There’s a lot of political commentary about Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning, but one important point is this: she entered Congress in 2021 with an estimated net worth of about $700,000, and is leaving in 2025 with a net worth of roughly $25 million.

The most prolific at-large murderers in the US are private car drivers. Maybe also road designers.

Last call for a reasonable or free ticket to #sfruby starting tomorrow #sfba #ruby #conferences
This would ideally go toward someone in between jobs, or a student, or someone who can’t orherwise pay for the ticket, but it really just should get used by anyone.

A career tip I'm still really bad at.

Ask them anyways.
In general, it's legit people's jobs […]
