The V-formation maps cleanly to how we think about leadership: someone sets direction, others align behind. But the murmuration model — distributed, adaptive, leaderless — might be closer to how real teams work. https://www.poppastring.com/blog/leadership-from-birds

“Of all the possible Middle East scenarios, 🔥the current state of play is one of the worst for the global economy,”

I'm a humanities scholar. I got into this racket to read and write and every once in a while geek out with other loners. FFS, the goal was never "leadership opportunities."
Through his new book and his leadership of the National Baptist Convention, USA, the Rev. Dr. Boise Kimber '18 S.T.M. attempts to “chart a future where not only is the stained-glass ceiling shattered, but also the brick wall of resistance is dismantled.”

Maybe one of the more surprising things about the current live coding waves is how queer-lead it has become. I wouldn't have said it was ever particularly masculine/macho, but live coding was very cis male-dominated and hetronormative in the early days. Now as far as I know all the people blowing up on tiktok and instagram are LGBQT, and the most active live coding software and community platforms for music and visuals include LGBQT people leading core development (I say leadership here …
The US under the leadership of Darth #Trump has lost the war against Iran; worse still, it has also lost its sphere of influence in the Middle East; just as, due to its naive friendship with #Putin, it is in the process of completely squandering its sphere of influence in Europe and NATO.

"The layoffs are directly tied to Oracle’s aggressive and debt-heavy expansion into artificial intelligence infrastructure. According to analysis from TD Cowen, the job cuts are expected to free up between $8 billion and $10 billion in cash flow — money the company urgently needs to fund a massive buildout of AI data centers."

Field staff at the federal agency that enforces civil rights laws in the workplace

Secretary of State, National Security Advisor Secretary of Defense, Vice President, Attorney General and President of the United States mere hours after what no one could say wasn’t a decapitation strike on the US (attack meant to remove the leadership of a country all at once) are optionally all within 20 feet of each other during a war because the US Secret Service is inexplicably behaving as if the threat has passed.

After many years as a staunch fence-sitter/political neutral, I voted in two previous political leadership races. The first was the 2020 Green leadership race. I was excited to support a candidate, and was then horrified to find out he was a Russian propagandist claiming to be a ‘anti-imperialist’. You can figure out who that is on your own lol. Have fun :)
The second leadership race I participated in was the BC NDP race that pitted David Eby against Anjali Appadurai.
She was treated horribly, and I would say with fear, by the BC NDP leadership. She could have been a sea change in real social progressive leadership in BC and Canada but was pushed out.
She's working for Avi Lewis’ campaign.
