My pleasure!

[Revan Lazarus @RevanLazarus]

One of my better takes…

Thanks @jposhaughnessy and @nicktawil for having me on the show this week! What a phenomenal conversation.

[Liberty 💚🥃 @LibertyRPF]

Last night for family movie night, we watched 'Knives Out' (2019) with the boys. Their first murder mystery!

They loved it. My youngest had a bit of trouble following at times because it's dialogue-heavy and a pretty convoluted plot, but we paused to explain when he had questions and it was ok. My oldest just loved it and asked for my detective stories (my wife pointed him to her Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes books).

I'm not sure what murder mystery/detectve film we should watch next, though 🤔

Every mom in my family will have Dispatches from Grief this weekend. @DCrittenden1 thank you for writing this.

[Infinite Loops 🎙 @InfiniteL88ps]

On a February morning, @DCrittenden1’s world cleaved in two: the life before her daughter Miranda was found dead in her Brooklyn apartment, and the life after.

She joins Infinite Loops for a raw, unflinching conversation about grief, love, loss, and learning to live after the worst thing happens.

Her luminous memoir, Dispatches from Grief, is out now from @infinitebooks.

[Jim O'Shaughnessy @jposhaughnessy]

This is an excellent episode

[Nick Tawil @nicktawil]

@Verklempt4 @TheAtlantic I know; but this does more than beautifully and emotionally discuss a mother’s loss. It’s also instructive on how those who haven’t lost might avoid acting in a clumsy way toward the grieving. How to be a true friend to those whom you love during their darkest days.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

“Maternal grief seizes the body differently from other sorrows,” Danielle Crittenden writes. More than two years have passed, but Miranda’s absence “retains the power to hit me anew each day.” Read more from her essay on the death of her daughter: https://t.co/3wvmm1SQmG

@patrick_oshag The talent moat isn’t inverted as much as it’s being reshaped. Engineering scarcity drops in some ways but new scarce skills emerge like agent orchestration, RAG infrastructure, latency optimization, and security architecture
