Let’s make sure we remember who and why. Stop thinking this is a coincidence and start realizing the facts of who and why…
CBS News has reportedly disbanded its race and culture unit, which was formed in the wake of George Floyd's murder in 2020

NBC News eliminated its editorial teams for NBC Asian America, NBC BLK, NBC Latino and NBC OUT earlier this month

If you’re in the Baltimore area, and need to cut food costs, there’s a program run by Catholic Charities called Share Food. It’s basically a bulk buying & volunteer packing community that gets you a 50% discount on groceries. I used the Denver version for years, and never saw any proselytizing.

I just want my friends to have employment, safety, and a partner who will go to couples therapy with them. This shouldn't be a big ask.

Sorry it’s not a boat the exec has. It’s a yacht
1 - Why can’t Taco just say “sorry can’t help out with $$ but I’ll share it on socials? Why this performative apology BS nonsense?! It’s not the lieutenant governor award. Explaining makes it worse
2 - OH GOD I MISSED THE BIT ABOUT THE BOAT! Sounds like one of the execs at work
3 - i donated a bit

Sometimes, I wonder if I’m getting old/behind on embracing new technology.

Then I remember, no (at least not in this case): It’s just that AI sucks.

It’ll never be the money-maker execs want it to be, and in the process, it’s decimating industries (and the people within them) along with the planet

As someone trained in branding, there's another way that's more rewarding and more fun. The approach I'm trying to get better at👇

Happy Diwali 🪔 everyone

I am taking comfort in the light Diwali brings during the dark autumn season.

I feel a bit guilty that I've hardly done anything to celebrate, but I'm struggling a bit this year with my mental health and I am trying to be kind to myself about it.
