In Opinion

Early in Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign, “it was easy to assume that failure to learn his name reflected a failure to take him seriously,” John McWhorter writes. But “as a matter of pure linguistics, it would be surprising if people didn’t have trouble with the name Mamdani.”

Opinion | I Now Mispronounce You the Likely Next Mayor of New York City

A lot of people seem to trip over Zohran Mamdani’s name. The reason may not be as simple as it seems.

This whole Nazi tattoo dude in the Senate nonsense is revealing of a lot of white folks. Oh your friends have Nazi tattoos too? Oh it doesn't bother you at all? Oh your whole crew you been rolling with has them & y'all are all perfectly democratic? Fascinating. Taking notes.

I suppose that "Truth is blinding" is a clever enough advertising tagline for the Oedipus production newly arriving on Broadway, but "A motherfucking great play" is, come on, sitting right there. Do I have to do everything?

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

So... you're saying it accurately replicated the vibes of an average sitcom, then? 😏

Viscerally repulsive. Do not recommend. Finding this anything but profoundly disturbing should be the Voight-Kampff test.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

reading about this man and my scream rising to a higher and higher pitch

Ethan Evans went from being fired twice for poor soft skills to becoming a Vice President at Amazon, leading a team of over 800 engineers.

Former Amazon VP Ethan Evans revealed that a CEO he worked for seduced his wife in retaliation for professional disagreements, resulting in his divorce and departure from the company.

After the crisis
Lesson 4: Own the problem

My direct report volunteered to take the fall. The engineer who wrote some of the code did the same. My manager also sought to take overall responsibility. Ultimately, Bezos knew it was my team and code, meaning I had to own the problem.

Amazon has a process called COE (correction of errors), which involves a written investigation of a problem's root causes and a plan to prevent similar problems. I wrote this report and was asked to share it with all my peers in the organization. Publicly sharing an analysis of our mistakes was embarrassing, but doing a good job of it helped me reestablish trust in my leadership ability.

The week after the launch, I was scheduled to attend a meeting with Bezos about another project. I considered skipping it, but I decided that if I couldn't face Bezos, I should probably pack my desk and find a new place to work.

I kind of love the sheer number of people who have quote-skeeted this with surprise that Amazon was apparently trying to compete with Steam. 🤣

Melo @letitmelo.bsky.social · 3d

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.
