I thought democracy was about the government representing the people. But neither Republicans nor Democrats do. If fact I'm tired of hearing what either of them say, it's just #boomers being scared of each other. We need better conversations; many political parties.

It was a mistake to think of Post-Modernism as a description of reality. It was always an epistemological theory describing how we experience reality.

@landongn Because it's important to measure where we thought we were going and it's difference from where we are now. Helps us realize how wrong we are now.

Playing with most of the AI Image Generators ... I understand why the term "Hallucination" is used. Whether the model is creating text or images... they still interpret reality in the same way as Kafka and Dali. Which, mind you, is pretty cool. Pattern recognition.

Don't be afraid to punch a friend in the face. Don't be afraid to give them a hug when they do the same to you. We are all wrong and we are all right. It's our relationships which shape us. Choosing the relationships which make us better at what we are, is what matters.

I do not appreciate that filing my taxes is a profit center for a strip mine which views my property as a natural resource. BTW I don't mind paying taxes, I just hate the "upsell" and fee at every step along the way.

What is the difference between equity and equality? We didn't know. Bernie Sanders didn't know. Nobody knows. So we asked linguistics professor @JohnHMcWhorter about this "wormy" word.

I'm seeing a trend of people moving to tier 2 cities like Austin, Nashville, and San Diego and away from tier 1 cities like LA and NYC.

You move to tier 2 cities to live a better life.

You move to tier 1 cities to learn and grow.

But you don't have to choose between the two 👇🏼

Pros of tier 2 cities are pretty apparent: More affordable, less crowded, friendlier people, and great weather.

The cons of tier 2 cities?

Less talent density. Less diversity. Less good ideas.

Tier 1 cities like LA, SF, and New York are hubs of talented, smart, educated people.

There's maybe a dozen cities in the world that has tens of billion-dollar companies, multiple top Universities, and thousands of artists.

They are also crowded, really expensive, and just overall harder places to live.

The ideal living situation is to split time between the hotbed of ideas and talent in a tier 1 city and the quiet high quality life of a tier 2 city.

Between coffee mode (hustle and grind) and beer mode (thought and creativity).

You gotta move, but you also gotta take time to sit and reflect.

A healthy mix between the two is the most ideal.

The next time a recruiter talks to you about how a company values Stakeholders vs Shareholders. Ask them about the percentages of stakeholders and shareholders who they let go in 2020-2023, or 2008, or 2000.

@MadeOfMonsters Remove irrelevant skills. Any hiring manager worth their salt sees resume stuffing and trashes it. I'd also note I threw out a few resumes this week because they didn't exhibit DRY principles. Don't have a DRY resume probably can't produce DRY code.

Those of us who can harness AI think that doing so makes us better than those who can't. But the real Truth is, it makes us more fragile.

Every time a CEO apologizes for laying off 10% of their workforce you should ask them how much of their Salary and Bonuses they gave up to stop that from happening.

Just deleted a tweet that I hope got @Shopify attention. If not they definitely need to revisit their investments in security and social listening. But they believe this isn't their problem so here. Have fun. You can deface most any @shopify store.

1. One in five US workers is bound by a noncompete clause, which restricts them from freely switching jobs, lowering wages and undermining fair competition.

Today @FTC proposed a rule to prohibit firms from imposing noncompete clauses on their workers.

Good to see calls for the re-birth of RSS. It started disappearing when the internet was gobbled up by private interests trying to centralize the web. Distribution, decentralization, and openness are essential to the web. Hopefully interest in FOAF and ActivityPub also climb.
