Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

What’s next? Conspiracy of slowing down already slow ICE agents? Using bicycles instead of walking?

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 2d

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"With a Congress of quislings on one side and a super-conservative Supreme Court giving him home field advantage on the other, Trump’s perpetual wrongness on the merits actually *strengthens* his pure-power appeal." www.thebulwark.com/p/totally-br...

Yes, for pre clearance. Now it applies to all travellers.

Being photographed when in transit is something that Canadians who visit the United States will need to get used to: the country is advancing a plan to photograph Canadian travellers when they enter and exit the country by all modes of transport.

Anybody who thinks that Trump and the GOP won’t try to steal the midterms (and future elections) in the most blatant manner is not paying attention.

My friend Monday, about to launch another life lesson directly into my face. Every week it’s something new, somehow dumber, and I still fall for it like I’m stuck in Groundhog Day — only this rerun drops every Monday morning.

Nobody expected the Great Vowel Shift! Warning to newbie time travelers: go back too far and you’ll sound like a demonic gargler who can’t conjugate. Take a linguist, a tetanus shot, and maybe a holy relic. The locals won’t understand a word you say, but they’ll definitely think you’re possessed.

How Far Back In Time Could You Go And Still Understand English?

In the 15th-18th century, English vowel sounds shifted, and nobody really knows why.
