Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

60 years ago today, Star Trek asked us to imagine humanity becoming something better. Not perfect. Better. More curious. More compassionate. More willing to seek understanding instead of fear difference. Six decades later, I'm still happily along for the ride. 🖖 #StarTrekDay

Pearson Education (aka New Riders) is taking 88% and 90% of my Anthropic settlement money for Designing for Interaction. O'Reilly is taking 50% for Microinteractions and Designing Gestural Interfaces. So for four books, instead of $12,000, I will get $3660.

We've lost journalist Gloria Steinem. She once infiltrated the Playboy club as a bunny and exposed their unfair working conditions. When DC took Wonder Woman's powers and costume away, she wrote an article to shamed them into restoring the character. RIP Legend

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

you can build a bunker for you and your retainers & you can hoard your power & fame, you can worship nothing but ambition or status and stand by while people you might be able to help--in big ways or small ways--go without. Or you can be Dolly. All these things are choices. She made good ones.

So many tech people seem to see the conflict between parenting and work as one in which work is the natural and moral victor. If you’re going to automate an aspect of your life, why wouldn’t it be the meetings rather than the spending quality time with your teenager?!
