This episode is sooo good. I was 8 or 9 when “Rosanna” came out, and even then the awesomeness of this song’s depth was clear to me.
Strong Songs Season Eight is now underway! The season premiere is about “Rosanna” by Toto.

This episode was incredibly fun to make - what a band, and what a great song. (And what a pair of guitar solos??) I hope you enjoy it. 🎶
S08E01 - "Rosanna" by Toto
Kirk kicks off Strong Songs Season Eight with a second helping of Toto, whose song "Africa" got the very first episode of Strong Songs he ever made. This time around he's focusing on 1982's "Rosanna,"...

MASH is one of the greatest shows ever made. It centers a group of highly skilled people who are scared to be there, who hate the war that is happening there, and who will do their damnedest to help every single person they can for so long as they're suck there.
i cannot tell you how often i think back to MASH when writing. that ability to walk the line between humor and the darkest of humanity, yet never truly cross over into making light of it OR hopelessness--even though it toys with those things, too--is the line i strive for

This piece features some good quotes from thoughtful people - I love how both Miranda Sawyer and Jad Abumrad approach the question

AI PRs where the author doesn't have an understanding of the system shift the burden of understanding onto the reviewer.

So now it's on the reviewer to gain an understanding of this area to either confirm or refute. The author saved time at the expense of the reviewer.

I came for more Mamdani and stayed at the incredible exposition on principles in the middle.

I wish I could write like this.
Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...
The Extraordinary Power of Standing For Something
Winning by creating vision in the positive space of shared standards, and expertly negotiating the negative space of shame.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED
