My new manager told me they are excited about the positivity and energy I am bringing to the team.
Having never heard those words in that order before, I thought “surely this is some kind of trap”

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Zuck recently said he wanted to see a return of “masculine energy” to corporate culture.
I don’t know what this is, but it ain’t that.

I hope Thomas cited Rush in the opinion.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court, on a 7-2 vote, says that doing nothing can mean that you have done something. An "omission," Thomas writes for the court, can be the "use of physical force" and, hence, a "crime of violence."

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 23-825
SALVATORE DELLIGATTI, PETITIONER U.
UNITED STATES
ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
[March 21, 2025]
JUSTICE THOMAS delivered the opinion of the Court.
Title 18 U.S. C. §924(c)(3)(A) defines a "crime of violence" to include a felony that involves the "use of physical force" against another person. In the context of a closely related statute, we have held that "the knowing or intentional causation of bodily injury necessarily involves the use of physical force." United States v. Castleman, 572 U. S. 157, 169
(2014). This case asks whether that principle extends to
§924(c)(3)(A) and, if so, whether the principle holds in cases where an offender causes bodily injury by omission rather than action. We answer both questions in the affirmative.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreias7u53dlkk2r27kobpwkb266663ha5aklltmrwrv6gj7wtkoadjq@jpeg)

Trump Recession Timeline:
1. This will be a Golden Age on Day 1! Prices will come down and economy will boom!
2. These policies won’t cause a recession. We know what we’re doing.
3. Ok, it will cause short-term pain but will be good in long term.
4. This is Biden’s recession!
