PUB DAY for "When McKinsey Comes to Town." This is much more than a book about a consulting firm: McKinsey is how ideas like high CEO pay, offshoring, asset securitization, and mega-profit healthcare spread far and wide. THIS THREAD describes our journey.

This is the first time I’m seeing SNL just straight up ran an ad for a product instead of a parody.
It wasn’t funny but it convinced me to download BeReal to see what the hype is about. Mission accomplished, I guess.

Time in meetings has more than tripled since Feb 2020. Nearly a third of meetings are unnecessary—wasting $25M a year for every 1k people.
There are 4 reasons to meet: to decide, learn, bond, and do. If it doesn't serve one of those purposes, cancel it.

realist: My brother in Christ, people stormed the Capitol and posted videos to their social media & texted family. They’ll happily sign their names to mean tweets.

In 2018, @Tumblr announced a ban on "adult content." That call was made by @Verizon, Tumblr's erstwhile owner, and to call the resulting mess "a shitshow" is an insult to good, hardworking shitshows all over the world. 1/
