Hummingbirds going crazy in my backyard.

I am shocked that Dr. McEntarfer's biography is still active on the BLS website. Pleased, actually, but also shocked. #bls
A screenshot from the Bureau of Labor Statistics's website, showing a picture of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the former Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics who was unjustly fired from her position on Friday. In the bottom right corner is the date and time display from my computer; the date is 8/3/2025 and the time is 8:12 PM. This is two days after she was fired. You'd think that the US Department of Labor would be more efficient, but I'm glad they aren't.

Moon over #Jekyll
A close up of the moon as it rises above the Atlantic Ocean. Taken at Jekyll Island, Georgia USA A photo of the moon as it rises above the Atlantic Ocean. The moon is in the upper right corner. Palm trees are on the left and a large flowering bush covers the bottom. The sky is a deep blue, appropriate for dusk. Taken from a hotel balcony on Jekyll Island, Georgia USA.

I'm late to the party. I finally run into a search error from Google AI. It appears that AI doesn't bother to check with federal district judges in Texas. If it had, it would know the HCE test is $107,432. Not that I trusted AI summaries before, but I definitely don't trust them now.
A screenshot of Google search results when I searched for "FLSA Highly Compensated Employee 2025." The AI summary says the annual salary threshold is $151,164, which is incorrect. A US district judge in Texas stopped that in 2024. The US Department of Labor returned to their prior annual threshold, or $107,432.
