I'm really getting sick of billionaires. Follow me here, hopefully we can move to a new place where hatred and anger aren't monetized and stoked by robots. https://t.co/R2ufS2W59g

I know I know!
Three major partnerships over the last four months and another big one coming. Any guesses out there? Hint: It will be built to provide more resources and benefits to our students.

In Minnesota our culture allows for pizza to be eaten for every meal, BUT there are rules: Pizza for breakfast: Gotta be cold Pizza for dinner: Gotta be hot. Cold pizza at night? Don't be a bum. Now, pizza for lunch can go two ways: Want to be productive: Cold Lazy day? Hot

Teachers and nurses, yeah we already have too many of those am I right... This is going to irreparably hurt CTE programs, which primarily house esports programs. As CTE budgets get slashed, watch esports teams close.
The US Department of Education will reclassify and no longer consider the following professional degrees: Education (incl teaching) Nursing Social work Physician assistant Occupational therapy Physical therapy Audiology Speech pathology Engineering Counseling & therapy

Funding an entire year of a high school esports program in Minnesota with 20 students, which includes a coach stipend and all league fees, costs less than two months of day care for my two children.

I'm so incredibly proud of our teams here @EsportsMnsu! In our first season in @neccgames every roster made playoffs, with 5 teams making it to the Semifinals in their respective Divisions! For Counter Strike and Siege, this is our first season supporting them in Varsity!

You can tell that toxic players in all games have very low mental. They are so unoriginal. Every one sounds the exact same. "LMAO, Stupid, actually trash, uninstall, etc" Focus your mental and you'll climb more. If you need to insult, at least be clever.

We need to work together to make sure esports is not a passing trend. I am proud to have worked on this partnership with a guy I have been working with since my first year as a coach, @CoachTylerPauly We will continue to build resources to ensure esports is here to stay.
We are incredibly excited to be partnering with the @ISEAEsports ! ISEA is a nationwide coalition operating in 25 states as they work to push forward the future of K-12 academic esports. We believe in their mission and see this as the first step in a long term partnership to

I saw a pic of the Rivals top dev and how grey his hair has gotten since the games launch. Then I remembered how presidents grey really fast due to the stress of their jobs. Guys, is esports stressful you think? (pics from first year of esports until now)

In 2019 I had 76 registrations for my MNVL (total, not unique students). So less than 76 really. This season in Fenworks we already have over 3,100 unique students competing in four states (one state yet to register) I still expect this to increase by 100-200 or more.

Gamestop added card loot boxes pretty much CSGO style only if CSGO would ship the knives directly to your door. Pretty cool idea ripped from video games and put into retail collector items. Basically same thing as opening cards. Idk if I like kids doing this tho...
Rip PSA graded cards online with @powerpacks Beta open to the public, for a limited time: https://t.co/y8qaXHanBY

This is literally the future. I wish I could afford to open one. Climate change resistant farms, indoors, more efficient, and can have insanely reduced transportation costs as they can operate near the biggest markets (cities).
America's first large-scale indoor vertical farm for strawberries is set to open in Richmond, Virginia, in early 2025. Using 30-foot towers, it produces over 4 million pounds of strawberries annually on less than an acre of land. This innovative method reduces water use by 90%,

College directors. Be wary of the future. Currently League of Legends is our smallest title in all five states I run. In Minnesota, out of close to 1000 players, we have exactly 0 LoL teams registered. Rivals and Minecraft are our biggest titles by number of players.
