A good visual on how taxes are avoided. It's not a bug, it's a feature. (I recommend reading the entire NYT piece--it's a great explainer).

This is what a one-time 5% tax spread out over 5 years would look like and how it would "dent" their wealth. Each black dot = $100 million. The wealth is honestly hard to comprehend. E.g., Larry Page's wealth is larger than the annual GDP of: * New Zealand * Hungary * Qatar * Finland & many more

JetBlue is claiming they’ve left but the plane hasn’t even finished boarding. I wonder how often this happens to manipulate travel data.

I own a EV6 GT-line. Have done several trips from SoCal to Vegas. Range of car at 100% charge says 330+. However, that's based on drive style, terrain, etc. It needs one charge during trip to get there. I do the same on the way back but it gets better range home with more downhill. Love it!

When DJT passes and people cheer, before becoming outraged or condemning them, remember they're just mimicking his behavior.

Not gonna lie. Setting a full lineup was tough (particularly with fewer teams competing in week 1), but I got it done with $500 to spare. The @gymcastic.com Fantasy College Gymnastics League starts on Friday. You can join free here: gymcastic.com/gymcastic-20... #gymnastics #gymternet #Fantasy

Bank of America sponsoring a segment questioning a movement that granted women the ability to have their own credit cards is beyond rich.

Taking a peak at the budget that passed. Looks like they're planned to set aside $1 Billion for security for the LA 2028 Olympics.

“Courage is never required from a position of comfort.” @saltocoach.bsky.social and I we’re very painstaking with every word in the book, but this is one of my favorite lines. It feels very appropriate today. Do you have a favorite line that resonates with you? #gymnastics #leadership #courage

One of the most powerful things The Balance offers is perspective. Simone experienced it and Aimee is able to share what instilling perspective looks like through her own journey. The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles is available everywhere books are sold a.co/d/9b50AD2

I love the story @saltocoach.bsky.social tells in the book around this quote. It's an incident when Simone and Aimee weren't on the same page during practice. It's another example of doing it differently. Out Next Week! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-balanc... #booksky #gymnastics #gymternet
