You can learn a lot about your product by learning a little about another (the other being a highly successful, market-leading, one-stop-shop in an industry kinda product). And today we are taking a peak under the hood @Spotify with @Jonny_CBB! WATCH👉 hubs.ly/Q02rD_yR0

I saw the interview that @mariannaspring did with the person behind the anonymous account. This person's views are vile but I think you handled that interview brilliantly. Very composed whilst listening to the most ridiculous, immature crap. Amazing job 👏🏾 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68380445

This is horrendous treatment of living beings and needs to stop!
We have a question for @DefraGovUK: why is it still legal to keep hens in cages? 📷 We publish a new, shocking investigation from a caged hen farm in Yorkshire. The footage is heartbreaking 😢 📷TAKE ACTION 📷 RT & demand a ban on caged hen farming! #CluckOffRishi

> I know in the first 9 minutes if a candidate has what it takes This actually means: I have biases and I am not afraid to use them consciously in interviews. Really bad take overall.
I'm a Chief Technology Officer at Deloitte. I've hired 100+ people in my career and I know in the first 9 minutes if a candidate has what it takes. Here are 10 things that will make you stand out in any interview:

It's Miller's stillness that always strikes me most, the concentration on Powell's words that presages his evisceration of the hideous bigot. It's more drive-by than debate. The racists who pose as 'intellectuals' remain much more insidious than their more 'honest' counterparts.
Replying to @mrjamesob
On days like today, it’s important to remember the words of the wonderful Jonathan Miller when challenging the dog whistling of Enoch Powell.

I've seen posts that @VP only "got the job" because of her gender. Trash like this was said to me too, even at my modest level, and I think most women will hear something similar at some point in their lives. Ignore it, be badass at your job and LET THEM EAT THEIR WORDS! 👏💪

Never forget: Attacks on the working class come from those who travel by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

Calling out systemic issues in #academia does NOT mean I don't support the pursuit of research. Calling out systemic issues in #academia means I think research is wonderful and I want the environment to improve. #AcademicTwitter #phdchat #phdlife

Every year when I teach identity politics I ask the same question on the first day of class. Rather than the usual icebreakers, I ask: “How does your family / your culture cook rice?” 1/
