Jeff Bezos: "If I do my job right, the value to society and civilization from my for-profit companies will be much, much larger than the good that I do with my charitable giving."

Just a reminder nearly 24 hours after BYU’s biggest win. This guy won the game with his Oline. Zero sacks, only 3 TFLs, out rushed Notre Dame and did it with a True Freshman at ROT. Take your hat off as you look at his picture and buy his Diet Coke if you see him on the streets.

Damn must suck for BYU fans to find out their QB wanted to go to Notre Dame but settled for BYU cause ND didnt offer him.

I’m hear to announce that this Tuesday’s The Cut will be screened exclusively at the Vineyard IMAX @broweranna @tysonhutchins

Not a single team stayed put in this week’s AP Top 25. Miami is No. 1 for the first time since 2002 and BYU climbs to No. 2 after a historic weekend of upsets. See where your team landed: apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-col…

Confession: I want BYU to beat ND, but I don’t think they will. And I don’t think it’s going to be particularly close. ND wins 34-7 I imagine I’ll get a lot of backlash from this, but BYU has not shown well against deep rosters. Nor have our coaches shown well against superior coaching staff. BYU just isn’t on the same level as ND. And that’s ok

Objectively, Mormons are not Christians. They mean entirely different things when they say "God" and "Jesus". However, no matter how mistaken they are, we hope and pray that God has mercy on them and leads them to the truth.

I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious. Is it possible for me to will BYU to play harder and to get a W over ND? Probably not, but I’d rather not take that chance. So every day this week I’m putting in extra time in the gym to give our boys in blue some good vibes.

Okay. Time to brag. What is your best golf score?

By 2018, you have a million. > At 15, you're making so much money that you later claim to have $400,000 in a Robinhood account. > You trade options. Turn $400,000 into $800,000.

You figure out that having millions of followers is a pretty effective customer acquisition strategy. You later claim one client generated nearly $1 million in a single month. > By 2023, your YouTube channel crosses 10 million subscribers. > You expand into livestreaming, sponsorships, merchandise, and increasingly elaborate publicity stunts. > You become very good at monetizing attention. > In 2024, you're reportedly renting a South Florida mansion for $55,000 a month. That's $660,000 a year in rent. > You drive a McLaren that reportedly cost $202,850.10. > You crash it while livestreaming in the rain. Kick bans your account. You reportedly give $10,000 to a bystander who helped rescue you. > Naturally, the footage goes viral. > Around this time, a sponsor also funds a birthday event that you say cost $400,000. Roughly $200,000 for rapper Lil Baby to perform and another $200,000 for the party. > Not bad for a business that started with a marker. > By 2026, you have more than 15 million YouTube subscribers and billions of lifetime views. > You venture further into cryptocurrency. > In September, a memecoin associated with your name, $JACK, reportedly reaches a $6.68 million market capitalization before collapsing roughly 98%. > You return to looking for sponsorships. > Enter Shuffle.com, a crypto casino. > Unlike most brands, which pay influencers to promote their products, Shuffle publicly offers to pay you to shut up. > You apparently take them up on the offer. > You sign a contract. > You do not read the contract. > According to your own account, the agreement contains a provision prohibiting you from posting online for six months. > You thought it was a joke. > It was not, according to the casino. > You announce this unfortunate development to your millions of followers. > By posting online. > Your lawyers begin trying to get the agreement scrapped. > Shuffle's founder confirms the six-month term and announces that the money was well spent getting you off the internet. He says the company intends to stand firm. > The actual amount Shuffle paid you remains undisclosed. So does the complete contract, meaning its ultimate enforceability is an open question. > But the business model is fascinating. > For nearly a decade, you've built an empire convincing companies that your ability to speak to millions of people is worth paying for. > Then, at 23 years old, you find a company willing to pay you for the exact opposite. And even if your lawyers eventually get you out of the agreement, Shuffle has already generated an extraordinary amount of free publicity!
