While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
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.

The thing about SPG’s “Flamethrower Or No?” game is that it’s pleasantly pervasive. I can play it right now* or while I’m running errands or while I’m at work. I can play it thinking about a set of folks I know well, or the guy who’s bagged our groceries for 20 yrs.
*I am playing it right now.
*I am playing it right now.
Quick game:
List everyone you can think of and then put a Y or N after their name. The question being "WOULD YOU TRUST THIS PERSON WITH A FLAMETHROWER?"
No Maybes.
It is enlightening.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

Today I’m going to attempt, yet again what I have found to be one of the most difficult body weight exercises.
The Bicep Pelican Curl. I’m going to aim for eccentric only to make it more sustainable.
It’s normally with rings but I’m using my TRX. Previous attempts have been pretty rough.

Trans Day of Remembrance,
As a parent I choose to love my child or not.
I choose Love.
For anyone else, you choose to accept or not.
But ask yourself?
Does my non-acceptance, contribute to a dangerous culture of fear?
I don’t think a belief is good if it can cause harm. Do better.

I just want to say that Hip Thrusters are deceptively hard to do and or position yourself properly.
I think accepting that my first rep is mostly about getting my feet in the right place is the way to move forward.

So the worst thing I’ve come up with for NYC 2100 (Twilight 2000 based) is
The Debt Draft, where corporations bought up sizeable masses of personal debt and raised interest so high that it became untenable. They then “offered” to clear that debt but only for service in an overseas conflict.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint - Medical Republic
A massive global study links the chronic pain condition to 26 genes associated with brain signalling, marking a turning point in understanding its biological roots.
