  “Run for Something, the organization I ran had nearly 100,000 people sign up to run for office in the last 18 months. That's more than we had in the entirety of Trump's first term. The thing that we heard this time around that was different than Trump 1.0 was very specific frustration with the Democratic Party. With the sense that my leaders are not fighting for me, they're not showing up for me, they don't care about me, they haven't delivered for me, I am not going to wait...

  There’s a book publisher in Madison, whose books are not for sale. You have to find them a little libraries or you have to make them at their workshop. From their statement: “ Andaleeb Cartonera is a cardboard book press born in Madison WI in 2024. Our project is inspired by Latin-American cartoneras, small alternative publishers that produce low-cost, handcrafted books using recycled cardboard.” https://andaleebcartonera.com/workshops-2/ #madisonwi #littlelibrary #organize #indivisible #zin...

  The Real Facebook Oversight Board “ Mark Zuckerberg had recently announced the creation of Facebook's "Supreme Court" an oversight board designed to take content moderation to an independent court-style setup. That board addressed the wrong issue: content, which had never really been the problem.

  “So I think the earliest lesson I had in Australia was the cultural elements of how Australians win. In Australia, they are very, about everyone succeeding, that no one should achieve more than the rest. And so they actually have a phrase called the tall poppy syndrome. If a poppy gets too tall, the other poppies strangle it to pull it down because they don't want it to create shade over the other poppies. They want all of the poppies of the field to rise at the same time.” From Wo...

  For a letter grade, I would say my workplace has an okay Slack culture: B- I wish I could get paid to take care of it and improve it. That, seriously, might be my dream job. Ideas to try: 1. Use Beyond Compare to look at pairs of channels and who belongs to them 2. Find a few healthy users* and do a screenshare interview, edit it down brutally to 40 seconds each and show three of them at the next all hands meeting. #todo #slack #workplace #communication

  "McCraven and his collaborators (Jeff Parker on guitar, Marquis Hill on trumpet, longtime associate Junius Paul on bass) are more intent on an immersive experience. Fuzzy and amorphous, genres, generations, machines, masters and new kids all intertwine. Utilizing his mastery of the studio, McCraven applies a mysterious technique that gives nothing away, yet brings all this remarkable music into the light." - reviewed on KUTX FM by -Jeff McCord Listen https://intlanthem.bandc...

  “we're all on, again, the platforms are actually watching What Makes You Mad so that they can feed that to more people to make them mad. So think about how you opt out of that cycle of feeding the things that most aggravate you personally, because there's a lot of people who are currently making money off of that endless dooming cycle, and you can interrupt that with your own eyeballs.” From What's The Plan? with Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin: How to Stop American Concen...

  Speaking calmly in public: “First, I take some deep belly breaths. The breath out should take twice as long as the breath in. You only need to do 3 or 4 of these." "Second, I do my best to interact with somebody to have a conversation. It gets me focused. If it's somebody who's part of the audience, even better because I realize these are normal human beings who want to learn something from me, rather than judges who are there to evaluate." &qu...
