Fortunately, I was able to verify my son’s safety after receiving this not-suspicious text message by walking upstairs and asking him how he could lose his phone in his own room and why he called me dad.

#NowSpinning A wondrous Kullervo from Saraste. I have never understood why this isn’t mentioned much, though it may be because it was released as an appendix to Saraste’s second - and much less successful - Symphony cycle on Finlandia. But try it. It’s a great performance.

Amazon plans to cut 30,000 corporate jobs in response to pandemic overhiring
Figure represents nearly 10% of the company’s roughly 350,000 corporate employees

The figure represents a small percentage of Amazon’s 1.55 million total employees, but nearly 10% of the company’s roughly 350,000 corporate employees. This would represent the largest job cut at Amazon since around 27,000 jobs were eliminated starting in late 2022. Continue reading...
