#Bengals QB Joe Burrow on playing on Thanksgiving: “You grow up going through Thanksgiving — you have your meals, and you sit on the couch ... watch the Lions vs. somebody, watch Matthew Stafford throw 300–400 yards with Calvin Johnson, and probably lose the game.”😂

okay so AI can literally read our minds now. a team from osaka was able to reconstruct visual images from mri scan data using stable diffusion. first row is the image presented to the test subject, second row is the reconstructed image from mri data. wild.

A lot of designers focus their energy on creating the best user experience possible. This often results in improving the experience for non paying customers (especially in freemium products) or in areas which might improve sentiment but don’t drive business outcomes.

During lectures, I switched from asking "does anyone have a question before I move on?" to telling "someone ask me a question before I move on" and it is so simple but SUCH a game changer. #AcademicTwitter

A pretty large part of managing talented people is simply about conceiving the right "why" questions and asking them those questions in words that foster psychological safety, introspection, confidence, and creativity.

1. When someone resigns, they usually have no more shits to give, so the power dynamics change. What's the worst that can happen by giving candid feedback? They fire you? But consider this: How does your company culture disincentivize people from giving meaningful feedback?

Maybe instead of teaching kids to respect flags, symbols and anthems... Let's teach them to respect justice, tolerance, diversity, and humanity.

Managing is designing. Except instead of designing products, interfaces or services, you are designing how a group of people can create something more together than apart. Which people are needed? Who should do what? How do folks collaborate? These are design questions.
