Reading End Times Fascism by @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @astra.bsky.social and I’ve just come across the stat about 4 in 10 U.S. adults believing that the end times are upon us. My question for #InternalCommunications and #EmployeeExperience and #HumanResources pros:

Claude making you log in to the exact platform where you purchased your Pro plan in order to cancel it pretty much captures everything I hate about Claude right now.

As somebody who grew up during the era in which there was a massive public push to reduce teen pregnancy, it’s absolutely wild to me to see people on Fox News now complaining that not enough teens are getting pregnant.

I clipped this. It’s worth listening to in full. I’m thrilled Bouie brought up polls about maintained support for DEI from 2025. I’m looking at Pew polling about BLM from the same time frame and triple checked it because public support also hasnt declined to the degree some discourse would suggest

I'm sure this take has been took already but it's worth saying: the obscene, cynical performance of "It's about being against plagiarism" re Arday is absurd when the entire academic superstructure is being reorganised around mandating plagiarism using advanced plagiarism automation software

Watched Lewis Lapham’s The American Ruling Class on Criterion last night and now I feel compelled to quit my business and write the definitive oral history of its production. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Also, found what the lead actors were up to on LinkedIn. Quite the coda.

“In other words, corporate leadership is starting from the premise that AI has (or will) radically change the business, and they're working backwards from that premise to find the evidence to support this article of faith.”

This is basically the entire underlying premise of my work. I believe society is in an active trauma response.

verifiably pre-2023 information (software, writing, imagery) is going to take on the import of low-background steel, a vital and increasingly rare resource from an era free of cataclysmic distortion

i like that Paul Simon gets big cocky with his theory that there's 50 ways to leave your lover, and then when pressed for answers he's only got like six and one of them is just "get on the bus"

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

I deeply regret reading this piece--but also feel compelled to point out that it contains this absolutely spectacular example of Both Sides-ing it. An NYT all-timer "influencers who are accused of human trafficking and rape" are "functionally equivalent" to feminists

"Heteropessimism isn’t just for women. Men like the white nationalist Nick Fuentes and the Tate brothers — influencers who are accused of human trafficking and rape — also promote a form of heteropessimism. Their basic argument is that women are not worth the time or are something to dominate and discard, that there is something wrong with them and men are better off alone. These manosphere figures are far less thoughtful and far more hateful in their wording than feminist heteropessimists, but their argument is functionally equivalent. Both groups argue that the other half is just bad. Give up, they tell us. Both are willing to let the cycle of loneliness and atomization continue."

McKinsey preparing a 12-page report on trauma-informed leadership without citing anything but its own research and framing it as how leaders can “help their organizations metabolize strain” is exactly the thing I’m concerned about when I talk about the trauma-informed industrial complex. 🧵

That there even was momentary consideration for the #WHCA going on speaks to how completely numb people in positions of power are on the inside. This Amazon telling people to keep working after a coworker collapses. This is prioritizing business continuity through natural disasters.

I wonder if this “water for me, not for thee” privilege for data centers in droughts is going to impact AI sabotage efforts that were reported recently. I cannot emphasize enough how teams leading transformation efforts must take a beat, read the room, and adjust expectations for adoption.

Salute to the headbanger kid in my 8th grade art class who one day quietly said that the best guitarist in the world wasn’t Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, or Jimmy Page. It was, in fact, he insisted, George Benson. We didn’t know what to do with this information but he was resolute.

Desperately wish there was a stronger #internalcomms space for real-time conversation. Genuinely curious if anyone else is wondering if it’s time to ask HR whether they’re planning a conscientious objector policy for AI.
