   RE: https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun/115723674656240039

   Happy 3rd birthday #Phanpy!!! And congratulations @cheeaun for this incredible milestone!!! 🥳

   My favorite thing about Phanpy is definitely its Catch Up feature. The Fediverse already has a strong focus on genuine human connections... and Phanpy's Catch Up takes things to the next level. I love clicking on the profile photos of people I follow to see what they've been up to.

   In my eyes Phanpy is the BEST social media client out there.

   Thank you for Phanpy and keep up the incredible work!

   "When your canaries flee, it's a sign your innovation oxygen is dying." - Futurist Jim Carroll

   As CEOs rush to get their people back to the office, they are forgetting one key thing: the best ones aren't excited about coming back to widely dysfunctional organizations. And since they have the skills that are needed the most, they'll choose who to work for, where they'll do the work, and the corporate 'culture' they'll choose to subscribe to.

   In other words, the CEOs still aren't necessarily in charge.

   What's my point? You departed talent knows your future. Are you listening?

   When your best people—your canaries—flee, it means your innovation's oxygen is gone, and only the suffocating routine of your failure is left. I've stood on stage in front of countless leadership teams, and I often tell them a stark truth: your company's most profound insights into the future aren't coming from a market research report. They're walking out your door every single day.

   I've prepared a pretty detailed PDF that goes into my post below. Read it, share it, ponder it. It's right here.

   https://pdf.jimcarroll.com/Your-Departed-Talent-Knows-Your-Future-Are-You-Listening.pdf

   I call them "industry expatriates," a phrase I coined in my book Ready, Set, Done! in 2007.

   These aren't just employees who found a better salary. These are your passionate visionaries, your rebels, your future-builders. They are the ones who became so fundamentally frustrated with the institutional sclerosis that attack every new idea that they left. They didn't just quit a job; they went out and founded the very companies that will disrupt you tomorrow.

   They are your canaries in the coal mine, and the silence you hear after they leave is the sound of your future suffocating.

   It's in that context that I believe we are witnessing what I might call "The Great Miscalculation," in which CEOS and companies are forcing a return to a broken culture.

   The question you need to ask yourself is this: Who has left your organization in the last two years? Where did they go? More importantly, what are they building now?

   Don't just track who is leaving. Track what they do next.
   Their new venture is your roadmap to the disruption you failed to embrace. The future of your organization is walking out the door.

   The only question is whether you're going to listen to what it's telling you on its way out.

   Get Scrappy: Why Raw Beats Perfect (And Perfect Content is Dead)

   We used to polish content because we loved it. Now we polish because we’re scared not to.

   In this video, I talk about why I’ve stopped optimizing. Why I film on a webcam. Why I don't use transitions, branded intros, or perfect lighting. And why that choice isn’t laziness.

   I don’t have an article; it’s posts on here about the CEO’s remarks — and deleted posts from the company’s official account — that I’m referring to.

   In my view, it’s a “where there’s smoke there’s fire” situation: if they’re doing something fashy behind closed doors, you’re not going to hear about it until it’s way, way too late.

   I don't think so. And most Black folk in my group chats don't think so either. Centrist Dems are already tacking even further to the far-right. They moved against AOC and kept her off of committee. They are terrified of her. And rather than stop exploiting Black people and treating our rights as trading chips, even more Dems are offering trans people and their rights up too as another ill-conceived appeasement chip alongside Black people.

   So no, I don't think we have learned any lessons at all. We're all still doing the same things:

   * Black men are still trying to explain what we're asking for: basic human rights. And we're still being infantilized as just wanting "legalized weed and crypto," 🤦🏿♂️ or not understanding Trump's plans, or not appreciating Biden enough.

   * Centrists are still saying, "We should have stanned Cheney even harder!"

   * anti-DEI rhetoric is still ongoing, and being treated by Dem leadership as legitimate conversation rather than plain old racism and sexism. Dems that will ask Black women to save us again in the mid-terms, are again saying nothing now while Black women are being attacked. We're still expecting one-way solidarity.

   * Police budgets are still increasing. "Tough on crime Dem," is still something that they aspire to.

   In short, no tigers have changed any stripes.

   I am optimistic that AOC support will continue to grow, along with support for other progressives. Centrist candidates lost, and progressive candidates won. In a "free flow of information" political landscape, centrist Dem candidates cannot win. And right-pushing newspapers have gone full mask-off. Everyone sees it now, which limits their influencing effect.

   @supernovacircus Yeah, I theoretically have my Cherrytree to copy these out to.

   In practice I have a large heap of unsorted bookmarks.

   Although it's just occurred to me to download my bookmarks CSV file and see what's in there for me to manipulate. I'll report back!
