I can't think of a time when someone spoke so eloquently with their outfit choice as Lewis Hamilton did today & I remain in awe of how wisely he's using the power he has earned. Truly on a completely different level than his peers.

FTC and GM have agreed to a 5-year ban on selling drivers' geolocation and behavior data to reporting agencies.
The ban, part of a new settlement, relates to an investigation finding consumers weren't aware their data was being used by insurance firms to set rates.

i like to imagine this is a mistake that no one noticed until it was published so now they have to stick with it

Self-limited aspirations happens when women rationally decide it is not worth the energy, time or mental health to take the next step forward, as I told@shannonrwatts.bsky.social. It is possible to dismantle these beliefs. Check out Shannon's book FIRED UP. shannonwatts.substack.com/p/in-a-world...

Too many women believe they're too old, too busy, or too inexperienced to go after what they really want, but none of that is true

If you're looking for a fun project, I suggest explaining this ad to a bunch of 10-year olds familiar w/ gardening. Who wants weeds delivered? Why? Why is there an astronaut? What does the moon have to do with weeds? Do phones work in space?

What do you all use for podcasts? I'm determined not to mix music & podcasts (so can't go w/ Spotify) but now that Google Podcasts is being sunset I don't know what to switch to. Amazon? Something else? What's even out there? 🤔

'Wherever you get your podcasts' is such a funny sentence. As if we're all out there hunting for podcasts in different places each day.
