I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter. So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out) (long 🧵)

If you haven’t seen Severance, go watch Severance. World-class sci-fi thriller, and one of the best shows I’ve seen in years.

Fairly wild that the team with the worst COVID outbreak in the league is just like “sure yeah bring in the unvaccinated guy specifically to travel in close proximity with everyone.”

It's Friday, which means it's weekend soon. But then it becomes Monday, and you're going back to work—and I think you should consider coming to work with us, the nice design team at @joinHandshake. We wrote a little about what that is like: creative-comb-771.notion.site/Design-at-Hand…

In Europe they kept public schools open, in the US, driven by special interests and irrational risk benefit analysis, we closed them The harms will take decades to see and the decision will be universally considered a blunder nytimes.com/2021/08/07/us/…

Very interesting! The fine folks at Handshake found that students of color prefer virtual career events — less stress, fewer snap judgements → bit.ly/HNT21-TCT

I’m starting to look at what is next for me. Looking for a CTO or technical leader role somewhere that has good humans, interesting problems and needs help scaling. Hit me up for a coffee or video call 📞 ☕️🦙

LA FRIENDS: if you’re willing to make the drive we got a hot tip that CSU Bakersfield has WAYYY too many doses at their vax site and is letting anyone and everyone come get jabbed no appointments or requirements necessary. We were in and out in under an hour.

For the past 9 months the finger has been pointed at Trump. For good reason. But this isn’t Trump. This is CA - the 6th largest economy in the world - with a complete lack of leadership (French Laundry?) + zero coherent plan when it comes to small business and our schools. 🤬
