[The Jobfather ® 🇯🇲🇨🇦🇬🇧 @TheJobfather__]

If you would like to be part of the 63 Black Professionals we're trying to get jobs in Tech this year and you're open to a free referral to companies in our partner network or just want to stay plugged into what we’re building, submit your resume.

Doug Ford has spent more time interfering in Toronto than doing his job- being Premier. It’s time for Toronto to fight back- and have the power, autonomy & accountability to thrive. Sign our petition to begin this work now. https://t.co/d5uXgpxZYv

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the absolute state of X in January 2025. Since its acquisition by Elon Musk, this platform has rapidly transformed into his personal political tool and a breeding ground for hate speech and disinformation.

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.

The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

WSJ tweeted this to its 20 million followers and it has under 400 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “Elon Musk has secretly been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022”

@TheJobfather__ It *is* you! Great to hear you bringing your brand to the Ceeb!

"[ABC's Rachel] Scott has faced death threats for her unflinching questions [to the former U.S. President]. As the debate continues about whether it was worth inviting Trump to a convention for Black journalists, that alone seems like too high a price." https://t.co/sVSCtQLUtI

[Nana aba Duncan @Nanaaba]

Interested in giving today instead of buying?

Consider supporting student internships!

I’m raising $10K for racialized students to help launch the Mary Ann Shadd Cary Centre for Journalism and Belonging. If we reach our goal, @Carleton_U will match it!

@elonmusk I am so done with this angry platform made of sticks and chewing gum. Taking away Tweetdeck and blocking makes it easier to leave. I might come back to boost a few people every now and then, but this platform is a mess, and I will be giving it much less of my attention.

[Ian Stevens @istevens]

”The median number of followers for all 153 million accounts following Musk is just one (1) single follower.”

You read that right. With a median follower count of 1, half of Musk's followers have ZERO followers of their own.

[Ian Stevens @istevens]

The kicker: ”However, according to this latest collection of
@ElonMusk follower data, only around 453,000 Musk followers or 0.3 percent subscribe to X Premium.”

For all his influence and fanboys, he couldn't even convince 1% of them to pay $8 a month.🤦‍♂️

Please don't. I am just one of many who has been stalked, harrassed and treated terribly via social media. We need safety online to communicate and network

Yesterday I remembered two of my family's license plate numbers from 35+ years ago, but I can't recall the exact number on the license plate I received in August and that's on my car parked in my driveway right now.

[Gretchen Rubin @gretchenrubin]

Do you remember any phone numbers from your childhood? I remember the phone number of our neighbors across the street. And now – no joke – I haven’t memorized my daughters’ phone numbers.
