For my next domestic flight, I’m going to wear my oldest stained sweats, unwashed for weeks, after I’ve slept in them and used them as a napkin while eating buffalo wings.

If you don't want to do a review the old-fashioned way, better to decline the request.

This is the truth. When I worked in an office, I went to lunch, napped in my car, talked to people down the hall. WFH, I’m answering international emails at midnight, and I rarely take a day completely off—even weekends.
I am a County employee who works from home. I say the opposite is true. I work too hard from home, I barely take a break. In the office we used to take breaks, walk and socialize. They are getting a higher production level from me, for sure.

Headline feels insensitive right now, but the (2018) content is thoughtful and informative, especially if you have little or no experience of “the west.” It’s meant to burn. This isn’t Newsome. It’s partly climate change. And clearing brush isn’t the answer.

The Case for Letting Malibu Burn - Longreads
