RTO is forces attrition
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

I loved Loved LOVED the opening with a fireplace and the miniature chairs he'd nudge into position with his giant finger.
On Sept. 30, 1958, Canadian children were treated to a new show.
It featured a giant who told them to "look up!...waaaaaay up!"
For the next 27 years, the show was a fixture on CBC and is beloved to this day.
This is the story of The Friendly Giant!

Many medical supplies are manufactured outside of the US. I would buy additional KN95, N95 and KF94 masks now, as well as any medical supplies you regularly rely on. Even basics like bandages, Aquaphor, medicated lotion and pimple patches. Order that stuff asap.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.

She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.

This is what bans do.

Saskatchewan teachers had to go on strike to get a third-party arbitrator to add more teachers to schools. The govt fought us tooth and nail to AVOID adding extra support into classrooms. This billboard is incredibly hypocritical. I know what I'd do if I drove by it. Just sayin'. 🙄

Trump says a lot of weird shit about owning Gaza. It's upsetting. I get it.

Meanwhile with the other hand, Elon is taking the Bureau of Labor Statistics next and you'll never have impartial economic data again.

Keep your eye on the ball.

Yes, this. Silence is how they get away with it.

To my colleagues in government: don’t resign. Make them fire you. Stand up for your profession and yourselves. Fight back, however you can. That last part applies to those of us not in government, as well.
One of the questions after my talk today was about scientists refusing to buck the administration because they fear losing their jobs.

I said that a lot of self-styled apolitical scientists lost their jobs this week, so silence will not save them. Respond and keep your values and dignity.
