Notably not in attendance: the man who sent her there illegally so she could be killed. He's not ruining his Thanksgiving.

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

So many great openers, I want to talk about album closers. My #1 for this has always been "Moonlight Mile" on Sticky Fingers. (All four of those great late 60s/early 70s Stones albums have great closers, though)

Are we still doing diner journalism? Because today at a greasy spoon in Stateline, Nevada, a 65 year old birder named Maryanne told me that she likes that “Mamdonnelly” fellow and thinks that Donald Trump is a pedophile.

The GOP made this much worse too by gutting the IRA which was basically subsidizing electricity development
Average electricity cost increase since Jan:
Missouri ⬆️ 37%
Iowa ⬆️ 30%
North Dakota ⬆️ 30%
Oklahoma ⬆️ 30%
New Jersey ⬆️ 27%
Nebraska ⬆️ 25%
Montana ⬆️ 25%
Wyoming ⬆️ 23%
NATIONWIDE ⬆️ 11%
Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

I’ve lost my sweet tooth in my old age but a good cupcake still hits for me. Also chocolate cream pie.
Cupcakes are somehow totally different, I can't explain it other than "it's a smaller portion and the moisture of the cake is distributed differently"
