@Farzad_MD Na you

1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers. I have never felt so intimidated by my peers The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.

@BlackCa31110899 @RonniSalt Ordered it pre-publishing and it hasn’t arrived. Oh well.

Got my copy :) For those trying to find a copy of @RonniSalt book Gunnawah, try smaller and independent bookstores. In Sydney, Gleebooks and Berkelouw have copies.

@briancollins1 Preach.

Dear God. Nothing creative, intelligent or fun will ever happen in this room. So, what's the best way to help people to do their best work? First, never, ever, ever place "motivating" quotes on your office walls. Instead, just help people take one step forward every day. The authors in this Harvard Business Review story provide a checklist that people can use on a daily basis to see how we are doing. In an analysis of knowledge people’s diaries, the authors found that nothing contributed more to a positive inner work life (the mix of emotions, motivations, and perceptions that is critical to performance) than making progress in meaningful work. If you are motivated and happy at the end of the workday, it’s a good bet that you achieved something, however small. If you drag yourself out of the office disengaged and joyless, a setback is likely to blame. Leaders have deep influence over our colleagues' well-being, motivation and creativity. The key is to learn which actions support progress—setting clear goals, providing sufficient time and resources, and offering recognition—and which have the opposite effect. Even small wins boost inner work life tremendously. On the flip side, small losses or setbacks can have an negative effect. And the work doesn’t need to involve curing cancer in order to be meaningful. It simply must matter to the person doing it. The actions that set in motion a positive feedback loop between progress and inner work life may sound like Management 101, but it takes discipline to establish new habits. What it does NOT take is bland, reductive nonsense like this. hbr.org/2011/05/the-po…

@Kuytstanding @paulbrown73au @brisbanelions @AFL @Channel7 @7Sport At least one player always forgets, give him a break!

@paulbrown73au @brisbanelions @AFL @Channel7 @7Sport I’m going to go out on a limb and say that he likely got a bit swept up in the moment and forgot. Let’s not hang him out to dry for an honest error. You’ll likely find that kid will have something special lined up in coming days from the club and Charlie to make up for it.

#AFLGF #AFLSwansLions @brisbanelions @AFL @Channel7 @7Sport #charliecameron So upsetting for kid that gave the number 23 player Charlie Cameron his medal that Charlie didn’t shake his hand and the player was so up himself. Don’t they get told what to do with the medal pres.? 1/2

@SethAbramson Well put. Completely agree, things are rarely as simple as that kind of idiom. A possible exception may be ‘this too shall pass’. Thanks for the reply and all of your great work. It’s appreciated.

@Alter_ My take is that nice guys don’t finish last—they simply never finish *first*. Big difference. One theory forecloses that way of living, the other doesn’t. It’s a big world, and I don’t feel the need to finish first. I don’t even know that that has much meaning in this life.

(🧵) THREAD: Should journalists publish hacked materials? Different journalists have different understandings of the profession. Mine is admittedly idiosyncratic. But after 30 years as a journalist and six as a journalism prof, I can say that I wouldn’t publish hacked materials.

@TheIndigoGaming @stronkdaddy And Jan Hammer. Best theme ever.

MIAMI VICE first aired on this day 40 years ago! Despite a slow start, it managed to become one of the most popular and influential TV shows of the 80s. It's best known for its filmic cinematography, fashion, cars, danger, and for capturing the (still ongoing) Miami drug war.

@AnitaSummers57 Can confirm.

What if Australia had a Teal government? In fact, I think that might be the thing to do worldwide. Then we could get on with a bit of real life and do some useful things.

@RonniSalt Ordered. Congrats!

I just discovered today that my debut novel is now available to order. (Auuuugh!!!) Thank you muchly, and I'll just be over here kicking a small pile of sand. #shucks 👉🏾hachette.com.au/ronni-salt/gun…

@AoDespair Timeless, sadly.

Chinatown alone would be a career. It's a perfect script. And Last Detail makes clear that it wasn't happy luck.

@cyclingweekly Looking into a cabinet at a glorious rainbow of anodized hubs the other day and wondering when they’ll return to the road.

@Rainmaker1973 Wombats rule.

Wombats have a backward-facing pouch: The advantage is that when digging, the wombat does not gather soil in its pouch over its young. Bonus: the baby can easily eat and stay warm at the same time. [📹Sarah Time]

@sarahkendzior Salem’s Lot. He was the King of YA fiction.

Don’t think about it. Don’t try to be cool. Tell me; what was your favorite book when you were twelve? Off the top of my head:

Moved to Threads. 👋

@leahmcelrath Wow. This is playing as I read it… next level meta moment.

Everybody knows the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows youtu.be/Gxd23UVID7k?si…

@tim_michell Zip. Nada. Zero. Zilch. Chaos will reign before then.

How important is the Round 15 bye in your #supercoach plans? It's going me thinking about Bowes but then again you'd have traded him by then right?

@JonLemire @GreatDismal George Santos level psychopathy is now what the USA looks like.

@PRGuy17 Matthew was such a sweet child, we were devastated when we found his collection of dead kittens.

Train wreck. #auspol
