ESPN hasn’t been the same since the passing of Stuart Scott. He was the heart and soul of the network.
Stuart Scott would have celebrated his 55th birthday today. Take a look back at some of his most memorable "This is SportsCenter" moments.

@ClownWorld_ @KamalaHarris No. His focus is definitely not on national security or the economic growth. A clown pfp seems like the right choice for you.

Wen I was 10 I learned the basics of coding. Wen I was 19 I started a VR lab at my school. Wen I hit 30 I cofounded & scaled a mobile payments startup, that was acquired. Never in life have I been as xcited about technology as I am now. #Blockchain + #NFTart = paradigm shift.

@CraigRozniecki You forgot the most important data point: Number of times they launched an insurrection and tried to topple our democracy. Does the U.S. value anything more than our democracy?.

@krassenstein As much as I’m ecstatic about the indictment, showing a zero next to Hillary is not a good look. Her hands are not clean. In fact, I blame her for Trump getting elected in the first place.

Some of the proudest moments of my life:.- marrying my wife.- birth of my kids.- getting hired at NIKE.- joining the @PeskyPenguinNFT Alien DAO. It's more than just a #NewProfilePic it's a diamond handed commitment to an attitude and a way of life w/ an A+ community about to 🚀

The way @apekidsclub and @tfgmykl are handling the minting errors that happened today is showing love for their community. The team is not only willing to be accountable for mistakes, but also go above and beyond to fix it 💪

** THANK YOU! **. I'd like to genuinely thank everyone who bid on my Design for Good auction. We raised enough $$ to provide 7,500 meals through @FeedingAmerica + @TheGivingBlock this holiday season. Even 1 SOL can make a difference. 🙏.

The @TheCavemenClub community has been saying their community is strong. Most projects do. But they’ve backed it up. I’ve seen nothing short of a solid group of ppl who care deeply about their team. Time to dive deeper!.

Why NEAR? a 🧵. 1/ If you are into NFTs you may know about Eth and Sol but there's another blockchain growing in popularity. NEAR is a fast growing user-friendly sharded L1 chain that uses PoS (Proof of Stake) which is a low cost way to transact.

imo 2022 will see the rise of 1/1 NFT artists. If you are an artist (no collections pls) drop a pic of your art + link to your listing 👇🏽. Wld love to see some art sold on this thread.

When I was a designer at NIKE I used to collect vintage pins b/c they are universal and fun. In early 2022, I'll be launching @PinClubFamily featuring 1,111 randomly generated pins that I've designed that will come with real world benefits. Here's a sneak peek:

@davidplouffe You know what no one is talking about is this choice isn't between two individuals, it's between two administrations. We make so much about Kamala vs. Donald but we're choosing the team they build around them. I wish there would be more mention of the entire Trump.

1/ 🧵 NEAR Protocol ⋈ is a Layer 1 growing (or exploding) in popularity. Is it the next Solana or is it the next Ethereum? VC’s are pumping money into it and new projects are popping up everywhere.

@Jessewelle Yes. I’m voting for her. Can you share some data from a credible source that shows she ‘was the worst Vice President of all time’. I’d be curious to see proof.

This is the VERY FIRST @oregonfootball helmet and FIRST jersey created with the 'new' brand circa 1998. We had just figured out how to formulate the paint so it was safe to use on helmet material. At this point maybe I need to donate these to a college football museum or
