My passions: Lightsabers, tech, books, comics, graphic novels, and the sweet sound of a Penguins goal horn. 🚨 My not-so-secret villain: #LongCovid. Still here, still nerdy! #LetsGoPens
It’s refreshing to be part of a party that can stand up for their principles. 🤦‍♂️ #Democrats

I’m curious, are you feeling the same frustration with the ongoing #YouTubeTV, #Disney, and #ESPN carriage disputes? And who do you think is the most at fault?

“While employers debate return-to-office mandates and hybrid schedules, an entire workforce is quietly disappearing. Not quitting for better opportunities. Not retiring early by choice. Leaving because their bodies can no longer meet the basic assumptions of employment.”

@alexeheath.com is starting his own publication. It was the fastest I’ve ever subscribed to anything. If you are interested in #Tech you should too.
I’m launching Sources, a new publication about the tech industry’s inside conversation, and Access, a tech interview podcast with my friend @hamburger.bsky.social.

The first issue of Sources drops tomorrow, featuring an interview with Mark Zuckerberg, which airs in full on Access this Thursday.
