If Donald couldn't help himself when carefully selecting his words to put together a defense, I find it hard to believe that he didn't also subject his colleagues to similarly unnecessary, offensive jokes steeped in racist tropes and stereotypes.

Donald McNeil's carefully vetted, attorney-reviewed defense of his ouster from the NYT is a whack-a-mole game of casual racism, usually delivered in the form of jokes. I caught one on the first page, and they kept going. (Hint: it's a joke about Jews and real estate)

Managers: please give your folks permission to be unproductive. This isn’t normal. The extra cognitive load is not easily pushed back.

#journorequest 6 months’ parental leave & regular unpaid time can reap rewards for firms offering progressive leave policies. Any #HR directors, VP #recruitment CEOs (not recruitment cos) from all industries & geographies, & academics, who can comment on the pros & cons?

Not feeling the contrast this week bt multiple twitter threads from podcast hosts saying they want to bring on more women (don't believe that for a minute; the women are all around you) AND hearing about a host calling a woman a "harpy" to make a point on a very popular show
I do this for basically all my web browsing. Why do people have to make their fonts so small?
finally conceding i need to look at google docs at 125% bc there will be no squinting in 2020
I’m comfortable enough with myself to say it: I like the Tesla truck and low-key want one.

You know it’s bad when someone is finally able to convince Trump to read from notes during a press conference. #TrumpPresser #ImpeachTrump
As the owner of a podcast booking agency, I like getting emails like this! We don't know your preferences until you tell us, and this is far from a universal standard. My company has worked with 100+ podcasts who love hearing from us. We keep notes on preferences like this.
I'm now getting 3-5 pitches per day from podcast PR services pitching their clients to me (who want to be in the Flippeing Podcast). Protip: unless you're mega-famous, you need to be reaching out to podcasts yourself. Here's the form letter than I'm now sending to PR firms.

Read the whole thread.
What are some things you should *NOT* do as an indie hacker?
When someone shows you who they are, believe them. It's not just trump. The whole party is morally bankrupt.
Hours after the El Paso shooting, Mitch McConnell proudly tweeted this photo. I find it so troubling that our politics have become so nasty and personal that the Senate Majority Leader thinks it's appropriate to use imagery of the death of a political opponent (me) as messaging.
