One of the project managers I works with sends us an e-mail summary of every meeting.

I don't want to start a fight, but why the heck are we even generating a document we can't rely on to be accurate?

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country.
But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things.
