This feels like the final “thing” we haven’t been able to accomplish at the intersection of political grandstanding and identity.

Copenhagen comes to … Texas? I live in Fort Worth, Texas, which is probably as synonymous with F-150 trucks as any place in America, so while there is a vibrant trails system in that city (along the Trinity River), most people would probably not associate “biking” with a place called “Cowtown” or oft-defined as a leader in the oil and gas space. Anyway. Last summer, as part of my DINK-ness, I went to Scandinavia for 10 days. I started that trip in Copenhagen for three days.

Angela Hammond from Clinton, Missouri. I believe this case happened in 1991. Yes, in fact I just did what we refer to as a “quick Google” and it happened on April 4, 1991 — so over 34 years ago at this point. Angela Hammond was a young woman in Clinton, Missouri, which is part of the generalized Ozarks region. She was dating a young man named Rob, who was a multi-sport high school athlete. They were both around 19–20.

There are many myths out there about the female condition around empathy and support. If you want probably the clearest socio-cultural or political version of the idea that women don’t support other women, just look at Trump’s two national electoral victories. Both were against women (he’s actually 0–1 vs. a man), and these two wins came despite Trump being generally awful to women for years and years at this point.

Much moral panic. In our seeming sociocultural race these days to make sure every woman likes penis and doesn’t have multi-colored hair and wants to produce three to five kids with Larry from Analytics Lab, we have a big moral panic about women who do OnlyFans, essentially deeming it “prostitution” or “the Demise of society” or whatever else. In that you are receiving money from someone to perform some type of sexual kink on a camera, it’s a form of prostitution, semantically.

What’s the identity you think you need to portray — vs. your real identity? Or, blissfully, are they the same? Back in 2003, I was the senior class President of Georgetown University (I’ve fallen far, I know) and I got to speak not at commencement, but at an earlier-week event called “Convocation.” The keynote that day was Maria Shriver, so I got to meet her in the green room. She had her dad (“Sgt.

One model that a lot of people embrace, but are reluctant to admit they embrace. A few Sundays ago, I was sitting in a diner after church and somehow, some way, I came across a random article on my phone that was written by a kid who I was decent friends with at the end of high school. He’s now a professor. Ivy League twice over, baby! Seems to have been at University of Michigan, and is now at Georgetown.

We all know the time fades, and the psychological repercussions of that are vast. I have one friend who is perpetually on the verge of another baby announcement, and you can always tell when it’s coming because about six to ten weeks before, he will say something like, “(name of wife) is getting sad about the kids getting older.” And then, bam, here we go. I am not sure this is the soundest economic strategy, but I am also not in their bank accounts and investment portfolio, so I know nothing.

Kill it with fire. The silo effect is everywhere in business. If you’ve never heard of the concept and have some strength to lift off the rock you’ve been living under, here’s the deal: for decades (centuries?), we’ve organized business according to functional expertise. That, in turn, creates silos. Silos are essentially departments. So you’ve got marketing, sales, IT, operations, etc.
