My winter-hearty lunch is packed with protein and fiber goodness:
French lentils and diced potato, steamed together in broth (or water) until tender (about 35 minutes).
Makes a great post-workout dish.
Set it up in the steamer, go work out, and it's ready when you come back.

Yesterday at the new (to me) location, the department manager spent from 5-7am "helping" me, which really was just him standing between me and the work while explaining how amazing our current president is.
This is going to be an interesting assignment.

Q4 usually has so many jobs added for seasonal positions that its impact has to be modified.
Seeing such low numbers in the fourth quarter is an alarm.

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

Who are my US demographic gurus?
I need some reliable data on population impacts and trends for the intersection of mortality and fertility.

This is RFK Jr’s anti-vax movement and his disinformation campaign. And equally as disturbing, some people are perfectly fine with this outcome.

Serious question: What would you be doing differently if we were heading into another Great Depression?
Makes me think of WW2, 1941, and the American govt running out of money barely recovering from the depression and trying to go to war and the blitz on the public to buy ‘war bonds’
But sure the economy’s doing great.

14 yo pressed The Cruel Prince into my hands at the library last night, saying with a serious face, "You have to read it."
So I'm reading it and I can stretch my acceptance of the fantastic pretty far, but no, I cannot accept "Autumn solstice."
Just no.

Art saves lives.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Bezos employs 1.5 million people.
He could improve the lives of families with the stroke of a pen, just by deciding to.
Overnight.
Minimum salary of 75,000.
Cadillac benefits.
Company sponsored daycare and preschool.
On-site clinics.
Transit.
Pensions.
He would still be rich.
Stock would SOAR.
