If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Given the immense vastness of all the music ever created by humanity, it’s such a weird coincidence that the very best songs all happened to be released when I was aged 14-21.

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

Rock songs in the 70s were like "She's a dangerous woman, she'll play you like a fiddle, she'll steal your heart and ruin your life. She's 16."

A new year doesn’t change anything by magic, of course. But life does have its odd rhythms and things can go up abruptly as well as down - as discussed by the Greek tragedies and Alanis Morissette. So if 2024 has been rough on you, keep the faith and good luck as we go round again.

if labour want to destroy reform they don’t need to ban foreign donations, they need to ban outside earnings for mps. no way farage sticks around for a second term if he’s limited to just £80k/pa.

Ofwat is making us pay for decades of criminal behaviour by water companies.
Time to scrap both of them and give the public a real say over the future of our water.

On one hand, we have an abundance of actual research showing no tangible link between phone use and children's health
But on the other hand, 81 year old Simon Jones has watched a sensationalised Channel 4 show featuring a guy from Busted. Obviously, the latter is far more important
