Current desire: @aoc.bsky.social / @govpritzker.illinois.gov ticket. He’d make a great VP and could focus on anti-corruption, while she focuses on harmonizing domestic and foreign policy needs from the Oval Office.

C-level to median comp remains a very, very good metric for how shitty a company is.

I went to an elite international boarding school on full scholarship, have degrees in psychology and education, am a successful founder/investor, and Horowitz Andreessen Academy sounds like a terrible idea. a16z.com/announcement...

The decision to binge Ted Lasso only while in Sri Lanka for work, far away from wife and son, may not be my finest.

Step 1 of my surgery today: sign four forms. Can I read the forms? No, because they are electronic and there is no screen. And they don’t show up in the app until after I sign them. They can print them down the hall as an “accommodation”.

Unless you want me to start putting “virtual” in front of your job title if you’re remote, stop calling them “virtual assistants”. The job is the job is the job, wherever it gets done.

I want to know the etymology of why British people say "bye" six times before they leave the call. It has a very particular pattern: "bye, bye bye, bye bye bye, *hangup*"

have ten titles on hold in Libby, with wait times varying between “Available Soon” to ~14 weeks. My social media use skyrockets when I can’t read a book on my phone. If you don’t want more rants from me, please fund the library system.

Do not call it CEO parenting. I’ve been a C for a long time, often running huge teams (currently over 500 folks) and I still do all sorts of mundane tasks, both at work and at home. Y’all can parent however you want but don’t try to pretend ignoring your kids is reflective of good leadership.

Story time! When I was a kid, I used to help my dad with the tech at work. Sometimes that meant taking the train with him to Washington to work on some of the machines up there. One night, we were on our way back down from Tacoma when our train stops - the depot in front of us is on fire.

So…I’ve been shadow banned from Reddit for the last three weeks, despite being senior mod for a very popular sub. I can mod your comments but can’t post my own, read your complaints but not respond to them, and all my content (including the FAQ) has been removed.

AI really, really doesn't understand human emotion yet.
A famous meme clip of a little boy saying I'm fine, then crying, along with AI metadata labeling it as "a little boy in a blue shirt is talking to a woman in a parking lot."

A judge at jury duty just said “the US has more jury trials than any other country in the world” as a point of pride. That’s one way to spin crime stats.
