I have been working with AI for 3 years and I have enjoyed it and felt empowered by it but, I need to acknowledge where the fear comes from. We live in a time of limited hope. And it’s hard to hope when political and industry leaders seem to lack it.

"If they wanted to, they would have by now" - I was told this by a career mentor and I shared this with someone else today. It isn't easy to hear but it is also freeing. Real sponsorship acts now; false sponsorship asks you to wait.

I have 4 sisters and a brother, so I was lucky enough to be born with a built-in ride or die crew. As a middle child, they were my first and truest friends. Nothing in life could have prepared me for how much my heart would miss them as we've grown up and built our own beautiful, separate lives.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

iOS 26 - 2010s UI is back with a glass filter. If I got your attention remember people in Gaza, Sudan and DRC are under catastrophic humanitarian man made crisis. Don’t look away. Also free speech is under attack for real. And no it wouldn’t have been the same under Kamala & Tim

A Fox presenter called for the 🪦 of homeless people & nothing happened. Certain outlets often make awful remarks about children and marginalized people who are victims of violence, but nothing happens. Jimmy K points out the hypocrisy of this reaction, and now free speech is no longer protected.

Nesting vs branching emails: I'm stuck in a thread split email mess. Instead of a readable structure, replies are deeply nested. I need a visual tree that branches from the original email, clearly showing read/unread paths. Has anyone solved this? Do we have these views in the world 👇

I played around with Veo today, and I must say that I'm pretty impressed. I created an 8-second vlog-style clip from one of my favorite books.... Can you guess which book and where the character is going? The prompt was pretty robust, but okay

One thing I've come to understand is that you can excel at your job—be truly skilled, respected, and accomplished—yet still feel lost, unfulfilled, or incomplete. If you're a lead encourage those around you to explore new opportunities, hobbies, embrace the unknow. Happy Friday and turn off your 💻
