#PSA Not enough women -- especially peri/menopausal years -- seem to know about women's healthcare platforms like Hers (an affliate of Hims) and Alloy, among others, which are designed to deliver easier access to better healthcare solutions. the more you know ...

‼️ Swatters are faking 911 emergencies with AI voices. About 14% of dispatchers told APCO, a US 911 dispatchers' group, they've been targeted with AI tools. The fake callers say "uh" and "um" like real people. Some add AI gunfire or screaming in the background. In August, NPR reports, an AI voice phoned in a bomb threat to a California high school, and classes were cancelled. A forensic psychology professor told NPR he can clone his voice on ElevenLabs for under $20. He says the fakes are "going to be nearly impossible to detect."

Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, he’s always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO

#protip A lot of [serial] women founders figured this piece out, certainly by midlife ...: "Creative and chi / lifeforce energies are in fact re-directed sexual energy."
#unpopularopinion The tech industry was only ever truly innovative, pioneering + inventive when techbros didn't have consensual rape orgies, poly + other guaranteed sex with unwilling parties. Creative and chi / life force energies are in fact redirected sexual energy. #fleet

It's why entrepreneurs treat businesses they found like it's their babies.

It's also why the best our current crop of techbros can do is invent their new AI God based on other people's superior knowledge and talents...

w/o discipline and self-control you have nothing except a fancy AI calculator that you built from other people's inventiveness and cleverness

The decline of our tech sector (into *gig* economy and personal delivery mechanism apps) was commensurate with the EA movement and all its ill-gotten fake goals and new religion of AI

Today idols arise and demand our worship: success at any cost, money, an obsession with appearance, popularity, or the unrestrained pursuit of pleasure. Sometimes, in order to win the approval of others, we may go so far as to lie, betray, or humiliate someone on social media. Do not bow down before anything that cannot give you life. And if you have ever fallen, get back up. Do not allow anything or anyone to take away the freedom God has given you. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

Any PR person would do well to treat journalists as a primary customer. You are there to facilitate *their* needs. It's the only way you'll ever earn their trust. HINT: the trust piece applies to nearly every profession.
The audacity to think you’re above the profession adjacent to yours. There’s no journalism without PR and vice versa. No one is shaming you as a freelance writer whose job is dependent on pitching editors. You’d have no bylines without a follow up

The best take you can have on this is to understand what each individual prefers + needs, based on *their* objectives. Whether journalist or other customer/client. Work + deliver on *that specific* basis. again: applies to everything in the world. People are unique individuals.

You can just delete and move on. Also, having guidance on how to pitch goes a long way: thedesk.net/about-us/pitch/ We cut down on a lot of irrelevant pitches this way. We also encourage follow-ups, because we do miss things. Some of our best stories have come from follow-ups.

To my friends in the PR industry: Please stop following up. There is no need to follow up. Really. I am begging you not to follow up.
