How language changes over time. Came across this gem in Agatha Christie's 'A Murder is Announced'. "‘Ye gods and little fishes,’ said Sir Henry, ‘can it be? George, it’s my own particular, one and only, four-starred pussy. The super pussy of all old pussies.'" He's talking about Miss Marple.

UPS workers are on the verge of the participating in the largest single-employer strike in history. One of the main reasons for the strike? The lack of protections from heat-related injuries. #Climate justice means worker power.
340,000 UPS drivers poised to strike over extreme heat, safe working conditions
The UPS strike will be the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history. It could frame worker power as an extreme heat solution.
