We are proud that Audi AG has selected Georgia as the home of their first U.S. manufacturing facility, delivering a truly historic $4 billion investment to Middle Georgia. We’re looking forward to the 4,500 jobs this will bring, and we are excited for hardworking Georgians in Peach County and this entire region to benefit from this project for decades to come!

Now many of you may already know that I’m quite a big fan of @Erin_Molan. But this monologue I’m about to share, well, it’s just one of the greatest of all time. It’s 9 and something minutes you simply must watch, and MUST reshare so everyone can enjoy.
Take a bow @Erin_Molan. The UN is exposed brilliantly in a masterpiece monologue on @SkyNewsAust. I’ll probably have to share it more than once. It’s that awesome 🩷🩷

An excellent look at what's happened to once-great Western media organizations, in this case NPR, from an insider (@uberliner) for the @TheFP:

When people experience gratitude from their manager, they're more productive. And when teams believe that their colleagues respect and appreciate them, they perform better. s.hbr.org/47P1qDk

“The charred remains of an adult and a child, who were bound together with metal wires in a final, tragic embrace before being set alight. The child was around 10 years old. They were both female”

This is what Hamas barbarians did on October 7th. It’s what they have vowed to do over and over.
It’s what organisations like the @UN/@UN_women and journalists like @OwenJones84/@cenkuygur have repeatedly downplayed or denied.
Shame on them.
I will continue to call out Hamas atrocities until every hostage is free and every Hamas terrorist has faced justice. I apologise for my graphic and unpleasant tweets - unfollow me if you’d like, I won’t take it personally.

The problem with performance reviews is that they hold employees accountable for what they did last year, at the expense of improving performance today and tomorrow. s.hbr.org/48cXKvW

A key to lifelong learning is to see everyone you meet as a potential teacher.
No one has a monopoly on wisdom. Each interaction is a chance to question old assumptions and gain new perspectives.
Collecting lessons from others is the fastest way to fill gaps in your experience.

13 Mind-Boggling Takeaways from Thinking, Fast and Slow:
1. There are Two Systems working in our Heads:
System 1 - Operates automatically and quickly. Without effort and no sense of voluntary control.
System 2 - Operates slowly and precisely. Allocates attention to effortful mental activities.
2. System 2 can hack System 1:
You can reprogram the impulsive, fast decisions of System 1 by turning them from unconscious to conscious.
3. Turning from Unconscious to Conscious:
By using checklists or journals, you stop the automated process of System 1 and force to System 2 to take over.
This is how you prevent biases and psychological errors.
4. Routines and Skill:
As you become skilled in a task, its demand for energy diminishes.
Tasks that previously needed System 2 can now run on System 1.
5. The Law of the Least Effort:
By default, we're wired to perform the least amount of effort possible to perform a task.
6. Flow - The Optimal State:
Flow describes a state of effortless concentration. You lose sense of time, yourself, and other problems.
It's reached when tasks hit the sweet spot of challenging but not too difficult.
7. Genetic Tendency:
Some people are more like their System 1: Impulsive and Intuitive.
Others like their System 2: Prone to Reasoning
8. Mental Effort:
Limit the amount of small decisions you make in a day.
They cost mental energy and decrease the quality of important decisions.
9. Assessing Normality:
The main function of System 1 is to maintain and update a model of your personal world, which represents what normal is.
10. Jumping to Conclusions:
System 1 makes us jump to conclusions quickly to avoid doubt.
Doubt or not knowing makes us uncomfortable.
11. What You See Is All There Is:
We (unconsciously) prefer hearing only one side of the story so we can make a quick decision and be confident about it.
12. Answering Easy Questions:
If we don't find a satisfactory answer quickly, System 1 will change to a related, easier-to-answer question.
13. Cause and Chance:
Our preference for causal thinking exposes us to serious mistakes in evaluating the randomness of truly random events.
