The AI has already started making its presence felt on the executive team, sending out a 500-word email about “leveraging holistic verticals for client-centric uplift” that no one has fully read but everyone agreed “sounded important.”

Jane Goodall is the kind of person that every flag in the world should be flown at half-mast for.

The type of hero that we should inspire young people to look towards.

Bummer. I was hoping you were asking about Communists, or at least US Republicans. There's too many reds under our beds.

What type of reds are you referring to?

At a corporate event where every one of the speakers - six so far - has been a middle aged male. I'm wondering how this happens in 2025.

It's interesting how the community's perception of tech has changed. The industry is paying the price for hubris and greed.
