Can I just say that I LOVE a context-free meme? We should have one every day, and before you do any work, you have to figure out WTF everyone is talking about. But don't give away the answer... like when we all lost our minds for Wordle in the midst of an existential threat!

"Whenever" = at any time or every time
"Static" = a lack of movement or progress
"Stagnant" = not *flowing*, having no inflow or outflow
Please update your records. To be correct. Because y'all are killing me.

"Cops"-kaesque
This represents Displays of Power As Weakness. An over-armed strike force sent to arrest a paralegal who threw a sandwich. Pathetic and deeply insecure.
The White House posted an insane video of the police arresting the sandwich guy in a safe and wealthy neighborhood.

The Stones aren't my favorite band - but there's just no question when Gimme Shelter or Tumbling Dice or Sympathy for the Devil or Honkytonk Woman or Start Me Up hits that they are simply the best rock band. 🎸

Karen has spoken to The Manager and, well, woe be unto thee who doesn't hop to it when preparing her Venti PSL.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Had to do a quick explainer on how most of the incomprehensible digital behaviors of Boomers and GenXers on the team trace back to our early careers under the Microsoft Monopoly.
