“On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best, most productive meeting ever, and 1 being so bad you start fantasizing that your badge holder is a garrote, and you begin practicing assassination, how would you rate this meeting?” Me: [puts down badge] why do you ask? – at San Francisco, CA

I’m obsessed today with the important question: Did @ConanOBrien write “Mr No Depth Perception” I’ve had the theme music in my head for like the last week from discernible reason.

I’m hiring for an AI role reporting to me on a team of 5 others: goo.gle/4ap2jVa

Started rewatching SVU after like 15 years of not watching. Never have I ever agreed more with a tweet.

Legit fell asleep in an all team meeting. Woken up when my boss asked me a direct question. I have such a history of giving my boss shit publicly that people thought I was just being a jackass to him. Todo: investigate this “burnout” thing that I hear people talk about.

Trying a thing:

Despite the intervening years, every once in awhile my brain fixates on the fact that the last shot of G.I. Jane implies that Viggo Mortensen’s character is somehow redeemed because he was shouting a Walt Whitman poem at the recruits he was abusing.

But I looked down and there I saw only one set of footprints.

Watching Ted Lasso 3:07 with my 15 year old… Please don’t let him ask what pegging is. Please don’t let him ask what pegging is. Please don’t let him ask what pegging is.

I know people have legit reasons for wanting Feinstein to step down, and a small group of people have been saying it for a long time… but the absolute deluge of attention to it this week feels manipulated somehow. Might still be right, but something feels fishy.

As a Dad I’ve answered a lot of questions. If you do it long enough kids come to you with questions like “do you think the priest from Romeo + Juliet acted morally?” As a middle age white dude I have molded someone who actually wants my opinion on random matters. The dream!

We as a culture tend to overuse the word “Boom” and the sentiment behind it.

Great thread here.

Still employed. But if you are wondering if you should reach out to someone who was laid off or otherwise effected, err on the side of reaching out. Having been laid off in the past, I can state with certainty - people will remember your kindness and need it.
