Can your nonprofit talk about voting? Yes. The 501(c)(3) rule bans campaigning, not civic engagement. New post: what's allowed, where comms teams trip up (the share button!), and a 5-question check before Nov 3. bcdodge.me/501c3-election-rules-nonprofits-voting

Hot take: AI isn't going to replace you. But someone using AI effectively? They absolutely will. The difference isn't the tech - it's the human who knows how to wield it strategically. New blog: buff.ly/CDctW31 #AI #DigitalMarketing #Strategy

I hate making political posts… but because Denmark won't sell us Greenland (which... why?), we're now going to pay MORE for European goods through tariffs? That's like keying your own car because the dealership won't sell you their showroom plant. 🤦‍♂️

@zakiscorner.bsky.social I would also add that, thanks to you and a drought of new shows, I started watching Pluribus. My wife called me weird and left the room… and about 40 minutes in, I thought, "I have seen this plot somewhere before 🤔" then I remembered.

A stressed, tired man sits in the dark with a soft blue glow from his laptop lighting his face. His brow is furrowed, and he’s sweating, one hand on his head. Scattered around him are empty energy drink cans and a wall plastered with dozens of yellow sticky notes scribbled with unreadable tasks, creating an overwhelming and chaotic atmosphere.

I built a personal operating system with ChatGPT. It tracked my hours. It cleaned up my blog drafts. It reminded me to charge my mouse. Then it helped me launch three projects and write this reflection: 📎 buff.ly/0aKioPv #ChatGPT #AI #ProductivityNerd #TimeTracking #PersonalOperatingSystem
A person with a beard and glasses grips a ship’s wheel as sticky notes fly in a stormy sky. Beside him, a smiling ChatGPT robot stands calmly, co-steering. Text above reads, “ChatGPT didn’t take over my life. It co-piloted the chaos.”A smiling ChatGPT robot gestures warmly beside an open laptop and a steaming coffee mug on a desk. A heart emoji floats nearby. Text above reads, “It’s not about optimizing everything. It’s about surviving with a little help from your algorithmic friend.”

Split-screen design showing a colorful spreadsheet on one side and a silhouette of a person meditating next to a lotus flower on the other. The text above reads, “Sometimes productivity looks like a spreadsheet. Sometimes it looks like a reminder to breathe.”A cartoon-style green ChatGPT robot holds a flashlight, illuminating a dark hallway. The text reads, “This isn’t about hustle. It’s about hacking your way back to focus—with ChatGPT holding the flashlight.”
