Joblessness for Black women surges
"When you combine institutional job cuts with shrinking access to inclusive hiring and promotion pathways, the result is structural displacement — not just unemployment, but a forced exit from the labor market altogether"

Mushrooms are gross. Always have been.
Okay, lets do this.

One like, one opinion that's not on politics.

My only contributions to the talking to strangers on planes discourse:
- flying is inherently unpleasant
- the people advancing the “if you don’t talk to me on a plane it’s fascism” line desperately need to log off and have a real conversation with someone, anyone

We did it, everyone. We have reached peak podcast nonsense. Silly premise utterly forced to connect with a head-up-the-ass Big Question™️. Real bang-up work here (of course I’m going to listen).

The Odyssey was a fun read in junior high that I always thought would make a good movie. Until now: gizmodo.com/christopher-...

Continually annoyed that a large chunk of the human population ignores the first "r" in the word "turmeric"

Unemployed workers are staying without jobs longer, a signal that labor demand has cooled

If you need a break from the heaviness of *waves hands around* right now, I highly suggest visiting the subreddit for the CBS show “Fire Country.” www.reddit.com/r/FireCountr...

The earnest devotion to what may be the single most ridiculous program on TV right now is refreshing.

yeremi colino, a teenager stabbed to death in NYC last night by a group of men after he told them he didn’t speak english, deserves as much attention as the healthcare CEO, if not more. let’s give it to him. www.amny.com/new-york/man...
Of course, this story doesn't get the front page coverage that a CEO's murder does.

I have turned off ad-block on Chrome and have opened myself to the full horrors of the ad-supported web. Pages are freezing, I am unintentionally clicking on pop ups, I can't read an article at all.

Was just at my local grocery store and overhead a manager talking to employees about facial recognition. While my purchases are banal at best and this isn't a new development, it's yet another reminder that tech is mostly enabling a new way to squeeze an extra dollar out of consumers

The end of the movie “Knowing” is audience wish fulfillment - it’s so boring that viewers wish for a world-destroying solar flare to escape it.

This is legit annoying - I wouldn’t be surprised if this an effect of Rite Aid’s bankruptcy. (See the first reply to the video for the correction)

The company’s only real assets are its inventory - you can’t sell off leased space in strip malls and no one wants old branded POS terminals
I get the need to safeguard from shoplifting but this CVS setup is insane.

While you’re shopping today, could you all please consider helping out my sister and her partner, who’ve been facing a really tough time?

This is one of the rare times I’ll be earnest here: thanks to anyone who decides to help.

While you were listening to the new Opeth (which is very good, btw) , I was listening to this brutal, techy #deathmetal that was recommended to me. It’s fun and gurgly

Today is a perfect day to invent a new household tradition and enforce it upon your unsuspecting dinner guests.

Shoes off inside? Yes

Listening to Slayer’s “Reign in Blood” 3x before eating? Why not!

Only acceptable discussion topic is the forthcoming Mortal Kombat movie sequel? You bet!

If you just eat the pie then buy one at a grocery store (they’re probably open) near your destination, who’s gonna know?

Today is the day the nation collectively pretends that straight-off-the-bird turkey is a pleasing main course.

Tomorrow, families will face the shock and horror of realizing how much leftover turkey they have to get through.

The real answer is one of those of straight-to-TV Hallmark movies that stars a pop star from the early aughts you see and say aloud “oh, that’s what they’ve been up to.”

The most annoying holiday movie will forever be “Elf”.

As a journalist, I can confidently say that nearly every conversation I have, even as part of my profession, is decidedly not worth persevering with a permanent digital record.

A college diploma's perceived value has clearly diminished as university-educated workers lacking job experience are finding their job searches roughly as difficult as the ones facing their peers without diplomas. www.spglobal.com/marketintell...
