New @Titans GM Ran Carthon says he told his wife (girlfriend at the time) in 2003 that after playing he wanted to be an NFL GM. "She told me she almost stopped dating me because she didn’t want someone who lives in La La Land." Carthon: β€œHoney, today that dream comes true.”

Here is a question you will never be able to whiteboard your way to a solution on: You have two small children. They wake up, with immense difficulty, at 7:10 and 7:38 respectively in weekdays and yet at 6:31 on weekends. How do you optimize this function?

Please keep Damar in your thoughts and prayers. Please refrain from speculation and contacting his family/friends if you aren’t close to them. Ppl asking to donate - There’s a gofundme floating around from Damar’s toy drive /back to school drive if you want to support.

PSA:
@Chase
integration to Apple Pay is down, leading to persistent declines when trying to use Apple Pay. No ETA on a fix. Took me calling Chase after getting declined twice (and luckily having my physical card on me) to figure out why...

@arpanpunyani
and I met the team when
@opshelm
was just an idea, born from the pain these seasoned security practitioners regularly faced. Rookie mistakes shouldn't lead to massive cybersecurity incidents. Now they don't have to.

To not create a new color status scheme, Twitter should just adopt Johnnie Walker's whisky tiering system: $1/mo - Red Label/Checkmark $2 - Black $4 - Double Black $5 - Gold $6 - Green $7 - Platinum $8 - Blue Label Bonus: super legible to Asian uncles everywhere

My 4yo son asked if he could buy it for $11. Which is saying a lot about how much he wants it because that is literally all the money he has counted in his piggy bank πŸ˜‚

If, four years ago, you had told me exactly how much food I would consume off my kids' plates and floor around them, I wouldn't have believed you. At this point it is a non-negligible amount of my daily caloric intake...
