Well. For a non blue check this take blew up. And I 100% stand behind it. FTR I posted this before game got out of hand and obviously the play on pitch was worse than the Hamptons look of the broadcast crew. 99% of people with real jobs couldn’t wear these clothes to work.

PayPal paid $275M for Happy Returns just 2.5 years ago - when the investment world was a different place. Doesn’t sound too bad for either party or the founders and management.

Follow up to the news earlier this week that PayPal was selling Happy Returns to $UPS for an undisclosed amount. We are now told in $PYPL earnings call that the price tag was $465 Million in cash--meaningfully higher than the acquisition price. A huge positive outcome! 📦📦📦

Had my first colonoscopy today. Honestly, have been dreading and putting off for years. It’s all true. Prep sucks (like being forced to drink warm Rumple Minze and dealing w/ consequences). But the procedure is pretty easy. If you are in LA and a need a referral, I have one.

@thebenbergman @msuster What Upfront has built here in #LongLA is greatly unappreciated. While it's a privilege to be an investor, it's more competitive and difficult than anyone is willing to admit. Regardless, I wouldn’t be where I am today without Mark (and Yves) and for that, I am forever grateful."

Chuckles. I was lit-up over the weekend regarding my comment on #TNTSports crew dressing overly casual while covering the #USMNT friendly vs Colombia. Well, someone was paying attention and it’s as warm today in Orlando as was in DC. Much better. You can see before and after!

@micahjay1 It was great while it lasted. One of the most sudden drops in service levels I have seen from a premium consumer service business. Has to be a mix of huge subscriber growth, inability or unwillingness to hire more people and no additional TSA resources to service all travelers.

There may not be many of them, but know what it costs to be a hardcore Los Angeles sports TV content consumer? ~$3,000/year! Now, we can add another $500/year if looking to replace ESPN w/ Spectrum Cable removal. Not to mention the crappy experience of toggling between providers.

I'm biased as a Brentwood School and a 49ers fan but I think of Brock Purdy! Most importantly, last Friday Boone stepped up in leading the Eagles to a 43-24 comeback win over rival Palisades High (after being down 24-14 at halftime). A school with 5x as many students. Big fan.
