My tweets/retweets are: - sometimes personal opinion - sometimes just an interesting point for others to consider/discuss/engage on and not my personal opinion - never a reflection of companies or other people affiliated with me (even if I work with/for them) - sometimes a point I disagree on and want to engage others/expand upon - sometimes a point I partially agree on (especially in a retweet) & would like to read others thoughts. As a reminder: - I share so we all learn and grow — you literally cannot do either without discussing (particularly views you may not agree with). - I never share names of people or companies. If I’m tweeting, it could be a personal story, mentees/friends’, or one I heard with identifiers removed so we can all learn from it. If I’m tweeting about a work experience, I always mask company names/roles/time periods to either all blend together or to seem like a different company. If you wonder on any of the above (for anyone), you should ask.

A library in Edinburgh, UK 🇬🇧

Horses deployed on 8th Ave

When I visited a Montessori school years ago they had artwork at adult height and a smaller version beneath at children’s height. “The children learn at their level” I was told

When a person becomes wise, the first thing they give up is showing off.

Let’s hear it for New York 🎶

Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to get a hotel in Times Square, during the World Cup and the NBA Finals.

FINALLY museums giving the people what they want: reproductions of the artifacts

three days ago, mind you

Another strong milestone for #SAFE🇪🇺 and European security — we just signed SAFE agreement with Greece. It will help 🇬🇷 enhance its defence capabilities in the Mediterranean region through investments in strategic surveillance, secure communications & counter-drone technologies.

A family farm donated 87 acres of land to the city of Taylor, Texas to be made into a public park. The city sold it for $10 million to build a 135,000 square foot data center.

One of the best things my brother ever taught me: If someone tries to deadline you arbitrarily in a negotiation, the first thing you have to do is blow through the deadline. The alternative, accepting the deadline, surrenders your leverage up front. (Corollary: Don't impose arbitrary deadlines.)

It's hard to imagine, but €49K ($56k) in Italy buys you four stone buildings. 420 m² of building across the four (about 4,500 sq ft), on a 500 m² plot (about 5,400 sq ft). - a two-level apartment with cellars, a garage, and a townhouse - the other two are ruins, each with its own garden. They're in Alvito, a medieval village in southern Lazio, halfway up the hill between a hilltop castle and the old town. All of it inside a national park, ~130 km from Rome. Looks good to me.

I had two potential job candidates send me the same AI generated message. Like it was exactly the same. Wild times.

The only person who should be able to offend you, is you. Because you’re the only one who really knows you. Everyone else is shouting at a character they made up in their head with 99% filled in with projections from their own life.

Totally insane that there isn’t a dedicated bus lane for this. They do that on weekday rush-hours for commuter buses. Why couldn’t they do this for World Cup buses for the duration of that event?

Good news story: A woman and her son were running late at Penn Station New York and missed the last train to the stadium. She was visibly upset and in tears after realizing they would miss the event.

I’m standing on business when I say this: If anyone ever comes into your workplace and asks for a coworker’s shift times, do not tell them. You have no idea who is asking. I always say, “I’m sorry, but I’m not at liberty to disclose that information.” Protect your coworkers.
