Viktor Orban is currently having a coronary.
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Following @rebeccawilliams.info civictech and govtech career for years: she has an outstanding capacity to think through how tech can be in service of communities i hope @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s team sees this.
Lots of very good ideas in here for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about what it might look like to have a tech policy agenda aligned with human rights principles.
By resisting surveillance and extraction and pursuing goals such as affordability, dignity, and justice, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani can show how technology can truly serve people, writes Rebecca Williams. The first step, she says, is to protect immigrants.

I want to commit myself to this going forward. New strategy to swap from my friday afternoon linkedin fightback cycle (see my previous post where i got into it about AGI this week). This suggestion feels more aligned with what im trying to do more generally: build new options for the future
The best way to "respond" to a bad take is not to mention the original take at all. It's to make a new statement that is actually true/that you want to magnify and share that instead. Its making a new story; building a stronger and more compelling narrative.

Just realised i have a habit of picking arguments on LinkedIn on Friday afternoons about AI. By the end of the week i think i get fed up & cant resist saying something. Today, Gartner showed AGI on an AI adoption spectrum. But the fine print admits it would require technologies not even built yet!!!

I love that my work is mostly writing, and i pride myself somewhat on identifying as a "writer". But writing also physically hurts a lot of the time. It feels like molasses rolling down two sides of a hill and i am waiting for them to connect in the valley between, its excruciating.
