@Codie_Sanchez Until the corporate stakeholders (ie mgmt / execs from different lines of business) go away, the art of getting them aligned and navigating office politics is not something AI threatens to replace. Once decisions are made, AI can certainly execute on them.

Credentials literally do not matter anymore. I interviewed an ex-Goldman employee and asked her how she was using AI. What she said: Asking ChatGPT for recipes... I asked how she makes decisions. She said she likes to get all the stakeholders in a room, build a PowerPoint, and over a couple of weeks make sure everyone's aligned. I felt genuinely sad for her… that world at that speed just doesn't exist anymore.

@JewishWonk it's not binary, most galut probably oppose the current government and that doesn't make them anti-Z suddenly

This narrative has been pushed in stuffy media publications since at least 2010. It has never been my experience in any shul I have attended. Here's an anecdote from my current one: we pray for America, we pray for Israel, and at kiddush we talk about our kids and the cholent.

@ChrisSosa @mehdirhasan A lost opportunity to exact conditions for continued defensive aid.

AOC's commitment to not arming Israel at all during the NYC-DSA forum will echo across the Democratic Party. She's considered a mainstream politician and serious contender for president. Expect no money for Israel military aid, including "defensive," to be a common litmus test.

@TomSteyer can we take a principled position against all the other dark money or..?

AIPAC is a dark money organization that should have no place in our politics.

@EylonALevy @Marikacobbold cant believe these nut jobs are still holding the coalition together

תחשבו מה שתחשבו על עונש מוות: לפתוח שמפניה על מוות זה מעשה אנטי-יהודי.

@harrisonfinberg 5mph enforcement unlocked

Urbanist hot take : the parked cars on these super narrow streets are the most effective ‘traffic calming’ we have. It becomes so narrow you really can’t move fast.

@WalshFreedom it's easy. drop the tinfoiler bs of spelling it lsreal, claiming the greater lsrael project is a thing, that they were behind 911 or control our govt. support can be quite conditional or pared down and that's not the part that will cost elections.

As a very new Democrat, I am so damn concerned about this. The Democratic Party will not win nationally and will not win in battleground states if they abandon their support for Israel.

@HowardA_AtLaw dont hate the player hate the game i dont care for todays version of it but naming it is super weird rather than going after how money in politics works in general

If the DNC really wants to lose Jews forever, fine, go ahead and single out one tiny Jewish group of all the PACs. Ignore NIAC, CAIR, Our Revolution, Sunrise, and tell us we and we alone cannot spend on supporting candidates. See how that works out. x.com/i/trending/203…

@damianplayer Mediation skills will also survive i think. Sort of an offshoot of being able to solve problems in unusual ways.

Palantir CEO, Alex Karp says only 2 types of people will survive the AI era..

@damianplayer it's impossible to find a mechanic with openings this month. the worker shortage is real.

@AmiDar @PavlosProkopeas That ally is now behaving badly but inertia in support exists -- and exists not because tel aviv is the US' true capital or some other vassal state bs, but because US calculated a national security benefit (thus far) in a close relationship.

@AmiDar @PavlosProkopeas I also think there is a deep history of post-ww2 global alliances. Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Venezuela, and of course Iran /proxies, all challenge US dominance -- and lsrael is the convenient local counter balance ally to the latter. The US has agency and chose its ally.

@aarmlovi @chrislhayes it's a shell

Regular reminder that America has no *national housing shortage* in the diffuse, location-agnostic sense You need a house <$120k? We've got millions The regulatory shortage is *inherently spatial*: It is exclusively in zoned urban areas near good jobs & good amenities

@johnricard @AbigailShrier @JonHaidt and not for nothing but Haidt also advocates i believe against this screen based learning. we just haven't tackled that

@johnricard @AbigailShrier @JonHaidt kid's don't use physical textbooks or know how to write cursive. they also get plenty of "downtime" with access to a chromebook this is all very well intentioned and all, but it strikes me as a purely symbolic move without addressing these other issues.

Two years ago, almost 0 schools were interested in even considering going phone free. Now, whole school systems are phone free. The rest are scrambling to get on board We owe @JonHaidt a tremendous debt of gratitude. What he achieved - this quickly - is almost unimaginable.

@Yusefeid2 @magi_jay I appreciate that you are calling out specific parties and leaders.

@magi_jay Getting rid of Netanyahu doesn’t suddenly change Likud, or Otzma Yehudit, the “opposition leader” is equally genocidal, that also doesn’t change the polling of Israeli society, it doesn’t stop the hilltop youth, or the expansion of settlements. Israel has a societal problem.

"You should be able to criticize the government of Israel without being called antisemitic." I agree. Me and my liberal friends do it all the time. Maybe the rest of you are doing something different.

CFO Mike Herbstman is providing details of the $4.9 billion 2026-27 budget. "We need to make changes right now" to avoid a continuing structural deficit, Herbstman said. W/$225m this year & $40m in cuts for the next several years, #PHLed will have a balanced budget by 2030.

@newskag What about all those five figure ERP and GPS contracts in the last meeting?

The superintendent of the School District of Philadelphia outlines a plan to attack the district's budget deficit. fox29.com/news/philadelp…

@QuietResolve24 @WalshFreedom The regimes are both terrible for sure! There was a time you could safely cross back and forth into gaza

2 things can be true at once… Israel is our ally and people are good but their government might be shit right now and not great. Not hard to separate the 2 Same with Palestine, the people are good while the Hamas government can burn in the deepest level of hell You can continue the same process with Iran….

Israel is our ally. They always have been. I believe Israel is our closest ally on the planet. Here’s the thing: You can & should always criticize an ally when deserved. And criticizing Israel is not antisemitism. But my new political party is moving beyond simple criticism. Too many Democrats are openly hostile to Israel, too many are questioning Israel’s very existence, too many view Israel - and not the Islamists - as the bad guy in the region. Too many Dems no longer view Israel as our ally. And way too many on the left are now openly antisemitic. If my new political party continues down this road it would be a horrible thing for peace in this world, and politically, it would rightly destroy the Democratic Party.
