#requiredreading — Public Fediverse posts

😂 Oh look, Carl's ascended to the heights of engineering leadership by sending "required reading" to his team. Because nothing says "wisdom" like force-feeding your minions blog posts and research papers. 📚 Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here wondering when Carl will start his book club. 📖🙄

Gifted article-real worth reading this. [NYTimes]: Harris Cracked Down on Violent Offenders; Showed Leniency on Less Serious Crime By Robert Draper (the esteemed-Robert Draper!)
Her record as a prosecutor navigating both paths has left her open to criticism that she either betrayed liberal ideals or prioritized them over law and order.

What is everyone reading today?

I started Uncomfortable Conversations With A Black Boy this morning. I plan on having the 12 year old and 14 year old read it next. Should be required reading for all white kids.

#RequiredReading New people! Hello! I'm one of you!

If you're new (most users probably fall into this category), this is not Twitter. Many people have carefully grown and cultivated the Mastadon house for years. Be nice! After you take a look around, PLEASE read this essay making the rounds about the great migration. Imagine that you just walked into a beautiful library full of people who absolutely love it and want you to improve it. Be good to each other.

Edward Bernays literally wrote the book, Propaganda. When the term 'propaganda' became a pejorative, he rebranded it as 'Public Relations'.

If there is a No Agenda required reading list, I imagine this would be near the top, right up there with Manufacturing Consent.
