An absolute joke. I was at Nike for 7 years. Almost every single Black person I knew working there has left. And most of them didn’t want to. There’s a perception that it’s a bastion of diversity & inclusion (mostly because of its marketing). It’s not. It’s just like every other giant corporation.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

Shout out to Pep Guardiola for not cowering under the “I’m just a sports guy” excuse. All the respect to that man

The most predictable outcome of the Trump's hostility to immigrants is mass outsourcing of those jobs from the United States. This is another example of damage being done to the economy which will be hard to reverse in a few years when people finally figure out how badly Trump screwed things up.

We pulled this one out of the paywall for today so more folks can read it

Excel magic, baby!

Tigrayans in northern Ethiopia fear a return to all-out war, 3 years after the last devastating conflict in the region. Fighting broke out again last week in a disputed area of western Tigray. The civil war of 2020-2022 killed more than 600,000 people. u.afp.com/S2xX

Excel magic, baby.

I’ve said it before, Bad Bunny had the best album of the year, for me. DTMF was 🤌🏾

In the last 48 hours, Musk's reactions to the Epstein release show exactly why he bought Twitter. He's used the platform to call coverage of his emails with Epstein as "lies," elevated his fans who have defended him, and gotten positive reinforcement from his AI chatbot.

Umm, am I going to get to see the state of Texas elect a Democratic senator in my lifetime? Wowzers

Man, let Paul George juice a little. He has like 25% leg capacity left

Given today, I’d say the probability of him giving orders to strike Iran over the weekend just went up significantly

Elon Musk has repeatedly said he "REFUSED" to visit Jeffrey Epstein's island. Correspondence released today shows he was actively coordinating a visit between 2012 and 2014. It is still unclear if Musk actually did visit the island, but he certainly was interested. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

I mean, not that it’s a shocker, still, Elon and *that* man being confirmed Island Bros is… what an insane time to live in.

Elon Musk has publicly claimed he never visited Epstein's island and barely knew the man. New documents show Musk emailing Epstein in Dec 2013: "Is there a good time to visit?" Epstein: "always space for you" This was 5 years after Epstein's 2008 conviction and sex offender registration.

Sadly predictable. Hundreds of thousands of dead just a few years ago, and now we’re right back to bloodshed.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

Hug your Gold and Silver stan friends. They’re not doing well today

Also had to go read this WaPo piece from 2017.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

This gets us one step closer toward the final form of Tesla, where the only thing it sells is pieces of paper that say “we swear this isn’t a Ponzi scheme.”

No feature ever made for iOS is more useless than “summarize messages” on iMessage.

Highest funded LE agency; only 14 countries have a military budget that’s higher than ICE’s budget.

No Super Bowl ad will beat this. It’s flawless. Someone put Marshawn on #AKOTSK S2.

Chin up, fella, it’s only a job.

When in doubt, make some excel model magic happen. Abracadabra, just made $45B appear 🪄

Everyone who grew up in an authoritarian state can relate to “Americans take democracy for granted.”

Still, +2% AFT. Damodaran once said #$TSLA defies logic/fundamentals more than any other company he’s modeled a valuation of. Pure vibes

Perez is firing Arbeloa at the tarmac.

Absolute scenes at Luz. Big Jose doing classic champions league things

Sensing a trend here.

Jose is auditioning for the Real Madrid gig. If they were playing at the Bernabeu he’d be doing sprints on the sidelines #championsleague

Here's the Heritage Foundation all-in on repealing Section 230 so that litigious Christian nationalists can dictate the speech rules for the entire Internet It's so embarrassing so many Dems are falling for this www.teenvogue.com/story/some-d...

Found a new coffee roaster in my neighborhood. They have a super light roast nat processed coffee. Got distracted reading something and left it brewing in the Pulsar for 10mins…accidentally unlocked something 🤌🏾 PS. Don’t know if #brewsky is a thing here, but if it’s not, I’m claiming it

Never thought I’d see the day a Tory ex minister like Rory Stewart say “the USA is a threat to Europe.” Brand new world we live in.

Turns out, marginally cheaper and a confusing customer experience doesn’t work well.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib. He thought he was going to die. Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.

SCOOP Meta has started blocking links to ICE List on Facebook, Instagram and Threads www.wired.com/story/meta-i...

I know he probably has an ulterior motive, but Sepp Blatter saying “stay away from the USA!” for #worldcup is kind of a big deal. If just one NT’s federation acts, it might break the dam.

#OpenAI is targeting a $60 CPM for #ChatGPT ads. And I’m targeting to run a 9sec 100m dash.

The idea of this guy running… no. Because, you know, my memory still works.

RevengeBowl 2026.

Give the mike back to Jody one more time so she can big up the big homie Paul one time. RIP to the legend 🫡

Ginger Cuz going to the bowl of supers. He showed up tonight. Him and JSN tonight #seahawks

Be nice to run the ball here like we did in the 1st Q. Be nice, that’s all

Yeah, this really is the Super Bowl

JSN is good at footballing

JSN, you’re not human
