This is why the Yankees should have signed the superstars who were on the market rather than waiting.
Harper 👏 and 👏 Machado 👏 were 👏 bargains 👏
I guess it's possible that Bryce Harper is disappointed that someone else will be able to swim in a somewhat larger pool of money a la Scrooge McDuck, but I think he will probably get over it.
You know who won't ever ever ever sign a $330 million dollar contract? Journalists.

My take on the Mueller report is that I don't know what the Mueller report says, and I would like to know what the Mueller report says.
I also think it's within the realm of possibility that the report is narrowly written and doesn't convey much more than Barr's summary. But also, I haven't read it, and would like to read it.
It's the final documentation of an investigation into a foreign government's effort to interfere with a U.S. presidential election. The public should be able to see it.

We shouldn't lose sight of how embarrassing it should be for CNN to have paid this man for his commentary on the economy.
CNN's model of hosting a competent, informed person alongside a hack to see who gets "destroyed" is deeply flawed.

Based on some recent comments from President Trump and Lindsey Graham and from watching large quantities of Fox News, I think Republicans are planning on making Hillary Clinton's email server a key issue in the 2020 presidential campaign. (1/many)
Background: Republicans have spent decades demonizing Clinton. In 2015/6 they pretended to care about her email security, journalists pretended to believe them, the FBI investigated and found no crimes, and she lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential election. (2/x)
As the 2020 election gears up, you might expect Republicans to be engaged in an all-out effort to define the Democratic presidential candidates. There's been some of that... but Clinton and the FBI investigation into her email server have been coming up again. (3/x)

Open thread about Netflix ($NFLX). Netflix seems to be an astonishing business but would it be able to achieve market expectations?
Below some positive (P) and negative (N) points
(no advice, just food for open discussion)
POSITIVE POINTS (P):
P.1. Netflix is a highly replicable and scalable business within a trillion-dollar industry (i.e. huge total addressable market) and it has proven to be able to globally expand and compete.
P.2. Netflix has demonstrated to be able to successfully adapt its business model (from renting DVD by mail to streaming video service) and to anticipate threats and competitive landscape’s changes (e.g. current focus on original content vs licensed one)

1/ OMG, the end of good times. No more left to do. Where’s the innovation. Shocking news from Apple on revenue, but needs some context.

Maturing or mature markets are not dead markets. The world did not change overnight even with this announcement.

This isn’t this is fine. This is fine but with a circle/slash around it.
2/ Smartphones are the first product that penetrated nearly the entire world from essentially two vendors (“google” and Apple). That itself is shocking.

It means dynamics at play are new to everyone. Predictions about future are tricky when one runs out of untapped customers.
3/ As many like @benedictevans and @asymco shown the growth in iPhone units has been slowing (to shrinking by some measures). That led to stopping the reporting of units from Apple “certainly a sign” as many noted.

1/Some quick thoughts on #Yankees reaching agreement with Tulowitzki. They thought he looked athletic and healthy in workouts and see agreement as low-risk (MLB minimum)/potential high reward. Plan is for him to play SS. If he is even league avg and provides a bridge until
2/Gregorius returns, it would be a win for the NYY considering the low cost. Obviously the big question is what does this mean for Machado. It gives the NYY a bit more leverage if they are following their planned script - to offer fewer yrs/$ than #Phillies #Whitesox are likely
3/to bid and then see if Machado follows his heart to NY (to play 3b and insurance at SS if Tulo can't physically hack it) or follows $ elsewhere. It also is possible that this takes them out of Machado and they just are not making those plans public because

Having to look at Rudy Giuliani for 9 whole innings in a pressure-filled Wild Card game is a fucking crime against humanity. #Yankees
My biggest hope is no longer a Yankee win. It's that the game doesn't go into extra innings so we don't have to look at his face for even longer.
HEY @MLB @TBSNetwork PLEASE PROVIDE WARNINGS BEFORE THAT MAN APPEARS ON SCREEN NOBODY SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO THIS

(THREAD) There are ties between former PM @stephenharper and @HouseGOP mega-donor #SheldonAdelson. 1/9
#cdnpoli
#SheldonAdelson was a driving force behind Donald Trump’s decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv and the decision to withdraw from the #IranNuclearDeal. @kenvogel says Adelson is very close to Trump2/9

The billionaire Casino magnate is a top donor to the Republicans. He pledged an additional $30 million to the GOP last week, just as the embassy was being moved and Trump bailed on the Iran Nuclear deal. 3/9
