- This 100-minute conversation between @ezraklein & @chrislhayes on what is democracy today. 👌 itun.es/us/JV6Dab.c?i=…
- Wow. The chairman of Transparency International's chapter in Chile resigns after being named in the #panamapapers🔴 IMPORTANTE | Gonzalo Delaveu presentó su renuncia como Pdte.de Chile Transparente, la que ha sido aceptada por el directorio.
- A great, short interview with an old friend, @kenyanpundit, about the lessons she’s learned and what annoys her. Smart, to-the-point, and always insightful. work.qz.com/1175649/ory-ok…

- I hope that this is how I work with the organizations we fund. And call me out if it isn’t. Thanks to @lindsaylouie for putting this together. Four years later, still proud to be working at @Hewlett_Found.
- “When did you last change your mind due to a piece of research or evidence?” A great question for 1) job interviews, 2) debates between political candidates. Also, loved this research experiment: voxdev.org/topic/institut…

- Every non-profit deserves at least 18 months of notice from a donor that stops funding. You can't recruit talent and plan ahead without it. I am a proud and loyal @OpenSociety alumnus, but @AlexanderSoros & @malloch_brown need to be better, less disruptive partners.
- "I don’t understand why INGOs need hundreds of people sitting in the North to support Southern NGOs. Resources get tied to HQ and little goes to the South. Real decision-making about what to do and how is still decided by HQ-based Northern experts.”
- Who wants to move to Portugal with me to start a small company focused on team retreats for remote workers? Part real estate, part tourism company, part network of excellent facilitators. I’m also willing to entertain the island of Mallorca.Replying to @chris_herd✈️ Remote onsites: 60%+ of companies we talk to are already thinking about ways to use time together physically to improve culture The most popular we hear is flying the team into remote locations for ~week. Portugal, Spain, Puerto Rico seem to be the most popular
