Got the X.

Gosh it feels different.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

There are a lot of people doing something that works without completely understanding why it works. I didn't realize this as a kid. I thought that to do something well you had to understand what you were doing. But in practice hardly anyone understands completely.

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

Such courage.

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

She was not wrong.

[Dr Robert Bohan @RobertBohan]

By the time Sinéad O’Connor sang this (1992) some 70,000 children had been sexually abused by Catholic priests & brothers in Ireland. The state, media, bishops, cardinals & pope had covered it up. She was scorned.

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

Yep still now ‘X’ 🤷‍♂️

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

Just popped on here for a moment.

I have a little blue birdy still.

Anyone got an X or is it just me? 😔🤣

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

[Alex Cohen @anothercohen]

I was laid off from Twitter today. I was the designer in charge of our new rebranding to X.

I learned so much in my 2.5 weeks at the company but I’m excited to see where I land next.

If you’re hiring a self taught, junior designer please DM me. Graphic design is my passion!

@elonmusk Let’s imagine this is true and that we are it.

Its galvanising.

Let’s not balls up people.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

This is my default position and I think it’s a useful assumption - because even if there is a slim chance it’s true (and we may well never know) then it should focus our collective minds on the task in hand - which is to avoid fucking it up.

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

I stand with @ProfBrianCox 👊

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

I’m advised that I shouldn’t say what I really think about this because one has to treat politicians who behave in this manner as difficult children and allow them to grandstand. But I will say that almost everyone I speak to has run out of patience. https://t.co/7RbDAzlAgY

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

I'm sorry to inform you but the fires created at startups never end and the founders who learn to thrive in this chaos go the farthest.

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

I can get behind this…my kinda thinking 👏👏👏👏

Oh and the comments about family members too….😉🤣

[Alex Lieberman @businessbarista]

Your company isn’t your family. You don’t fire family for bad performance.

The more apt analogy: a professional football team.

There’s alignment towards a shared vision.
There’s camaraderie among players.
There are subcultures within the organization (offensive line, special teams).

Underperformers are cut from the org even if they built close relationships with other players.

The CEO is the head coach.
The CRO is the offensive coordinator.
The COO/CFO is the defensive coordinator.

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

Jesus, not sure if this scares me or motivates me….

Gimme a minute 🤣🤣🤣

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

Some facts about startups:

1. 4% of SaaS startups reach $1M in ARR

2. Only 0.4% surpass $10M in ARR

This game is hard but not impossible.

So please keep going and don’t give up.

@isamutlib The financial situation is not been referenced in the prime ministers tweet.

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

@isamutlib I think he is saying…no one should get refused access to essential services based on their political views.

The question I ask since is Coutts Bank essential? 🤷‍♂️

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

@kaxuson 1/ The real skill is to know the proportions of how much is needed, when and with whom.

[Jon Stanners 👶🏼💭 @jon_stanners]

@kaxuson 0/ Everyone can be a leader. Not all have natural traits but it can learned.

Leadership is a behaviour which defines how one shows up to work, in their actions, in their qualities and in the effort towards the technical abilities or knowledge they have.

Privilige

Hard to understand privilege in the world.

Watching this video makes me understand my own better.

All I can say is that everyone is welcome here 🫶
