I've historically had great luck finding mentors. Unfortunately, they've all passed away. I'm seeking expertise around startups, lead gen, and general founder experiences and not finding much. Welcome intros, slack spaces, and other direction. Thanks in advance.

Oh! I almost missed an opportunity to plug Hair Love again!

"Toxic masculinity" doesn't mean that masculinity is toxic, any more than "rabid dog" means that all dogs are rabid. Some masculinity is toxic, and some dogs are rabid.

If you're comfortable with your masculinity, you get to be a better dad.👍🏿

Love this method of data storytelling. Scroll telling but also a really powerful narrative you can see play out in front of you.👌🏾 via Pudding here https://pudding.cool/2022/12/yard-sale/
Why the super rich are inevitable

Why some mathematicians argue the economy is designed to create a few super rich people – unless we stop it.

I was tired of typing xml to add palettes to my tableau preferences file...so I made at thing that does the heavy lifting. I hope you have as much fun playing with hex codes as I do.

Check it out and see how I used and abused the new image role function here: http://bit.ly/3HLsRVm

Yoooooo I've got another LinkedIn course in the works! This time on AI auditing. There's so much going on in this space considering the #NYCAEDT law and (hopefully) more on the way!

Another feature I covered last week. Native support for images through urls. Pair this with a service like Cloudinary and youll be able to edit image using just calculations or conditions and parameters. 🤯 video here https://youtu.be/37xBp2BCQgw #tableau

@dave @Bam @thetitanborn

1) Don't ask Black users to CW discussions of their own racism.

2) Don't be on a server where mods mistreat Black folk.

3) Support the mods on your own server, financially and otherwise.

4) Don't engage with sea lions that say "Mistreatment? Here? prove it!" There have been enough threads shared on Black folk receiving racism. Individually convincing each one is exhausting, and expecting that is a tactic of bad faith actors.

This spring, I spent three days learning to turn wood from Blind woodworking legend George Wurtzel. I kind of fell in love with the process (and based on my first attempts it loves me back). i'd like to find a friendly venue in NYC to learn more and access a lathe + tools, before going all in on my own setup. Does anyone have recommendations for a place that would be welcoming? (I'll bring the Blind-specific techniques: there's very little that needs modification).
