Very much worth reading.
French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann responds to the White House press secretary’s attack after he suggested France should reclaim the Statue of Liberty:. “Dear Americans, since the White House press secretary is attacking me today, I wanted to tell you this:”. 1/n

This season has been amazing as an @okcthunder fan. But I feel cheated that I haven’t been able to hear @ZachLowe_NBA provide his analysis to accompany an otherwise magical season.

Tolerance for lengthy disagreement and debate as a leadership skill.
At Amazon, Jeff Bezos told us to "not compromise for the sake of social cohesion." I saw him tolerate lengthy, exhausting arguments as a result. When I was a director, my VP constantly argued with Jeff and refused to back down.

Freedom requires a frame. Distributing authority is more likely when there are clear boundaries around what authority workers can exercise.
By adopting a learning orientation and embracing the complexity of the process, organisations can ensure the long-term success of a transition to new power dynamics.

This was a fun conversation about my research on how organizations can distribute decision making and authority given all the forces pushing against it. If interested in these topics, have a listen!.

This is amazing.
Vamos, @RafaelNadal!. As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional. Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I.

Brian Chesky’s point shouldn’t be controversial. There are way too many 1-on-1s in most orgs and they lead to informational siloes, misunderstandings and coordination loss. Effective group meetings are an antidote.
HR people everywhere are losing their shit. “I don't believe in 1-on-1s and almost no great CEO in history has ever done 1-on-1s.". Brian Chesky out here throwing 💣s

This piece on ramanujan’s continued influence in contemporary mathematics is so good and reminds me why I fell in love with math and number theory way back in high school.
Srinivasa Ramanujan embodies the myth of the self-taught genius. He often said that his equations had been bestowed on him by the gods. More than a century after his premature death, his divine insights are inspiring new results. @jordanacep reports:

Also a beautiful articulation of saying no to things that don’t have urgent meaning so you can yes to things that do.
Spielberg wanted Daniel Day-Lewis to star in LINCOLN but after reading the script, DDL sent a letter saying no, so Spielberg had the script rewritten until he said yes. This is the rejection letter Day-Lewis sent Spielberg.

A nice summary (with citations!).
Why don't Republican negative points vs Harris-Walz - some of them even approximately true! - do more damage? . The problem Republicans have is that every election is a compare and contrast. And they overwhelmingly renominated a candidate who . entered politics by.
