The Burden Of Command, Or If I Were Trump Right Now
I'll get a few more hours sleep after posting this early morning's thread. It's just after 3:30 AM, EST. The dream for America that I dreamed awakened me, and so here I am.

Bonjour, the unroll you asked for: @ThyConsigliori: 21 December 2020 #MAGAanalysis #HeMightBeRight A Shocking Theory - He Might Be Right Today, we'll\u2026 https://t.co/2c7UPUKSAU Have a good day. \U0001f916

2) I don't know what I'm going to do about it. That's a bridge too far. If I didn't have the thread reader app unroll above, I'd be checking my memory of my work. Thank goodness at least that's there!
45 - 27 = 18
Twitter disappeared 18 of my tweets. And they're not random.
3) At the same time, look what I find in my feed. Two announcements composed in identical format. I'll point out what's wrong with these "clarifications" below. This is from
Newsmax just aired this note to "clarify" its coverage of Smartmatic and Dominion. pic.twitter.com/I5XZ7CQpAk

4) And this from
Fox News hosts caught in a web of lies. Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro, Lou Dobbs all forced by the network to air exact same video of an expert debunking all the conspiracy theories they\u2019ve been peddling. Expect it to run on Hannity, Tucker, and Laura too. pic.twitter.com/lJrMO2m7l4

5) Isn't it interesting that both clarifications follow the exact same series of questions and answers? Obviously this is from the legal department, as if it were information to be shared. It is not. It is very, very carefully NOT information. Focus on that.

If you think "It's not censorship unless the government does it," I want to change your mind.

It's absolutely true that the First Amendment only prohibits government action to suppress speech based on its content, but the First Amendment is not the last word on censorship.

Have you seen the stories about how Trump administration officials and staffers for Ted Cruz are finding that no one in the private sector will hire them because they are forever tainted by their former bosses' disgraceful behavior?

A lot of conversations today among Republican senators over move by @HawleyMO to challenge the certification of Biden\u2019s Electoral College victory. Small groups of Rs were huddling on & off the floor trying to game out the politics of what will happen Jan. 6

2. to hedge off these threats will also create fissures & fractures for these incumbents among other elements of their party that could complicate their renominations. Indeed, what worries me the most about the potential for the country to slip into @anneapplebaum territory is
3. that what should be robust and intense push back from the party establishment against actually ending democracy- bc that's what Trump's request would do, if it was granted, is fairly muted. What we SHOULD be seeing from the mainstream of the party is threats to strip committee
4. assignments, chairs, privileges, even reelection funds, if anyone gets involved in this bullshit- in the House & the Senate, and the fact that you don't see it is more than a story of McConnell & McCarthy being afraid of Trump & his base. Its a story of receptivity, of the
5. level of receptivity the congressional and party leadership is dealing with both within the rank and file membership of the party and within its donor class, and THAT, my friends, is why you find me so concerned. That, and my decision to finally pull @anneapplebaum's book

There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
