Just saw my first @gsvalkyries.bsky.social game, and it was packed! @chasecenter.bsky.social is known as Ballhalla when the Valks are in the house, and they put on a show last night with a 27-point win over Seattle. Looks like the Bay is embracing its new #wnba team!

What a trip! We’re one year out from the Winter #Olympics in #Italy, and I got to visit Milan and Cortina as they get ready. I saw the Dolomites, toured Olympic venues, interviewed medalists and hopefuls, and met NBC journalists including the Today Show’s Craig Melvin. Can’t wait to go back!

This is Lola. She really is a showgirl! By our 4th take, she was looking right at the camera. She’s one of the Humane Society of Silicon Valley puppies you can bring home for no adoption fee as they rebuild after a fire. Two others got new homes for Christmas!

In short, fewer chickens laying eggs creates a supply shortage, and that’s been driving prices up. When will they come down again? Perhaps when livestock can be effectively vaccinated against the latest strain of bird flu. 💉🐔🐮

Once upon a time, Bitcoin was gaining momentum as an actual currency — a digital, untraceable one. But now, it’s more valuable as an investment — albeit a highly volatile, speculative one. Could cryptocurrency become easier to spend like cash one day? If so, investors could cash in.
