The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism: Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment? The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth. Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again. In short, they said: It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews. This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is: “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group” The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership. Don’t take my word for it. You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am. They must all resign in disgrace. If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour. Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world? Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context. To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest. On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing. It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate. If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

Yesterday, after posting a Tweet saying that I reject the word ‘cis’ and don’t wish to be called it, I receive a slew of messages from trans activists calling me “cissy” and telling me that I am ‘cis’ “whether or not I like it”. Just imagine if the roles were reversed.

Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.

Thank you @JohnsHopkins for reminding us that “woman” is an outdated and offensive term. From now on, the phrase is “non-man”. 👏✊

I’d rather grow slower but build an engaged audience and a profitable business. Than build 10k followers in a month and they don’t give a shit about my content.

Everyone goes through a "collector's phase" Only when you look at your inbox full of notes, it sinks in that collecting for the sake of collecting doesn’t help you It’s the application of information that makes the difference

SaaS products seem to always have separate product and pricing pages. Courses seem to always show the price at the bottom of the (very long) landing page. Does anyone know why these patterns are so prevalent?

Procurement’s inability to attract new talent is its 2nd biggest failing. The war on talent will never be over, if we don’t change the way we promote the profession.

Procurement done well supercharges an organisation. Procurement done badly sucks all the energy from an organisation. The existential threat to Procurement is too many fail to realise their methods are in the latter camp.

In life, it doesn’t matter what happens to you or where you came from. It matters what you do with what happens and what you’ve been given.
