Worked out. Air in my tires. Gas in my tank. Mango in my trunk (all from Costco). Roni Size in my ears. Happy eclipse Wednesday, peeps!
happy eclipse day to those who celebrate and will be waking up on GMT

New podcast ep today — on my brand spanky new website! Josh Levine and I dish about the broken hiring system and what to do about it. I envision a knowledge continuum connecting what you know & who you learn it from — with how you deploy skills at work. Enjoy 🙏🏻 mynameisjoshsilverman.com/podcasts/

Pushing a major update to my personal site in advance of a podcast ep dropping next week. While it’s exciting to be updating it after so long, working with Claude and Netlify and GitHub has me recalling an adage from my agency days: “solving problems by creating them” 🥴🫠😬
Contemplating Triangulating Weighing Mulling Reckoning Crystallizing Figuring Fathoming Cogitating Untangling …it must have been fun to come up with all the “Thinking” verbs for @claudecode.bsky.social. 🧐
BOY it’s been SO LONG since I’ve traded glances with someone on the train — eventually saying hi before my stop because I saw him GLARING — bro if you’re not gonna make the first move then I absofreakinglutely will! 🔥 Relatedly: just posted a Craigslist missed connections 😮💨🙏🏻
i did NOT just read my first halloween event content 😅🫨
Having a salad of three ingredients: radicchio, cucumber, orange tomato. There’s a certain joy from having grown and harvested two of the ingredients.
Bowl of summer: Farmers market heirloom tomatoes. Burrata. Graza olive oil, balsamic glaze, umami salt & coarse ground black pepper.
Wait, it’s August???????????? WHO APPROVED THIS, omg??????
Odyssey this. Odyssey that. We Odyssey ICE abolished.
poured myself a pint of iced coffee and promptly spilled it on the floor, how’s your friday morning starting?
Man it was both hilarious & hard to rewatch Sorry to Bother You tonight at Roxie in SF. Boots and LaKeith and Tune-Yards were back for I Love Boosters & I super enjoyed what a visual romp it was. A critical skewed skewering of SF. I appreciate how far he takes the joke. The absurd and the awful.
Hey @nytimes.com would you chill with the messaging to invite three people to my subscription? I’ve said no every gd day, in several many ways.
Good morning and hello Bsky. Where are you finding hope these days? How are you creating it?

ohhhkayyyy??? Maybe it’s NYTime to update your word list?!
The capitalist urge to build big box structures — once malls, now data centers — is going to leave us with the same blight. Big box structures that contain smaller boxes — it’s boxes all the way down.
So, we can build Data Centers, but not Battery Storage centers? And solar, wind to power them..
Just gonna say, as the author of the 2021 report, I stand by every single thing I wrote
center for american progress (2021): "Trans inclusive policies "which allow transgender athletes to compete in accordance with their gender identity, should be implemented nationwide." Center for american progress in (2026): "restrictions may be appropriate under some circumstances"
