A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Could I but ride indefinite,
As doth the meadow-bee,
And visit only where I liked,
And no man visit me,
And flirt all day with buttercups,
And marry whom I may,
And dwell a little everywhere,
Or better, run away
-- Emily Dickinson

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I still remember how bad a state every single one of these dogs were in when I found them in various bad situations in Thailand.
This was a surprise from the @happydoggo.com team. Talk about emotional just 3 hours before the Marathon!

The 'crumbling NHS' is in the news, and there are certainly big issues with GP services, but yesterday I had an emergency with mum and an ambulance arrived in half an hour. The hospital ward is clean and newly decorated, there are loads of great staff. Feeling very grateful and relieved.
