is incredibly lucky he didn’t cost his team the game with a tech.

met a woman in marbella making $68,000/month replying to google reviews
not writing them
not getting them
replying to them
"thank you for your kind words we appreciate your feedback"
340 times a month
340 property management clients paying her $200/month each
to type slightly different versions of "thanks for the review"
no ads, website, content or personal brand
she sends one cold email:
"you have 50 google reviews and havent replied to a single one. every unanswered review costs you roughly 9% of potential tenants. want me to handle all your review responses for $200/month?"
thats the pitch
thats the whole business
one stat that scares property managers turned into $68K/month
she hired 2 VAs in the philippines at $600/month each to do the actual replies
total overhead: $1,200
net profit: $66,800/month
from replying to google reviews
heres why nobody competes with her:
the task is so boring that nobody thinks its a business
no one wakes up and says "i want to build a company that replies to google reviews"
but every property manager knows they should reply and never does because its low priority and tedious
$200/month is nothing to a company collecting $50-200K in rent
but unanswered reviews silently eating their occupancy rate is a real problem
she didnt sell a service but the removal of a task they were too busy to do themselves
at a price so low that saying no felt dumb
and the churn is almost zero because who cancels a $200/month service that runs itself
the formula:
- find a boring recurring task every business in one niche ignores
- prove it costs them money to ignore it
- charge so little the decision is automatic
- deliver with cheap labour so margins stay above 90%
- stack hundreds of clients because nobody cancels
same formula that built the $2.4M/year dentist compliance business
same formula running the $3.1M portable toilet empire
the most profitable businesses are always the ones nobody wants to brag about
stop building things that sound cool on twitter
start finding the boring task nobody will do for the wealthy customer who will gladly pay to never think about it again

If you haven’t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you don’t know what it is like to teach the modern student.
The students have changed.
Teaching has changed.
You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.

@EricBalchunas Greatest high school coach ever! Was really tough on all of his players but was hardest on Bobby Jr and Danny. If you look at how many guys of his played in college and then how many played in the NBA, it is incredible. List includes current NBA player Kyle Anderson
English
Bob Hurley (Danny's father) is fascinating guy, the Jack Bogle of bball IMO. Dude coached a catholic HS with no gym to 25 state championships in 39 years with a 90% winning record. His teams beat Kobe twice and a bunch of other future NBA guys in HS. The whole time it was just his side gig to his job as probation officer which he never gave up despite all kinds of offers. Built different. Great book about it called The Miracle of St Anthony.

Bob Hurley Sr said this was the ‘singularly most exciting’ college basketball moment he’s been around And that’s saying something

@eric_heffernan @Matt_Pinner Your answer is Michael Jordan. Jordan is one of the most famous people on the planet.
English
@Matt_Pinner The answer til September was different.
Now, it’s Charlie Kirk.
Before that it was , Fridge Perry, Mike Singletary, Randy Travis, Michael Jordan, etc. etc.
Since, Charlie holds the top spot alone.

Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever spoken to?
Not “seen from far away” — actually talked to, even for a minute.
A quick hello, a handshake, a normal conversation… and you still remember it.
Who was it?
English
@Chris_NYY28 I honestly don’t think Lindor is 100%. I know that he hurt his hand and not his legs but he looked slow and his slide was very clumsy. That’s atypical for him. He’s usually very quick and very slick with his sliding.
English
@sweatystartup I really don’t like Danny Hurley. Earlier this season he yelled at a ref “Don't turn your back on me. I'm the best coach in the f---ing sport"
English
Grown adults in leadership positions should not act this way.
Should have been a tech and they should have lost the game.
Fire him.

this angle is crazy. Hurley is a physcopath lmaooo
