@bharniman As a Heat fan, I am thrilled but I think Jimmy (as much as I don't like him) will actually catapult GS to the conference finals. OKC better hope they don't see them early in the playoffs.

The suggestion that 2M Canadians are going to cancel US trips over tariff threats is absurd. Sure, some will protest with their wallet, but I'd wager that many of the current cancellations will rebook once cooler heads prevail @kjlagrave @TRtravels

DOJ vs RealPage is an interesting look at how algos might permit big property managers to artificially lift rents. Could this portend a look at similar practices in the hotel space? The 9th Circuit is currently looking at Vegas. @alyssafowers @dataeditor

@Gabecito @hannahbsampson @andsachs_sachs @RyanBacic Nice work here - @washingtonpost

The ranking of international travel source markets inbound US might surprise you....@skift @Phocuswright @USTravel

OK, it appears the time has come for public companies to replace "AI" with "Quantum Computing" in quarterly guidance releases and calls. Should be worth a bump, with or without a clear understanding of its impact. It does sound cool though @ArjunKharpal

Southwest on the come up, raising guidance. Elliott has made the difference or management had a plan to begin with? More importantly, will a major overhaul of customer experience still be implemented? @Lebeaucarnews @chriselliotts
