Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareโ€™s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Welcome to the American Winter In the frozen streets of Minneapolis, something profound is happening.

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, itโ€™s in Apple News, too.)

Work-from-office mandate? Expect top talent turnover, culture rot Organizations requiring IT workers to commute to an office need to ground decisions in value creation, focus on data-driven results, and avoid badge-swipe metrics, employment experts say.

RTO mandates can make sense in some cases, but they're not necessarily a good one-size-fits-all decision for every workplace.

How to make workers happier with less pay It turns out that remote work is even more desirable than previously thought, according to new research โ€” and employees will even take a pay cut to avoid the office.

It all comes down to work/life balance....

Do you trust AI? Hereโ€™s why half of users donโ€™t A global study found that while 72% of people see AI as a useful tool, half don't trust its accuracy, citing concerns about safety, misuse, and insufficient regulation.

AIโ€™s being used in schools, offices, and homes.
But nearly half the world doesnโ€™t trust it.
Why? Training, governance & hallucinations.
