@TravisAllenHall hey man, heard you wanted to chat, hit my DMs 👍

@ANovaGentleman @nut_history Similar rule here also, they need to be retired

@nut_history I agree. I have a rule with jerseys. They have to be someone I liked before I graduated high school. Class of 91, so my Cards jersey is Willie McGee. My Chiefs jersey is Derrick Thomas.

I want to have a legit conversation on this Please share your thoughts. Do you think it’s weird?

@nut_history Isn't that the stadium that Harry Bonds hit all of the touch down goal units and scored lots of points?

So many angry people in the replies I apologize. I was tweeting this quickly. It’s park and not STADIUM. My bad

@nut_history I don't have a strong opinion, but I don't think it's weird. I will say that I've never worn a jersey outside of a baseball stadium, even then it's usually a team t shirt. Also I only buy jerseys of retired players, they hop around, that Soto Yankee jersey doesn't slap anymore 🤷

@TheFlowHorse More good stuff on the timeline! I like this, should be a trend. Here's another good one for you from an account I follow: x.com/i/status/20379…

Some good stuff for your day.

@beeple No Kid Rock helicopter???

TGIF

@JarFriends @veefriends

Should we do it!? H.E.R.0 @veefriends

@AlexLongneck @souldigg @IncomeSharks Yes, but it hasn't happened yet. AI isn't far enough along and companies are not yet laying off employees to replace them with AI. They're laying off employees to cut costs. It will happen, it hasn't yet.

@itsjuuustmike @souldigg @IncomeSharks x.com/gregisenberg/s…

Oracle just laid off 30k people. Unemployment on a steady rise, numbers come out Friday and it's already expected to go up again. Feels like maybe it should be given a little more weight.

@souldigg @AlexLongneck @IncomeSharks That's a narrative not yet a reality

@itsjuuustmike @AlexLongneck @IncomeSharks AI is ABSOLUTELY the reason. What world u living in?!?

@AlexLongneck @IncomeSharks AI isn't the reason for layoffs, yet

@IncomeSharks Due to AI or other reasons?

@nut_history OH WAIT... is Michael Schumacher one?

Out curiosity - do you have an all-time favourite F1 driver?

@nut_history Can't even name one 🤷 Doesn't mean I don't like it though, I dig racing

@Polish_Buddy @garyvee @PeachEfknkeen @crobles2collect @JCourageFIT @gasfairy_eth @veefriends If I'm going to judge an organization as a whole then yes I'm going to zoom that far out, it's necessary in my opinion. Quality is going to be one of those subjective things. That's why they make 31 different flavors of ice cream 🤷

@itsjuuustmike @garyvee @PeachEfknkeen @crobles2collect @JCourageFIT @gasfairy_eth @veefriends If we are zooming that far out, I would say the quality has been "just alright." Almost every big drop has had its mishap, and until that changes.... I can not call it very good

Whatever H.E.R.O means we'll all find out tomorrow! And @garyvee says this will be one of the biggest updates/drops in @veefriends short history, especially for "OGs" (the definition of OG in the VF world has definitely lost a whole lot of meaning, but I think it's clear what he meant when he used the term talking about this announcement) What do we think? Product? Access? Future roadmap? Community building? Drop your comments on what you think!

@itsjuuustmike ❤️

@Polish_Buddy @garyvee @PeachEfknkeen @crobles2collect @JCourageFIT @gasfairy_eth @veefriends I understand that perspective absolutely. Largely speaking though, from the initial zero cool drop to the wearable merch, the stuffed animals, squishmallows, all the things, the quality has been in my opinion very good

@itsjuuustmike @garyvee @PeachEfknkeen @crobles2collect @JCourageFIT @gasfairy_eth @veefriends Well considering we saw no correction and the team just shipped the product……VF is easily to blame here

@Polish_Buddy @garyvee @PeachEfknkeen @crobles2collect @JCourageFIT @gasfairy_eth @veefriends Meaning the stickers sticking to the packaging? Yeah that sucked, but that's manufacturing. If the VF org doesn't correct that issue then yeah that's on them. Otherwise I thought they were good quality as far as stickers go.

@itsjuuustmike @garyvee @PeachEfknkeen @crobles2collect @JCourageFIT @gasfairy_eth @veefriends Quality has been extremely poor if you look at the spec sticker drop….

@Polish_Buddy @garyvee @PeachEfknkeen @crobles2collect @JCourageFIT @gasfairy_eth @veefriends Honestly I think the product quality is solid. The treasure chests imo were amazing quality, Topps cards same. I understand the quantity and dilution concerns though. For me personally I've stopped buying, my well has been tapped dry for these types of things.

@garyvee @PeachEfknkeen @crobles2collect @JCourageFIT @gasfairy_eth @veefriends What if you just made a few GOOD products a year with higher production #s so we can actually get excited and get exposure on the timeline instead of dropping crap nobody is really asking for every few weeks and have the riddled with errors?

@nut_history This knucklehead unfortunately

In your opinion, who is the most popular celebrity of all-time? I'll go with Michael Jackson

@VitalTrades @unusual_whales Agreed and a hike would be a terrible move for the fed. I'd be willing to bet that an inflation increase would be temporary and once oil calms we would be back to whatever the new normal is

Fair point on the dual mandate — but that's actually worse for US markets, not better. The BOE/ECB will hike to kill inflation. That's painful but it's decisive. The Fed CAN'T hike because employment is softening (4.3% and rising). But they also CAN'T cut because oil just broke $115. So the BOE acts. The ECB acts. The Fed... sits there paralyzed. Bloomberg's own rate projection model now shows a HIGHER probability of a Fed hike in 2026 than a cut. The dual mandate isn't protecting the US — it's trapping the Fed in no man's land. The worst outcome for markets isn't a hike or a cut. It's a central bank that can do neither while the economy deteriorates. That's where we are.

Goldman Sachs has said investors are overestimating the likelihood of a Fed rate hike.

Which former athlete did you/still have a crush on?
