Hello, I’m Michael Sliwinski, founder of Nozbe - to-do app for business owners and their teams. I write essays, books, work on projects and I podcast for you using #iPadOnly in #NoOffice as I believe that work is not a place you go to, it’s a thing you do.

🙁 🎬 Why USA re-elected a convicted felon, liar, racist and simply the worst of men?

Monday, November 11, 2024 /trump/

Today is Monday, November 11, it’s Independence Day in my home country of Poland yet I’m still thinking about the US elections last week and I’m trying to process what happened. Billionaires called it and despite smart people warning against it, America knew how awful Trump was, yet re-elected him. I think Jon Stewart said it best:

Tuesday, November 5, 2024 /fcktrump/

Yesterday I wrote about billionaires and their newspapers like Washington Post or LA Times not having the freedom (or guts) to endorse Kamala Harris. Shame on them. Today New York Times posted a great paragraph showing why we have to get rid of Trump and aspiring autocrats like him once and for all:
