Such a needlessly angry take... The rise of multi-hyphenated careers is a wholesome trend & multi-hyphenated professionals make for fun people to work with. I'm grateful we don't have to stick to one linear pathway anymore.

@_TristanKenneth @cjc Product owner needs “product sense”, deep affinity for users and their concerns, eventually some level of domain knowledge, etc. Expediter needs internal political capital, good understanding of aims of org (not coextensive with product), cross-functional understanding, etc.

Can we please stop with this whole “it’s not working if you love what you do” stuff?

Trump has successfully gaslighted half a country into a false understanding of what socialism is. (Note: this Tweet is not in support of socialism).

“Calmly,” lol. Also, results changing over the course of days with new data coming in ≠ “irregularities”
It should not be partisan to suggest calmly that investigations occur and the court process plays out. Americans need to be sure of the winner and loser. The winners should especially want that.

It’s really not a partisan issue to be anti-Trump. At this point, it’s a human issue. I’m happy to stumble across pages like this.
It’s ok to be a conservative Republican and vote for Joe Biden. Republican Senator @BenSasse explains why we must end the Trump presidency. 🎥:@RVAT2020

This means that almost 30% of the adults in the county (~3.4m adult pop) have voted early so far. Let’s keep it up!
BREAKING: Harris County voters have logged 1,000,000 votes so far. That is especially amazing because we still have a week of early vote left to go. We’ve officially broken total early vote turnout records today. Keep making history, y’all.

Why is this not a higher-priority issue?
The Duopoly I would shut down in a nanosecond ? The Democratic and Republican Parties. Together they are the definition of anti-competitive collusion that has been successful shutting out competition in a manner that is detrimental to the American People every minute of every day

This has been haunting me for six days. Big corps convinced us that "personal responsibility" was the problem, when it was ALWAYS them and the insane climate externalities we allow them to legally get away with.
Just a reminder that BP created and popularized the idea of individuals having a “carbon footprint” to make us forget that 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global CO2 emissions

It’s not even like it’s a new idea. I’m just forever amazed that this idea that you have to sacrifice your relationships persists.

This is the definition of a false dichotomy. And an especially toxic one at that!

Apple released these computers about 20 years apart. Think about all of the meetings, the tens of thousands of people, the billions of dollars spent to get from A to B. Even if you're amazing, innovation is tough.
