@DeezNutsIYKYK @ShoutoutKG Chicago, Boston, Detroit… the quintessential modern growing cities lmao. Atlanta is the only comparable one and they lucked out with a piece of land large enough to build a neighborhood. Like what they’re building for Inter Miami.

@Heybusti @ShoutoutKG Tell me you’ve never been to Wrigley, Fenway, Comerica, hell, even the Braves stadium in a sprawling hellscape like Atlanta

The worst location for a baseball stadium, the most inconvenient place to go watch sports in South Florida. Move them to Broward or West Palm Beach and it would be full most games.

@ptrelfg @ShoutoutKG “The hood” lmao

@Heybusti @ShoutoutKG It’s simple. The stadium is in a shitty part of town no walkability. You definitely don’t want to be in that area at night considering it’s the middle of the hood. You can live 10 miles away from the stadium. Still takes you two hours to get there plus another hour & half back

@DeezNutsIYKYK @ShoutoutKG It’s a 10-minute drive from downtown dude. Walkability?? No modern stadium in a growing city is walkable.

@ShoutoutKG @Heybusti Driving to that stadium from downtown sucks. Zero walkability, nobody is trying to go to little Havana if they don’t have to

@krus_chiki And looks sick.

$100 less than the other one and actually made in usa

@KJP Just discovered your brand. Wow.

@SnazzyLabs @geekcubano Just curious, why would it have to cross into Canada?

@geekcubano It will likely have to cross the border 30 miles into Canada at some point, but USA/Canada.

This will cost me like $50,000 if I decide to pull the trigger on doing this, but it is possible. And the quality would be unreal.

@JoePompliano Exactly. They do the MRI and it’s blatantly obvious which knee is being scanned. If this story is true, it’s on Mbappe.

This story makes no sense and, if true, actually makes Mbappe look just as bad. Doctors usually confirm the injury site multiple times before placing a large knee coil over the injured knee during an MRI. If the wrong knee was scanned, that means the doctor messed up *and* Mbappe was so checked out that he didn't realize they put the device on his uninjured knee.

@dieworkwear The best damn account in this hellhole.

I think interesting outfits are about two things. First, what does the outfit suggest? Second, what does the outfit look like? Outfits will naturally suggest something, whether you want them to or not. Some of the most stylish people I see in real life are not even into fashion. This includes the owner of an Italian restaurant near me, who wears big navy sport coats that don't quite fit, along with a gold Mariner-link bracelet. Or a barista who I thought wore Lemaire and Margiela, but actually alters thrifted clothes at home with her sewing machine. Some years ago, I wrote a blog post about the charming ways I see people dress at my local bookstore. Specifically, the people who attend author talks — the old anthropology guy with a beaten Jansport and dusty cords. The exquisite ladies with fancy scarves. The tweedy bookstore owner. Sometimes these clothes hint at something interesting about the person's inner life. The old anthropology guy may know a lot about linguistics. One can imagine the Italian restaurateur charming people every night in his sports coat and gold bracelet. Second, what does the outfit look like? If we are talking about the stylishness of an outfit, then there has to be an outfit. A porn star may have an interesting life, but one can't say someone has a stylish outfit if they're not wearing an outfit. Thus, for an outfit to be visually interesting, it helps to have certain characteristics. First is shape and drape (Does the outfit have a distinctive silhouette? How does the fabric hang and move?). Second, the use of accessories or layers (good outfits often have a "finishing layer"). Some will have texture, although not all outfits need them. A lot of fashion content is about how to achieve a trendy look. Or how to dress in a way to project certain desirable attributes — wealth, fitness, success, respectability, etc. This sort of content can be fine, but doesn't always resonate with me. At worst, sometimes this advice lands you with something like slide one. Some years ago, a stylist dressed Stephen Colbert for the cover of WSJ Magazine. I felt the clothes made him look less like himself — the minimalist, trendy look said nothing about his inner life except "I want to look trendy." I think this can make you look like an ambulant mannequin. The clothes suggest nothing except that you're a consumer. IMO, a good outfit suggests something culturally and personally. It also looks natural. And it often employs things such as shape, drape, layers, and texture. The outfit doesn't have to look eccentric — although it can. The best summation of good style comes from my friend and fellow menswear writer Bruce Boyer, who said, "Style is simply about being yourself on purpose." Sometimes this cultivation is a lifelong process, which is why it can take some experimentation. Some years ago, a friend of mine in Vermont attended a workshop about growing flax, the plant used to produce linen. One of the attendees wore a gray tweed sport coat with a pink chambray shirt, jeans, and Wellies. I found his outfit to be very charming/ interesting.

@nacional_memes And that, kids, is how I met your mother.

@iamharishvasu @PrajwalTomar_ @Lovable He didn’t say it was a good launch video…

@PrajwalTomar_ @Lovable Lovable is nice but calling this a full fledged launch video is a stretch.

This is NOT normal. @Lovable just generated this entire animated launch video in under 2 minutes. Not a slideshow. Not a GIF. A REAL launch video. From one prompt. This used to take days and cost you $500+ for a video editor. We are living in a completely different world.

@WyattzWorId That’s a TSA line.

Did something come out today? Why the fuck are people wrapped around Best Buy at 10 am

@kylenabecker That picture tho.

This is one the funniest things you'll read all day

@dpedelty This doesn’t make any sense. You were able to do construction without power? You opened a hole in the barber shops door to run whatever that cable is? Your drive thru is in a war zone??

The barbershop next door saved the opening of our first Scooter’s Coffee. And it happened because I broke my own rule: FUFU — Follow Up or F*ck Up.

@tessriski @jayhweaver Why would you call out the Mayor and use his photo when the last sentence of your story specifies Suarez is not part of the investigation? I guess even journalists will do anything for clicks.

@MarketingMax Yes. It’s mind blowing.

If I want to use AI to oneshot a website from a sales deck... Is Lovable my best bet?

@KurtSupeCPA I mean, buying anything in 2019 was a great move. No way it’s worth less than $1MM now.

Client bought a lake house in 2019. $485,000 purchase price. "We'll use it every weekend." They used it 11 times in 5 years. Here's what that lake house actually cost: $31,200/year mortgage $14,400/year property taxes and insurance $8,700/year maintenance and repairs $6,200/year utilities $4,100/year HOA Total: $64,600 a year. They could have rented premium lake houses across the country every single summer for $12,000. And kept the additional compounding in their portfolio with far less problems to deal with. They were tired of the headaches. They just listed it. "We thought it would bring the family together." The family came twice. Real estate feels like an asset BUT it can turn into an expensive hobby with a deed.

@ZachZelle Is nobody in the comments actually in Miami?? It’s been thunderstorms all day lol. We’re spending our day watching TV and cursing that we washed our cars yesterday.

it’s Sunday in Miami how is everyone spending the day? what are the best weekend activities for new people here let them know, no gatekeeping 👇👇👇

@johnonmain @jack @blocks Imagine lecturing the literal founder of Twitter on tweet etiquette

@jack @blocks imagine you get canned and your CEO posts a tweet about it without any uppercase letters like he's an early 20s girl

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

@theficouple Where are you borrowing 90% on rental properties?

$50,000 into VOO or down payment on $500k rental property? If VOO appreciates 9% per year, in 10 years you have ~$118,368. If the property appreciates 4% a year, in 10 years you have ~$367,422 of equity. That math is the math.
