It's always fascinating to me how absolutely terrible my.dnb.com manages to make any engagement for a small business over the years. Just simply awful.

I don't know who needs to hear this but... It's a LOT harder to go through life WITH empathy, than without it.

Saw a clip of the National Guard landscaping in DC - not ‘patrolling dangerous streets’ like we were told they were so desperately needed for. Makes me wonder: how long until they’re sent to farms too, to fill the labor gaps this administration’s policies created?

It's apparently also okay to sign your name on it as long as you use a sharpie and are trying to establish a dictatorship. One year in jail for everything else, of course.

Who is the effing genius at @linkedin.com that decided to make it HARDER to click into a post by removing the link from the timestamp and hiding it in a menu? Was it just taking us away from that big investment in the algo that serves up our activity feed? And yes... you can also "get off my lawn!"

"What makes America cool is multiculturalism." America’s strength is its mix of cultures. America’s weakness is small minds that are fueled by hate, fear, and classism.

We’ve all seen #AI in #recruiting go from clunky chatbots to pretty helpful assistants and I’ve been talking with leaders in the @careerxroads.bsky.social community about what this means and why we should be planning for it now. Here’s my take on Agentic in TA. community.cxr.works/blogs/chris-...

I would like to propose that anyone talking on their phones using speaker be placed on a global no-fly list. For life.

#TalentAcquisition expet Shelia Gray joins us to talk #AI trends, #culture shifts, and how #recruiters can lead through chaos. cxr.works/podcast/navi...

Smith reflects on his career journey across multiple industries including roles at #Caterpillar, #Amazon, Kraft Heinz, and now #Medtronic. He shares how diverse #leadership experiences within #talentacquisition fuel innovation, especially when applied across sectors. cxr.works/podcast/lead...

There are changes coming that aren't in enterprise employer's best interests. Here's my take - and a form letter for #talentacquisition folks to send to the likes of Indeed and LinkedIn. community.cxr.works/blogs/chris-...

On a recent @careerxroads.bsky.social Recruiting Community Podcast, Steve White, (relatively) new head of TA Sam's Club, emphasized the importance of embedding #talentacquisition within the business framework. Check it out - pass it forward. Good stuff here, folks. cxr.works/podcast/ta-a...

Guy in my CEO group said he has a “safe” w/everything his wife would need if he died, plus a personal letter to her. I’m trying not to tear up… & then another guy says he does the same, but writes a new letter every year and just keeps adding them. All for her to read someday. Brutal. Beautiful.

There are two women so drunk at the airport bar that they have spent the last 20 minutes racking their brains to remember the name of the movie that starred Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson who traveled around crashing weddings. They are having the time of their lives waiting for their delayed plane.

Just another day in #Austin.

Way too challenging to find 4 Exos X24 24TB drives this morning. Seagate (and many others) out of stock, Newegg says I can't have more than 2... So, I guess the real question is, where are all my other home networking and NAS nerds at?!

I've said from the beginning that you should treat #AI like an "eager intern." I was wrong. Think of it more like a "helpful liar."

BREAKING: Temu’s U.S. user base shrank 58% in May - about the same rate as that unironic “vintage-style” hoodie you bought from them in April shrinks after one wash. #Temu

Know what would be AWESOME in @linkedin.com ? Penalizing authors that tag/mention you and then quickly edit to remove that tag/mention. The impact is artificially inflating views and annoying AF for those receiving the notifications. Thank you. That is all. #talentacqusition

A read receipt on an email? A READ RECEIPT?! You're dead to me.

Human, not #AI, analysts conducted dozens of interviews with CEOs & execs. 100's of hours researching traffic, revenue & new products. Trends: AI, referrals, pay-for-performance Top 50: Traffic Top 25: Revenue Top 15: Freelance directory.cxr.works/listing/adva... #talentacquisition #research

While this is a shit use of the word "plotting" for clicks, I'm not mad at the direction of this platform and how different an approach this is compared to other social channels. www.wired.com/story/big-in...

"Perplexity... will track everything... for... ads." "...leadership believes that people will accept this.. because [ads] should be significantly more relevant." Yes... because we all want MORE ads and MORE tracking. That's exactly what we want. /s #perplexity #ads #marketing #spam #bullshit

Do I watch a "lot" of movies and television? Meh... Maybe a bit. I'm such a sucker for a good story and anyone who is great at their craft.

I gotta' say, #SouthwestAirlines may have the most UNreliable in-flight wifi I've ever experienced regarding Google Workspace/Gmail. This is 4 for 4 where I can do almost anything online /except/ something in Workspace - almost like it's on purpose.

The fastest way to get reported for #spam and blocked is to send me a cold email with a subject line that starts with "Re:" when it's not an actual reply. Opened? Sure. Reported & Blocked? 100%. Every time. #EmailMarketing #marketing

Elon claimed he’d save the government $1 TRILLION by Sept. 30. Now he’s admitting his “efficiency” team is falling short — 85% short. Sure doesn’t sound like efficiency to me.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

I feel like downloading an 18GB file from a world famous hacker group is probably not wise. I'll wait.

So... #DunAndBradstreet just stole 45min of my life as I just tried to simply update my company address. A simple request that after almost an hour, two chat reps, one phone rep, THREE PICTURES of my ID, & a SELFIE I'm told it will take upwards of 16 days to update. Unless, of course, I pay them.

#gemini in #google workspace and #ai assistance in general is absurd. I ask a question, it gets halfway through a solution - then just stops helping (see pic.) That, and how #chatgpt solves something for me that it refuses to even attempt in another open tab using the exact. same. prompt.

I'm starting to think that Bill Burr is the new George Carlin. And I'm not mad about it.

I'm watching a horror movie and all I can think when someone screams is, "How can they just do that without immediately getting an epic headache?" #CertainAge
