If you manage people, and you don't read

's newsletter... well, that's probably fine but you definitely should start. On managing teams when you don't have the relevant expertise: "The tools are getting faster but the core issue was never that you were bullshitting slowly."

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

When I first started doing the "fixer" kind of work, it didn't take long to start feeling lonely. Which was really weird. I was talking to more people than ever before. And people were most certainly grateful! But no one really understood what it was that I did and why.

one aside based on

: I once heard it touted that AI would level the field for marginalised people, by ensuring people who'd never created a pitch deck/cover letter could make one now. if VCs are no longer reading pitch decks because they're all AI, then they're going on "gut" = bias
