I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Very bad day for gilts. There's been a few this year.
Nowhere near as bad as Truss era ofc, but I think that insane time has skewed our perception.
For instance, a rise in 30yr yields such as happened today only happened once in 10 years pre-COVID.
And not once during the 10 years to late 2008.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.
Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?
Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

I did not expect this post to resonate with so many people, but it makes sense considering how many people have been laid off or are going through layoffs rn. Gen X and Millennials were also taught to prioritize work and our careers, only to see homes become too expensive to buy and wages stagnate.
Being laid off feels especially hard when I remember how many times I put my job first before my own health, well-being, and family. When I worked weeknights until 11pm and on weekends to hit production quotas, during PTO, and filed three stories the day before it happened. There's a lot of grief.
