Collective experiment found switching profile to ‘male’ and ‘bro-coding’ text led to big increase in reach, though site denies favouring posts by men
Do your LinkedIn followers consider you a “thought leader”? Do hordes of commenters applaud your tips on how to “scale” your startup? Do recruiters slide into your DMs to “explore potential synergies”?

Can someone ask Megyn Kelly why teenagers can’t access gender affirming care because they’re “not old enough” to make that decision…
But apparently they are old enough to be raped by a bunch of pedophiles?
Just trying to understand the logic here.

While I'm still in Vancouver, I really need to break out of feeling that an outside run in the rain or leaf mush is better/easier than running at the gym. I would like to give the Nikes a go before I'm gone for two-three months and will be running in snow/ice.
