LOL it's SUCH A THING, too, Americans are so fucked in the head by Silicon Valley tech incubator/accelerator horseshit. Everything must SCALE. Everyone must aspire to parabolic growth! But not a thought for the kinds of risks, changes, and compromises that sort of shit requires. Like, no, ew.

Nobody picks up a guitar and expects to get able to play a whole song without every practicing. And yet, most people freak out when they try learning a new business skill, expecting to instantly be good on your first go. Amazing to think how many good things we don't have because of this.

Man I do not have the mental space to follow the NYC mayor's race but it is making me SO JEALOUS of ranked choice voting. We need this so badly.

i recently got a second phone line for keeping business and personal separate, and as an afterthought wondered if there was a way to spell something out with the final 4 digits. laughing to myself that the only "real" word requires using 0 as an "o" to spell GL0P 😂

This is a longshot but putting it into the universe: What kinds of (ideally local to Philly) companies might be great sponsors for local industry mixers/meetups? Industries vary, but all are professional/career oriented, and it would be a game changer to “bundle” them for greater impact.

NEW post: sparktoro.com/blog/ai-will... When tech execs say "AI will replace 50% of jobs!" that's just marketing. And when press, media, and yes, social media users like us uncritically repeat it, we help make sure that they'll say it again.

Happy pride to me and to you and to the bisexual bats and the gay giraffes and the lesbian albatrosses, and the trans fish and everybody else. Happy pride.

Staring intently at the baby bee balm plants that sprouted from my test plot of the seed distribution project. Willing them to grow big and strong. Feed lots of critters, bee balms. We collectively distributed seed packets for 10,000 of these plots to be growing right now across Philly.

Thanks to Nick, this is now deeply embedded in my head to the tune of the theme song. And so now I give that gift to all of you. 😘

We're 10 shirts away from selling 600 of these shirts which absolutely rocks. Order goes in first thing tomorrow morning. I bet we can hit 600. Which again- oh my god. I was crossing my fingers we'd hit 100.

Did the people who decided to call AI "agents" watch The Matrix and think Hugo Weaving was playing one of the good guys?

Publishing your essay about how “fascism sneaks up on you and before you know it you’re steeped in it” on Substack is making the point much better than you intended.

I try to apply this philosophy to everything I work on - I want someone to feel like someone else gave a shit about them

I have so much admiration for Ben and Marie, and this was a joy to record and I hope that I get to make something (bigger than a podcast episode) with them someday!
