One of the most important things I’ve learned about building teams is that a star player with a bad attitude can sink the entire team.
It’s extremely rare that the brilliance of a “brilliant jerk” overcomes the damage that comes from them being a jerk.

Honestly "Don't Engage, Just Block" has transformed my social media experience so profoundly that it's hard for me to describe. It's just so much better to be online now.
i also liked the fact that most of us who had come from the other site had the mentality of not giving "bad actors" the benefit of the doubt on here , and told all to block, not mute, an move on

When The Simpsons started I was a year younger than Lisa. Now I'm older than Homer and Marge.
It's not nice rewatching a show from my childhood about adults and realising I'm now much older than all the main characters.
