Steve Kerr played for two of the greatest NBA coaches ever in Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich. He was asked, "What made them both so effective as coaches?" His answer was so insightful and explains so much about coaching and leadership 👇

1/I've been sitting on this rage-🧵but it's less than 50d to the election, so... IF A PERSON WHO WAS PRESIDENT FOR 4 YEARS & TRIED TO REPEAL MY HEALTHCARE SAID HE HAD "CONCEPTS OF A PLAN" FOR ITS REPLACEMENT, I'D BE PISSED. You should too-it's YOUR healthcare! Read on.

Let’s go, Coach Kerr! Thanks for bringing home the gold for Team USA, and for your leadership at a crucial moment for our country.

Republican Mayor of Mesa, AZ, John Giles: “Silence is not an option...Trump has demonstrated that he lacks the character, the commitment to the rule of law, and the U.S. Constitution to qualify as an elected official, let alone as president of the United States.”

Is it karma that I can thank the Google Developer Groups (GDG) program that I was instrumental in starting for my #GoogleIO ticket as a GDG member all these years later? 🤔🙏

Who else is going to #GoogleIO next week? Let's get together! I will be staying in Santa Clara from Monday morning through Wednesday evening. Tuesday and Wednesday during the day I will be at I/O. Monday and Wednesday evening are also an option. io.google/2024/

BREAKING: Republican Senator James Lankford on Fox News just blamed Donald Trump for there being no border security legislation. Retweet so every American sees Republicans blame Trump for the open border.

Holy moly. This is worth every minute. Jonathan Katz exposes Katie Britt as a lying sack of shit. 👀

To all of those people who dislike Taylor Swift because she has different political views than you. Just stop! Try to watch this video without tearing up. 9-year-old Scarlett Oliver has been given just 12-18 months to live after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. Scarlett’s dream was to meet Taylor Swift, and Swift made sure that that happened. Taylor Swift is an amazing person. We are allowed to disagree with each other, but there are bigger things in life than just politics. You can donate to Scarlett’s GoFundMe by searching the site for “Support Scarlett’s fight against Brain Cancer”

We see where this is going Mike. Embryos are now children in Alabama? You and your party do what you will, but we’re going to fight you every step of the way.

Steve Kerr is underrated simply because he can have conversations like this and change the direction of a player/team. It’s not just X’s and O’s. Life is much deeper and nuanced than that.

Have you visited the Monarch Butterflies yet? If not, you should soon! This was late afternoon yesterday at Lighthouse Field and it may be the most I’ve seen flying around!
