I said this elsewhere but it bears repeating: There is not ONE JOB worth staying silent for when hearing a "superior" say "quiet piggy" to another. Those other reporters should be ashamed. SPEAK UP.

I rented a dress for a wedding (local shop) and am not buying new clothes this year, but this quote: "Jackets and outerwear prices rose 24% on average over the past year" is another stunning example of how bad things are since the new administration took over.
More women are planning to deck the halls in rented fashion this year, just as inflation and tariffs are poised to push clothing prices higher. n.pr/47Iu2S6
More women are renting dresses, coats and ugly sweaters as clothing prices tick up

Saudi officials used President Trump’s state visit in May to pique his interest in a major real estate development, the latest example of Trump blending governance and family business, particularly in Persian Gulf countries. nyti.ms/4r7mboU

Trump isn’t blaring Phantom of Opera because he loves Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Have y’all never seen a mob movie? When the bad guys are worried the place has been bugged, they blast music. Trump doesn’t want anything he’s saying to be recorded.
Just something to chew on for a bit.

"I don't want to hear about affordability."
Says the president who promised to lower costs on Day 1.
60% of households are unable to afford the basics — and he just doesn’t care.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Going to try to read the Booker shortlist (except for one that isn't in US yet)...currently reading Audition and just started Flashlight. Any recos for which one to read as an audiobook? #booksky #bookerprize

That episode of Adolescence (each one shot in one take!!) where the camera flies up into the sky and comes back down to continue shooting was 💯. Such a powerful, heartbreaking, and clever show.
