Is twitter officially a lala company now?

Yesterday went to a football match with my boys. Used the time to talk abt playing competitively, lowering the chance of injury etc (mostly answers to their qstns). Homeschooling is more learning for me 😜 #homeschooling #football

One of my manager never used to give pep talks to boost our morale. He would say, if you are not motivated by salary, nothing else would. As a junior, thot he was foolish. Now that I hv grown I understand him. If there…

Morgan Housel wrote “Crazy comes with crazy”: Musk runs highly valuable companies like Spacex & Tesla. But he also ruins Twitter in public. He calls divers pedophile, picks fights with senators…
