Hi Twitter hivemind! Given what’s happening in my country, anyone here have behavioral economics or research case studies on combatting disinformation? I do follow @firstdraftnews , but checking if there are other research projects as well

Had a chat with @yellowicepick earlier, talking about her transition from research to product, where we want to go in our careers, and discovering we both experienced ad hoc product management roles, despite not having official experience 😅 Thank you Angela for the time! 🙌

My twitter feed is now a toxic hellhole and I’ll be removing it from my phone, to preserve my sanity. I’ll be looking for a different social feed, sadly. And, I’ll just look for the people I admire and follow, elsewhere.

Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch, Facebook/Instagram is owned by Mark Zuckerberg, and Twitter is owned by Elon Musk. But remember, MAGA Republicans tell us every single day that they have no voice in America. You can’t make this up.

Over the long weekend, I’m going to check out the favorite people I follow, and see where else they “live” on the internet 🥲

Also, where will I go to now to check if there’s an earthquake? 😂 #EarthquakePH

Serious question though: Where else is there a forum where I can openly follow people I admire as they share raw thoughts, life and work lessons - That aren’t fully controlled by a likes-powered algorithm? So it’s only *casually* engaging

👏🏽 And, with this retweet, I ask: What’s a good app to shift to, now? :(

Finally paid to edit tweets (huh, it doesn’t work retroactively…) and the way it works reminds me a lot of this one XKCD comic

“Now, I had considered X as well; it is in my “mental model.” The difficult part, the part that is almost impossible to figure out without experience, is judging the importance of X”- Title is clickbait, but content highlights value of real-world practice unfashionable.substack.com/p/elon

Things I don’t miss from enterprise work: Politics is part of life, and all jobs. I know this now. But, power plays defeating objective business benefits are the pits.

Happy anniversary! To the project and team whose work I admire most. And have tried to learn from (in any publicly available way) for a decade. 🙌🏽 @GDSTeam

Today’s @nytimes newspaper with Dr. Li Wenliang’s story on the bench dedicated to him in NYC Central Park, near west 96th st entrance. 纽约中央公园纪念李文亮医生的长椅上：今天《纽约时报》报纸关于他的报道。 长椅在西96街入口附近。 长椅上写着：“一个健康的社会不应该只有一种声音。”

Job-to-be-done + features: When I want to do an unfettered brain dump, I use Evernote, so that I can focus on pure “text”. Contrast: The immediacy of Notion’s formatting controls + chunkiness of font style gives my brain a sense of pressure that my thoughts have to be more formed

One of my favorite things about our team: everyone proactively asks how we could have learned something sooner
