There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Dear Democratic Leaders in Congress:
Shut it all down.
No more votes for funding, no more votes for anything.
Face the lies with the sunshine of truth, of the evidence we’re told to ignore.
No more.
Fucking lead, or fucking retire.

The world's first known org chart dates from 1855 and has the company directors at the bottom, not the top! It is drawn to represent a plant, a living organism, with the railroad lines representing branches of the organism and people as flowers, or nodes, of the plant.

Christ that's a ridiculous price for the most interesting RPG I've ever played. And those scenario collections hold a shed ton of brilliant ideas.
There is probably no adaptation like it? Its beautifully structured to generate fascinating feelings? I cannot wait to play again?

This is a great clip. Say no to the future they want.
But also actively build the future we want. Honestly, I think that's the part we're really struggling with. In the absence of our own vision to give us direction, we'll still get dragged along with whatever is happening.

Unique work is unknowable. The only way to learn is by doing. We need to minimise time to learning and value, to make the unknowable, knowable.
We need to have hypotheses and run experiments, which are safe to intelligently fail (cheap, fast, safe).

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

Once you've embraced software development as an iterative, goal-seeking process, it makes most sense to optimise your development process for LEARNING.
And that means optimising for FEEDBACK, and for ease of CHANGE.
It's the feedback loop that does the heavy lifting.
