Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

Gilbert's urn says, "Gilbert Hortman, a good boy" and there was an honor guard of golden retrievers from the service dog organization he flunked out of. I'm just so sad. They should all still be here.

This @cwodtke.bsky.social piece is great — technically fluent, well-sourced, doesn’t mince words about the lies & bullshit from the companies making this stuff. I’m not personally as conciliatory about some of the capabilities promised, but it’s well worth a read. cwodtke.medium.com/i-love-gener...

My favorite moment of the tour was when someone held up their cat to the assembled crowd and told us its name, and everyone spontaneously murmured the name back in unison like they were in thrall to a newly anointed god. 10/10 no notes.

Senator Gillibrand called on Al Franken to resign. I think she should resign for falsely smearing Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist. He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

Twin Citians: we're under a heat advisory for the next two days. The heat + humidity will be NO joke. Please stay in A/C and out of the sun if you can! Please drink lots of water, preferably w/electrolytes! Be VERY careful w/ alcohol intake, as that will dehydrate you quickly! I love you, stay safe

I did not like the physical therapist I saw today, who talked to me like it was my first day in a gym ever. "Do you know what a superset is?" Bitch I could deadlift you. Easily.

Like two or three months ago (maybe longer what is time) I learned Skechers makes roller skates. They're just Skechers sneakers with a metal plate with the wheels attached. I don't know how. Glued? Stapled? This has lived rent free in my head ever since.

I wish more leaders understood that frequently canceling your 1:1 with your direct reports in favor of your own "heads down" time sends the message that they do not matter to you at all. Especially after the direct has had a significant Life Event and could use support.

Seeing the studies come in showing clear evidence of intellectual and moral deskilling from AI cognitive automation, a phenomenon that I predicted ten years ago, feels like shit. It was so utterly foreseeable, and avoidable, yet here we are throwing ourselves off the capability cliff like lemmings.
