All these social media companies keep reaching for the holy grail of turning their app into the "everything app". It's impossible. People actually appreciate context and compartmentalization. And also we already have an everything app. It's called a web browser.

Hey VA friends: a reminder to always ask (politely and professionally) if something feels off.
Got about 1/3 of the way through recording for a project & noticed retake dates hadn't been booked. I asked the engineer when he'd like to book something and my stomach DROPPED.

I want to slow this discourse down for a moment and be very clear and deliberate about why Armstromg's history of cheating in cycling is important and relevant here, beyond a cheap gotcha. (thread)

A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.

@ethanhein Hands up, feet down. Stems down for everything but cymbals can get confusing if you have floor tom parts and kick drum (or double kick) close to each other, which is quite common.

@Komaniecki_R I learned with la based minor and it helped me internalize major and minor tonality in a way that made more intuitive sense than fixed do, which I was taught later on.

Other than getting to work with creative geniuses who I respect and admire (Neil & Craig) the thing that excited me most about doing #TheLastOfUs is that my casting suggested the possibility of a future in which people start listening to the person with the best ideas

To all my friends from the foreign press: Peruvian protests.
Dina Boluarte is a rat. She has 56 days as president, but has killed 57 protesters so far. More than one per day. The Lionel Messi of political violence.
But the police... have you seen PERUVIAN POLICE?

People point to issues in Harry Potter like Cho Chang’s name or antisemetic tropes for goblins as signs that Rowling is bad. But to me, while those are worth criticism; the bigger issue is Rowling’s lack of desire to hear critique. Artist screw up; great artists grow up.

I'm reading The First 90 Days and I'm horrified by some of the advice...

First the author says that as a new manager you should come in and quickly assess the performance of your new team, so you can quickly remove the low-performers and bring in A-performers.

Reading Octavia Butler’s affirmations is always inspiring. It is okay to want your flowers, all the success and accolades that come with being a writer. To want it does not make you any less pure or noble. I, for one, want it all.
