I fly United. A lot. I love United. (Really. App, website, service, etc. - 10/10, big fan.) Except for their inflight wifi, which was designed by someone who I can only imagine is compensated for how many minutes per login session fliers spend waiting to complete the 97 step login/purchase flow.

Dear Google Calendar, I would like an option to indicate that I do not know this person so that I can never see this particular modal again

screenshot of an annoying Google Calendar bug that doesn't let me indicate I don't know the sender of a calendar appointment. The only options are "Cancel" and "I know the sender" but clicking "Cancel" just ensures I'll see this pop-up again the next time I load Google Calendar

Even if you don’t believe in the ethic of “love thy neighbor,” it’s important to remember that the core goal of USAID is to use soft power (foreign aid) to complement our nation’s hard power (the U.S. military) in a shared effort to make America safer. 🧵 8/8

However, after traveling to Ethiopia and Guatemala and hearing from many experts in the field, it’s clear to me that an extremely practical way to make our world a more stable and peaceful place is to invest in modern development aid, in concert with the family of nations. 🧵 7/8

The DOGE initiative then eliminated about $8 billion more in foreign aid, and now, the White House is fighting to withhold about $5 billion more in foreign aid funding — all in the name of making our country stronger and safer. 🧵 6/8

Earlier this year, the Trump State Department announced that nearly 5,800 USAID contracts worth $54 billion were being eliminated (representing a 92% reduction of what had already been awarded to the agency) because “they were not aligned with the administration's priorities.” 🧵 5/8

I’m sharing these posts in response to President Trump’s argument — which he has used to justify dismantling USAID — that leading the fight against extreme poverty on our planet doesn’t advance an “America First” agenda. 🧵 4/8

If, like me, you embrace the universal moral tenet referred to by Christians as “love thy neighbor,” I hope that each time you vote, you remember that election results can, especially for privileged Americans, have a far greater impact on those in extreme poverty than they will ever have on you 🧵2/8

Nearly 10% of humanity (~800M people in 2025) struggles to live on less than $3 a day. It’s important for Americans to appreciate that reality — and the growing gap between the extremely poor & the extremely privileged — because, as USAID demonstrated, our nation has the power to change it. 🧵 1/8

What Extreme Poverty Looks Like

Ten percent of humanity struggles to live on under $2 a day. That, and the gap between the extremely poor and the more privileged, is important to see.

not yet ready to share publicly, but last week I got to have breakfast with one of my heroes. Someone I've admired for years, someone I hope to learn from in the years ahead. I emailed ~6 months ago asking for a meeting. He invited me to his house for breakfast. I'm still buzzing.

It's Baby Safety Month.

A baby sitting in a catapult in a suburban backyard. The baby seems surprised to be there. The text reads: Is this a safe sleep environment for your baby? No! This is a catapult! Put your baby to sleep flat on their back in a crib, bassinet, play yard, or bedside sleeper. If your baby falls asleep in a car seat or other product not designed for sleep, move them to a safe sleep space.

Looking for a laptop backpack. I tried the Wirecutter rec (the Troubador) and *really* don't like it (doesn't hold a water bottle, doesn't hold its shape, interior compartments don't organize/separate items well). Who has a laptop backpack they love? (sharing my must-haves in next post)
