When you're feeling overwhelmed as a leader, as yourself:
“What’s the most I can do with what I have right now?”
This question re-focuses our energy on what we are in control of, and helps us build confidence in the steps we can take.
We're in control more than we think.

Just realized that if Levi Strauss and The Earl of Sandwich had switched ideas, everyone would eat Levi’s and wear sandwiches AND IT WOULD BE NORMAL AND EVERYONE WOULD BE FINE WITH IT.

So...Mammals normally store fat under the skin in an even layer, but camels evolved to pile fat in one spot, so the rest of their bodies can stay cool in the desert.
Why don't other desert animals do this?
Well, they do.... but for some reason, we never talk about them..... 🧵🧵

Τώρα που τελείωσαν οι εκλογές,να πω κι ένα άσχετο αλλά σχετικό. Πρέπει κάποια στιγμή να τελειώνει αυτή η ιστορία του "αλλού μένω- αλλού ψηφίζω".
Στη Γερμανία, λχ, όταν μετακομίσεις είναι υποχρεωτικό μέσα σε 2 βδομάδες να δηλώσεις τον νέο τόπο κατοικίας σου στο (νεο) δήμο

If you give a company your data, there’s a fair chance they’ll eventually lose it.
🚨BREAKING: Genetics firm 23andMe confirms user data theft in a credential stuffing attack.
The hackers released 1 million lines of data targeting Ashkenazi Jews.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
More context: the company’s servers were not breached. The attackers logged in to user accounts that had simple or reused passwords, and leveraged the “DNA relatives” feature to gain more information. “The information does not appear to include actual, raw genetic data.”

There’s really only ever been one “trans debate” I’ve thought was worth having.
And it’s been done, here on French TV.
So we can all move on with our lives now please, and leave trans folks in peace.

This whole thread on pricing discrepancies in Austrian groceries is crazy and really solidifies the idea that companies are getting more sophisticated (& perhaps more nefarious) about pricing strategies.

17 years ago we set out to bring the power of Python to spreadsheet users. Sadly, it didn't work out, so we pivoted to @pythonanywhere, which did well and was acquired by @anacondainc last year. And now, bringing the story full circle, is this amazing news :-)
We’re excited to unveil Python in Excel! Get ready for a whole new way to execute advanced analytics capabilities from within Excel 🐍 + 📊 = 💚
Check out the new integration btwn @anacondainc & @msexcel, @Microsoft365 here 👇

Aerial reconnaissance photographs taken by US Army planes show Hiroshima before (left) and after (right) yesterday's bombing. A team of Japanese atomic physicists have now travelled to Hiroshima, confirming that it was hit by a nuclear weapon.

B-29 Superfortress bomber Enola Gay- named after pilot Colonel Paul Tibbets's mother- has taken off from Tinian island, carrying a nuclear bomb. She's followed by observer planes Necessary Evil & Great Artiste. Weather clear over primary target: Japanese city of Hiroshima.
