Saw them in the wild yesterday and have to say they're kinda fly. Looks like made by adidas but more BAA logos than adidas, which is nice.

Makes for good boathandling practice!

Feels fitting for the Invisible Man to be a Mainer

The Way of Water: On the Quiet Power of Ursula K. Le Guin’s Activism In the past two months, I’ve found myself thinking back to an essay Ursula K. Le Guin posted on her blog in November 2016. It was one of her last long essays, and she wrote it at a time when she—li…

When I wrote this a year ago I had no idea how bad things would get. Today, eight years after she left us, I'm trying to follow Ursula's advice: write and worry. Write and act. Worry and keep writing.

Happy birthday Volts, thanks for all the great work you do. You (and all your smarty guests) have been a huge resource for me in my career thus far.

Also, Volts was born the exact same day as my dog! 🎂

New England’s final coal plant shuts down years ahead of schedule Poor economics drove the aging New Hampshire plant offline three years early, even as the Trump administration pushes to revitalize coal.

New England quits coal!

In so many ways Jrue is a Celtic.
Tenacious, selfless. A champion. A community leader. I only wish he could have been here longer.

Great data viz. Terrible content.

I was explaining this to my partner just the other evening and her response was gold. "Why does this feel like classic batman villains, just hitting the juice on Bane when they've got nothing else working"

3 minutes of Celtics garbage time in a round 1 close out game after being down at the half, as a treat.

That's a great read. Partly yes BQ goals, but also likely people just like round numbers.

Good luck tomorrow!

That's some seriously impressive marathon consistency. Do you usually race them with BQ and the jumpy cutoff times in mind?

The only thing of importance to watch here and now. Vulf for the soul.

There's a long list of guys that like to torch the Celtics out of nowhere. The guys that do it with regularity (Maxey, SGA, Mitchell) are terrifying. Really don't want Cade to make it on to that second list

As a Celtics fan, there's no one player in the east that scares me more than Tyrese Maxey.

In this vein, thanks to @cedricchin.bsky.social for the great writing about the Weekly Business Review. Has been really helpful to me when thinking about all the process pieces needed in addition to explainable metrics in order to make analytics stick.

I def don't fully understand this, at least in part thanks to my limited experience with those types of managers, and with org politics in general.

If the broader org is bought in to being analytics driven but there are managers blocking adoption, what's the path thru? Prove value where you can?

Awesome. Thanks for the replies. As a growing analytics person with an eye for org strategy, I've done a decent amount of reading by Cedric and others on the technical practitioner side, but I still struggle to put all the pieces together as it applies in my own work.

Ah ok. So effective data driven orgs in this context is more about decision makers (managers) gaining more natural visibility and fluency with the org details via metrics and supporting analytics.

Super interested in this point. Is this because a data or analytics team manager is the right organizational node to understand both the details underlying metrics and the levers that could affect them?

After years and years of lurking Twitter, I've come to realize the best part has been learning new things from all you data and energy nerds. Hopeful to be more intentional and open over here and make better use of all the good people have to offer. Cheers!
