TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

That way, when government shuts down, so does golf. You'll never see another shutdown again.

Looking at centuries-old headstones in an old cemetery, I am struck by not only how many children died, but also young women of childbearing age, & whole families who died within a week or two of one another
Improvements in medical science & sanitary engineering brought us far
Let's keep 'em, OK?

I'll fire just as many of you losers as it takes to improve the employment numbers, goddammit!
And I don't want to hear any griping about morale either.

Trump responds to his failure to create jobs by firing the U.S. labor statistics chief
Confronted with evidence of his own failures, the president could've changed direction. He instead found it easier to fire his labor statistics chief.

Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.
