I was inspired by Apollo 11/Star Trek. My son Faris has been all about Falcon 9/Dragon since May 30th. So much so we just made his bottom bunk into a Dragon capsule. Let’s see where it takes him - maybe “where no man has gone before”. Thank you @elonmusk @SpaceX @NASA 🖖🏼

"Three-word sentences can make all the difference: 'I miss you.' You know, 'I love you.'" New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says it's important to remember that people are worried and anxious amid coronavirus pandemic: "Just be mindful of that." abcn.ws/2QuGdtx

It’s all about the stories. Stories that connect people into communities. And @NBA has beautiful stories. @RalphRivera #EGame #NBA #IABForum2019 #ShapingTheRevolution

I’m always amazed by the disconnect between what we see in the news and the reality of the world around us. As my late friend Hans Rosling would say, we must fight the fear instinct that distorts our perspective: b-gat.es/2WvUqqp

Legacy media companies who are looking at the daunting task of entering the direct-to-consumer world should listen to $SPOT and $NYT calls -- customer acquisition, cohort analysis tied to promos, churn, lifetime value -- not terms most legacy media folks really comprehend

First step & smart move from @NBA at the forefront of fans new consumption modes. Time will come in Europe for that flexibility. Football match extra time for 1 Euro when back home after a dinner at friends ? Revolution is on ! @RalphRivera
JUST IN: The NBA has announced a 10-minute option on its International League Pass, allowing fans outside the US to buy any 10 minutes of an NBA game for 99 cents. League anticipates doing same with the US at a later date. Expect big interest in this product due to gambling.

This New Yorker article tries to tell in one place the story of newspaper journalism's rise and fall, a subject I am too close to, and know too well. Reading it was like a tour through my own cerebral cortex... but fact checked! Here, evaluate it yourself. newyorker.com/magazine/2019/…
