Ron Rivera made a LOT of mistakes during his tenure here, but IMO, his worst was telling a future Hall of Fame left tackle he’d have to “prove it” before they looked to renegotiate his contract.

The Mets are going to run a half-billion-dollar payroll next year, including luxury taxes. The Phoenix Suns will sell for almost twice the prior league-record price. Google is about to outbid everyone else for NFL Sunday Ticket.
Fed rate hikes don't work on the sports economy.

When 2 groups of penguins meet on the road, they stop for a short exchange of information. When one of them moves in with the wrong group, a friend goes after him to bring him back🙂🐧🐧🐧

Recently spoke to a new foundation, just getting set up. They want to fund "innovatively". Honestly, the best #philanthropy is just evidence-based or evidence-generating, unrestricted, long term, easy to apply for, and low maintenance. Sadly that is still pretty innovative.

Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)

This is the Japanese Puffer Fish - one of #nature's greatest artists. To grab a female’s attention he creates something that defies belief.
Nature is more amazing than we will ever know. Protect it in all its forms.

this excellent thread on cash transfers and baby brainwaves is a beautiful example of the fine art of calling bullshit.
Thread! Everyone's talking about this new study showing cash transfers "speed up brain activity" in babies (pnas.org/content/pnas/119/5/…).
It must be a big deal, because it was announced with a "Breaking News" tweet by no less than the New York Times: xitter.gq/nytimes/status/1485707…

More than 70 million #COVID19 vaccine doses have been administered so far.
Less than 20,000 of these were on the African continent.
A global immunity gap puts everyone at risk. We need a global vaccination campaign that reaches everyone, everywhere.

In Benin, the cashew industry has the potential to help hundreds of thousands of small-scale farmers lift themselves out of poverty. TechnoServe is using remote sensing and machine learning to target training to farmers.

In India, smallholders like Mottadam Jogiraju are dealing with enormous challenges due to COVID-19. I’m honored to engage nonprofits and FPO’s in furthering the Walmart Foundation’s work to support sustainable livelihoods for Indian farmers. bit.ly/2FcquN4

Over 20% of youth are unemployed in Kenya, & lack of economic opportunity drives many young women & men, like Francis Kihara, to crime. While in prison, Francis completed our STRYDE program where he learned new skills to build a better life after prison.
