The following @wnba.com values are #ESPN's estimates:

2019: #NewYorkLiberty sold for $14 million.

Wow!

Now, salaries need to grow a commensurate amount!

When's the Right Time to Turn Around on an Adventure? Hint: It's earlier than you think.

As a past ignorer red flags, including a few from this article, on a solo hike before falling off the side of a trail - the kindness of two strangers saved me from the worst ramifications - I can attest to the need to prepare and pay attention to warning signs.

Thank you for this wisdom from the finale: "Life scores us all differently every day, with a rulebook that changes every day.... what works one day may not work the next, but you'll work through it, and... with the good people around you... because we'll get through this together."

Thank you.

LOL. KFC with the sweet "Sanders" reference!

As best as I can tell, the original post is your post about the S&P 599 being down 10%. Please just post the link.

This is fascinating data, but a couple of different search prompts failed to uncover the original study. Can you share a link to it? Thanks!

A Lenny-approved pick! 🐕🦴

As always, you brought well-informed insights.

What about the #Rams?

Additionally, highly regarded MBA programs create student bodies and even study groups that are diverse in job function, industry, race, homeland, sexual orientation, and many other ways. Why? Research shows that groups of people with diverse lived experiences enhance outcomes for everybody.

As a wealthy cis-, het-, white male, I know that my "peers" who are not in that demographic are SMARTER, HARDER WORKING, and MORE RESILIENT than me.

While obvious experts like @minakimes.bsky.social are doubted, I receive excess benefit of the doubt.

That's messed up!

Nice callback!

Yeah, it looked like a post originally from only six months ago. I'm glad that you've noticed their recovery.

If this story inspires you to help move the post-release success needle for currently / formerly incarcerated individuals, I highly recommend #DefyVentures (not part of this story), as my days volunteering with them are incredibly moving. I'm happy to share my experiences with anybody interested.

Having directly seen #DefyVentures' impact while volunteering for both their in-prison and out-of-prison programs, I am happy to share my numerous experiences with them and Andrew Glazier, their CEO who replaced Catherine Hoke in March 2018.

Two things will make verification useful:

1. The process for choosing Trusted Verifiers should be rigorous and transparent, and the criteria must be applied consistently.

2. Neither @bsky.app nor the #TrustedVerifiers can be allowed to sell verifications.

What if Tyler Warren is also there?

When 1 in 50 men think that they can outrun a horse - any kind of horse, much less a thoroughbred - strength dysmorohia is real... or maybe us men are just idiots?Thank you for giving us an excuse forat least part of our idiocy, @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social.

His lack of speed and the narrative around him makes me think of Laquan Treadwell. Is there any validity to that comparison?

An order ticket attached to a McDonald's bag with the order number "666" on it.

Is this order number appropriate because it was a #McDonald's order or because it was MY order? Maybe both? #numberofthedevil

This stray sock hit the floor when I grabbed a shirt off the shelf in my closet. Since I didn't have any existing stray socks, now, I'm wondering where its stray partner is.... 🤷‍♂️🤔

If I didn't have rent, food, and other bills to pay, I probably would have made different career choices, so there's no judgment coming from me.

Are there any concerns that, even without a major injury, Hunter's career could be shortened due to playing significantly more plays than the average player? Or that he could fade down the stretch of the season due to the NFL season being longer than college's?

Don't Steve and I get credit for not doing the same stupid things over and over?

Please remember that Elon sells blue checkmarks.

With how much of a crapshoot the NFL draft is, even at the top of the draft, the guy who could fail to meet ecpectations at one position and still have a credible path to becoming an All Pro at another position should be at the top of *every* team's list, right?
