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.

My phone right now has no working wifi chip so it is only ever using cell service, and it gets stuck on a reset loop if I ever don't have audio running on it so I have to keep a low white noise app running at all times to keep it from burning out its battery
But I'm riding it until it dies

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

A woman got set on fire in the city last night during an argument with a man on the blue line.
The suspect is still at large, but news is likely salivating at the hope that they will be an immigrant or homeless, otherwise this story will be useless to them

Nothing says "not gay" like posting pictures of you with your much younger wife who married you for money, picking fights with your (now ex) white girl bestie, and canceling your day so you can crash out to the phantom soundtrack before dramatically flying off to your gold-encrusted florida estate.
