Is it just me or Grammarly is always in the wrong place? 😅

@AliAbdaal @NotionHQ , @AmazonKindle and @readwise all day long. Hard to exclude Audible.

You can only pick 3. Which of these productivity apps could you not live without?

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism: Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment? The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth. Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again. In short, they said: It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews. This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is: “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group” The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership. Don’t take my word for it. You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am. They must all resign in disgrace. If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour. Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world? Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context. To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest. On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing. It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate. If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

@ProcureBites Yeah, I heard about this one - not seen it. On-field refereeing has been far better this season. But the VAR officials are clueless.

@_contractsguy Totally agree with this and I’d argue that VAR last night ruined what would have otherwise been an outstanding refereeing performance in the PSG v Newcastle game

VAR is killing the PL. As a Wolves fan, who usually can remove the bias, the decisions last night were diabolical. First pen - no contact but couldn't over rule the ref because it's not clear and obvious. Second pen - Super harsh, ref didn't give it, wasn't an obvious mistake but this, in reality gets over turned. Headbutt - should always be a red card. No such thing as a soft headbut. Ream could have had a second yellow - could have been harsh as it was more clumsy than anything else. The passion slowly goes each game.

@mattbarkercopy my best posts for revenue or leads are almost always the ones with the lowest impressions

In March 2023, I went mega viral. Everyone says how lucrative going viral is. But I have different opinions: 1. You have to be ready for it When I went viral, I wasn't ready to pounce on an influx of new leads. I wasn't looking for new clients and I didn't have a referral scheme setup to redirect any leads, so I made no money. But that didn't matter because... 2. Wrong views are pointless I got 700,000 views. Not a single lead. Why? Because the post was nothing about what I do or who I help. It demonstrated zero social proof or authority to me as a digital writer. Less of the right views > more of the wrong everytime. 3. You'll mislead yourself I still look back at that post and think 'should I post it again?' or 'should i repurpose it?'. I have to convince myself not to everytime. Because it would be the same story - no leads, no new business. Avoid traps like these. TL;DR: Of all the posts I've driven new business from, 9/10 that ones that do the best are: - Low views - Low engagement - Very specific copywriting Viral does not = cash.

One thing I'm convinced about after moving from a Procurement focus to Marketing: Creativity might be the only role left once AI is prevalent.

That's how you change an industry...again

People ask me how I make so much content about Procurement. It's simple. I've made notes throughout my career. I take those notes, connect them with other notes, and share them. The hard work has been done. And I've got my @NotionHQ second brain powering my notes capture.

We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you. Thank you, Sam Houser

@RockstarGames WE LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE GTA 6 ROLLOUT

@sallylewis488 You realise the "monarch" is just the mouthpiece for the government, right, with this yearly speech? But I agree...basics aren't in place, but that's a Tory issue, not a monarch issue.

💥While they r bragging about "driverless buses🚌" and "banning cigarettes", I'm still looking forward to getting mobile signal!😂The disconnect between the #Monarch&our day-to-day realities r INCREDIBLY UNDENIABLE! #BrokenBritain #Kingspeech #AbolishTheMonarch #Braverman #PMQs
