Though he will in all likelihood achieve some short-term gains, in the medium and long term, Trump is impoverishing the US in every meaningful measure of power: political, economic and ideological.

The legitimacy of US power matters, but it already may be too late to save it.

Trump has now explicitly affirmed the right to choose or veto leaders in Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Honduras and Argentina, and implicitly Brazil and various European countries.

This is a direct violation of sovereignty and self-determination, which are bedrock foundations of any international order.

Happy Holi, New York City!

Growing up, Holi was more than a celebration of spring – it was a chance to embrace joy & revel with family.

AI’s Impact on Contact Center Staffing – The Bittersweet Update For some business leaders who have difficulty finding and retaining contact center agents, AI has stretched an existing workforce. Other leaders have been able to cut their contact center staffing.

Call centers are laying off, AI is handling routine comms. Two articles with different levels of hype.

What happens when an AI handles the routine comms and is engaged by the routine-comms AI on the other side? What value is that level of communication? Identity, formal statement of purpose.

I would send him money if he switched parties and started voting and acting like Robert Byrd.

But he is not made of that metal.
