You are

Two days x.com/zerohedge/stat…

@PKSaltySam what game is this?

Me stepping outside in the bay area

Meanwhile in California...

@pm I see what you did there *taps head*

is spaceX the largest market oppt of all time and space?

@John_Papa You didn't do three that's what's wrong

I did two workouts today. What’s wrong with me?

@my2k @jayhasrajani @SarahJSketches "overly cinematic DVD extras" ^ the source of all truth

Does anyone else feel constantly frustrated at how little is known about animation outside the industry?

@PDXStephenG @puppetize It's more effective to introspect when the process is benchmarked to actions, goals, and results. Starting with a proactive, employment-drive outreach to the black community would go a long way to making this dialog more reflective of solving an actual problem, imho. (4/4)

@ohaiSF @puppetize

So it's not the all white #tech panels, virtue signaling, toxic work environments, limited relationships, lack of diversity in leadership, disinvestment in PoC partners or even the pipeline but the cops? A week ago @skipnewberry could be "silent no more".. bizjournals.com/portland/news/…

@PDXStephenG @puppetize In engineering roles in particular, most positions are placed by recruiters, rather than through direct applications. So, when I wrote my earlier suggestion it was based on the ability to proactively recruit POC based on existing methods and protocols. (3)

@PDXStephenG @puppetize Introspection without action seems to me like a waste of time. I think it would be better to start reaching out right now to current and potential black employees, and really doing the -work- necessary to hire them. (2)

@PDXStephenG @puppetize Thx 😊 Doing the hard work of identifying and changing a culture to be more inclusive seems like a recipe for cringe when it's going to be a largely white workforce doing so. Like imagine a bunch of white brogrammer hipsters sitting around a table being like "so much this." (1)

@PDXStephenG @puppetize Mind if I reply to this? Have some thoughts -- but I want to be aware of my place in this dialog and be respectful.

@ohaiSF @puppetize I would shift it a little to.. "We are going to dig into the deep work of identifying & addressing a culture at @puppetize where qualified Black candidates don't apply, aren't hired or retained THEN we are going to start adding talented Black professionals to our team."

Black techies are some of the coolest people I know. We need more of them, and we need more of them in positions of power.

@PDXStephenG @puppetize Yeah like, instead of that long-winded post about introspective self-awareness value transformation, maybe just be like, "we're going to hire more black people."

This is an epic level of "caucacity" by TAO & @puppetize. Orgs with NO Black board members, executive leaders or employees (sorry Puppet I forgot that .4%). You all don't even do the small stuff how could you ever tackle police reform. I am embarrassed for our state right now.

@StartupChamps @turoczy Yeah. White helvetica bold statements on a black background with a #BLM thrown in means little. Institutions need to make real, financial commitments and allow themselves to be held accountable.

"If you only post a message of solidarity and not make plans for change in your company culture, your hiring practices, admission into your accelerators/programs and spaces, your VC and Angel investments and philanthropic giving — you are still complicit." hrld.us/30DsB58

@ajscholz What are some examples of new, anti-racist capital instruments? I agree with you in theory, but it would be helpful to have some examples.

... just consider the cognitive dissonance of maintaining your endowment by investing in the very things your grant making tries to transform! ~ How about making (recoverable) R&D grants to innovative organizations that are creating NEW, anti-racist, capital instruments?!

@oscarthinks already dissected this deal very eloquently yesterday, x.com/oscarthinks/st…, so let me just summarize: these #philanthropy leaders are issuing new debt from the mainstream financial system that has white supremacy baked into it to make more grants ...

@NickTheNewbie 🤔

@NickTheNewbie Not sure if this is an adult thing as much as a "from the midatlantic and/or New England" thing. (Possibly also the South?) MY POYNT IS that it's not really a thing on the west coast.

@SianSimpson This is equally valid a question anywhere else. Happy to share my own thoughts on it anytime!

If you don't work in the tech sector in New Zealand, but you wanted to, but didn't have/know the skills where would you start?

@JoshConstine Wait you don't work at TC anymore? Well I guess that answers my question lol

Chris Cox was Facebook's moral compass & its best empathizer. Epic move to return as Chief Product Officer after departing a year ago over policy disagreements. Gives hope. He said on stage "Trump should not be our president"

@JoshConstine I should point out that this tweet calls into relief the conservative critique of a leftist media bias. Unless you'd like to clarify: are you speaking as an individual, or as an impartial journalist?
