Happy birthday to us! 🎉 wearespringgreen.com

Marlene cooked with this one.

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@HabsOnReddit my favorite thing watching Habs games on the ESPN app is when they censor Dobes’s surname in closed captioning. 😂

@BenSasse You are respected and loved, Ben!

for those who remember the 90s, I didn’t inhale

@UW Incredible shot. Well done.

Ending the season on a perfect note 🌸

@SonnyBunch @EsotericCD Plus all of their Christmas singles are EXCELLENT (Boots; Joseph, Better You Than Me; Christmas in L.A.)!

@EsotericCD "Hot Fuss" alone had like three other genuine hit singles! And that's their best album, for sure, but they had more hit singles after that. "Mr. Brightside" is definitely their biggest hit, but "Somebody Told Me" was huge. This is a crazy take. You're crazy.

The Killers really only had that One Song, but cripes what a one song to have. youtube.com/watch?v=gGdGFt…

I’m so glad the BBC sent her to be the reporter on this! She appreciated every moment of the #Artemis launch so much!! 🚀

Let’s do this thing! 🚀 🌕 Godspeed, @NASAArtemis! 🙏

@E_Scallon Yes! 🍭

Excited for all the robotic uses cases in healthcare, like this one.

@RedCrossCasc An easy way to love thy neighbor! ♥️

Tell us why YOU donate blood in the comments!

It does. I think what we’ll see in the near term is the market opting for the speedy utility gen AI delivers. But as talent cultivation/pipeline gets sacrificed on the alter of those shortcuts, the not just do the job but “do my job better” aspiration Mina advocates here will win out in the long run (see what I did there? 🏈 🏃🏽‍♂️ 😉).

How would you feel if the Habs traded Arber Xhekaj? 🤔

Jealous.

Wowed by Al Michaels on the new @BenSasse & @ChrisStirewalt pod “Not Dead Yet,” - his vivid memories calling epic games like Miracle on Ice & his emphasis on writing skills. Good writing is essential for all comms fieds - true before AI and with AI. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/not…

"You're not gonna hear a better, more pure reflection of emotion, ever." Everything about Jack Hughes' moment was incredible 👏

"If we played them ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight we shut them down because we can. Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world." - Herb Brooks, today in 1980

@gothburz Hang it in the Louvre.

I'm in Corporate Communications. Last Tuesday we laid off 2,400 people. I wrote the announcement. It took 11 drafts. Draft 1 said "layoffs." Legal said no. Draft 2 said "job cuts." HR said no. Draft 3 said "workforce reduction." The CEO said "too negative." Draft 11 said "organizational restructuring to position the company for sustainable growth." Everyone approved. Same 2,400 people. Different words. Words matter. To the stock price. I wrote "difficult decision." Difficult means we thought about it. We thought about it for six months. Then we did it anyway. But we thought first. That's empathy. I wrote "we don't take this lightly." We take it very lightly. It's a spreadsheet. Names. Salaries. Roles. Delete. Done. But "lightly" sounds bad. So we don't take it lightly. I wrote "impacted employees." Not "fired employees." Not "people who can't pay rent." "Impacted." Like weather. Natural. Unavoidable. Nobody's fault. The CEO recorded a video. He looked sad. We did seven takes. Take 1: Not sad enough. Take 4: Too sad. Take 7: Perfect sadness. Authentic. Rehearsed authentic. That's the goal. The email went out at 6 AM. Pacific time. Before markets opened. Before journalists woke up. Before employees knew. Some found out on Twitter. From reporters. Before their managers called. That wasn't the plan. But it also was the plan. We scheduled the manager calls for 6:15 AM. Reporters refresh faster than managers dial. A reporter asked for comment. I said, "We're committed to supporting affected employees." Supporting means two weeks severance. Per year of service. Capped at 12 weeks. Maximum loyalty: 6 years. After that, same payout. Thanks for your service. The stock went up 7%. That's why we did it. Not sustainable growth. Not organizational efficiency. The stock. The CEO's options vest in March. The timing is coincidental. That's what I wrote. In the internal FAQ. "The timing is unrelated to executive compensation." It's very related. But unrelatedness is the message. The message is my job. I'm very good at my job. Draft 11 proved it. 2,400 people. Zero accountability. All sustainable growth.
