How to be a better hiring manager: Stop playing games with job candidates
Earlier this year, I started documenting counterproductive — and sometimes downright baffling — hiring practices that people were sharing on social media. I call it “weird games hiring managers play.

The healthcare disruptors of 2026: A watchlist for communicators and marketers
About a decade ago, the term “healthcare disruption” started showing up everywhere. It was talked about constantly. It got to the point where I became cynical whenever someone mentioned the term. Why?...

🚨 NEW ARTICLE 👇 Don't make this huge career mistake: **Waiting to be asked about a promotion** I've seen so many people miss out on applying for great internal roles because they want to be asked to apply by their manager before acting. That's a critical error. www.linkedin.com/pulse/dont-m...
Don’t Make this Mistake: Why Waiting to Be Asked Can Cost You a Promotion
Promotions don’t always go to the most qualified person. They often go to the person who speaks up first. Here is how to avoid this mistake.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social
Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings. Get them out of there.
This used to be the very thing conservatives claimed to be against — masked federal agents, uninvited and unwanted by the state, killing American citizens in the street for practicing their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights.

"Great Healthcare Plan." None of those things are true. Read about it from @citizencohn.bsky.social in the latest edition of The Breakdown: lnk.thebulwark.com/45Loe8U
Trump’s ‘Great Healthcare Plan’ Is Not Great. It’s Not Even a Plan.
And this is not what it looks like when you’re serious about lawmaking.

With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.
Agents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names
