I genuinely think @mrnikli.bsky.social may be one of the best business writers in history, and “Brainwash An Executive Today!” is one of the best written and insightful and funny business pieces of all time. A must read. Execs can be really stupid!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

I can't recommend this essay enough: "Ultimately, thinking historically is about asking better, more probing questions. It is a disciplined curiosity that fosters an appreciation for the complex interplay of individual agency, structural forces and pure chance." www.noemamag.com/the-lost-art...
The Lost Art Of Thinking Historically | NOEMA
To understand the world today, we must see it as actors of the past did: through a foggy windshield, not a rearview mirror, facing a future of radical uncertainty.

I’m glad the New York Times profiled Hasan Piker, but calling his use of the word genocide to describe Gaza ‘extreme’ is insane. Some of Israel’s top Holocaust scholars are calling it a genocide as are Amnesty & Human Rights Watch. Absurd from NYT.

Hasan Piker: A Progressive Mind in a MAGA Body
Hasan Piker pumps iron, likes weapons and wears pearls. His brand of masculinity has won him many fans online — and has been a useful vehicle for his politics.

RFK Jr. is literally just a member of the Thorm family from Baldurs Gate 3. Just out here doing necromancy, stitching other people's body parts together, experimenting on animals. Someone needs to charisma check his ass.

Alot of the Japanese staff that worked on a majority of Rankin Bass productions deserve as much appreciation, if not more so than Rankin Bass.
Aside from Tadahito Mochinaga there's Minoru Nishida, Tsuguyuki Kubo, Hiroshi Tabata, Koichi Oikawa, Katsuhito Akiyama etc.

Céline Laguarde’s (1873-1961) work was recently rediscovered as part of the pictorialist movement, the first artistic one in the history of photography.
She was one of the major figures of the French branch of this international movement at the start of the 20th century.

Seriously, your editor should be an ally. Especially if they are an editor you are hiring yourself for self-pub.
SO MANY questions for new writers are basically "how do you defend yourself against the editor" OR "how do you drop your defenses and let the editor beat the crap out of you without resistance" and: let's go with no, both of those things no, you and the editor are dance partners, not adversaries.

I'm working on a style guide for the New York Times on avoiding euphemisms and carelessness. So far, I have "lacking evidence," "racially charged," and "so far." Help me come up with many more?
