This. Just this.
why is everyone saying sinead "battled her own demons?" she was one of very few brave enough to battle real demons: child predators, those who protected them in God's name, homophobia, greed that kills..... she battled demons, yes- but they were us, not her.

Favorite new thing overheard at a bar: “you’re white about that!” I can’t disagree - flaming tech bro white privilege on display. Just another Monday is San Francisco. #whiteprivilege #wokeaintwrong

I had a great conversation with @DaveMichels - we ranged from cocktails to reggae to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Sort of an opportunity to get to know the analyst outside of their domain-specific work. Fun series to watch for any in #cctr #ucaas #uc #chatbots space.
