Just called my Congressperson and both Senators to complain that they aren't doing enough to resist Trump. Took a whole 12 minutes. Not much, but do whatever you can.

I don't want to ask this question - but here goes... With the GOP a mafia and the Dems having disappeared, is it time for a real, honest to goodness, 3rd party?

Complete truth in 3 simple sentences. "Musk and DOGE are providing a real-time management case study. Unfortunately, all of the lessons are about what not to do. The quickest way to improve your management skills is to look at what DOGE is doing, and do the complete opposite."

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

FYI, I’m cheering for Canada tonight as I only cheer for a country that respects the law.

Paying people not to work - I thought Republicans were against welfare for this very reason? Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't welfare they are against. Maybe it had something to do with color? www.businessinsider.com/cfpb-shuttin...

Key lesson on political parties: When the GOP gets mad, they decide to screw their enemies. When Dems get mad, they decide to screw their friends. In the end, the only ones who get screwed all the time are those that hate political parties. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

Want to know why I think America is past the point of no return? Because people like this still seem to think that things are working. I'm not sure if it is illusion or delusion, but until we all panic, we are in trouble. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I keep seeing news outlets saying Trump blamed DEI for the crash in DC "without providing evidence". Is that the new way of saying "lied because he is a big baby who doesn't want to actually fix anything or get blamed for anything".

2 Commanders turnovers and multiple bad calls by the refs to benefit the Eagles explains the score. Don't even bother watching the second half.

I'm looking forward to being the opposition party for the next 4 years and trumpeting every failure of this evil, moronic, and disgusting administration and all of their bootlickers. Once we tear down those MFers, we can start the work of rebuilding the country.

This is a cool stat. This is one of the reasons I love #baseball.

I'm starting to understand why the #NYGiants didn't need Barkley. He's a winner - and they have no need for that with the Giants.

Anytime I see a team lined up in shotgun on 4th and 1, I just picture @amytrask.bsky.social holding up her shoe. 👠

I’m not a “refs cheat for team x” guy, but these refs and the calls that KC are getting might make me change my mind. #NFL

Make no mistake about it: Today's tech bros will be taught in business schools for decades to come about what not to be as leaders. The case studies will be legendary. Get started #HBR.

What moron would write an article titled "How Democrats Drove Silicon Valley into Trump's Arms"? [sees byline by Ross Douthat] Now it all makes sense.

Christian Watson's dad is criticizing the Packers?! Another reason to cut Watson - avoid the headache. He has been hurt constantly - maybe they passing game could be more consistent if they could count on a certain wide receiver to actually play.

Employees are suffering because organizations don't train managers (or even select the best people to be managers). I want to change this. Take a look at my newsletter and consider subscribing open.substack.com/pub/btomcons...

I wish people would stop thinking that organizations and leaders think of them as the primary customer. They act for themselves and do the minimum to make you think they care about meeting a customer need. Algorithms are made to abuse you.

I rushed home from the airport for this. WTF #Packers?

Trump says Greenland has national security implications for the US, but will he back down now that Russia is warning him? Answer: Of course. www.thetimes.com/world/europe...
