2 months ago, we brought GoLemonโs operations to a close.
Thereโs a lot from those 30 months to write about, so Iโm starting with an essay about org charts, the shape of our Growth team & how the work kept changing the team we thought we needed ๐๐พ uberjj.substack.com/p/the-orโฆ

Six years later, not much has changed. Same government, same playbook of fear and intimidation.
Today, right here at the Lekki Toll Gate, citizens gathered peacefully to honor the lives lost six years ago during EndSARS. And how did the authorities respond? By firing tear gas at us.
Let that sink in.
Six years after a generation cried out for basic dignity, safety, and accountability in policing, a peaceful memorial is still met with an unprovoked tear gas attack?
The message is loud and clear, they are still terrified of remembrance, they are still terrified of accountability, and they are still terrified of YOU speaking up.
Expressing grief and sympathy is not a crime. Peaceful assembly and solemn reflection should not be met with state brutality and repression.
Effective governance is not about silencing the streets. It is about building a system that listens, that protects, that includes and that provides for everyone.
To every young person and resident carrying the vision of a better Lagos, never forget that your voice is powerful, that your vote carries your voice and that the ballot is the vehicle through which you can speak loudest and change the story.
We remember, We rise.

The National Theatre was built in 1976.
Recently, it's been beautifully renovated and home to several outstanding events and concerts.
We get to enjoy this because the original design was intentionally grand, world-class, and built to inspire wonder.
50 years gone; and in 200, it'll still be a superb location.
One wonders: how many structures built in the past 50 years can make this boast?

I think the divide over this ad boils down to aspiration vs. realism.
Apple ads typically appeal to our aspirational selves: "this isnโt me today, but I hope it is tomorrow."
With HomeView, Apple seems to be switching it up to: โwow, I feel seen.โ
And the execution almost feels like a Safdie brothers' production. Frantic pacing, overlapping convos, and the exaggerated chaos of everyday family life.
Both approaches can work imo, but weโve become so accustomed to Apple selling us the aspirational version of our lives that seeing it reflect our actual reality feels somewhat jarring.
Why I think the Homeview launch commercial was the weirdest I've seen from Apple in a long time
