They sent people they fired “excepted” letters too. “Hey! We fired you last month, but your job is important, so show up tomorrow to work. Please.”

There used to be bushes and then a fence at the bottom of the hill. Then kids rushed the field and a bunch of people got squished against the bushes and the fence, so they took them out.

This was the shocking revelation (which I know, lol) from “Careless People” the Facebook book. Over & over again decision are made not because they’re evil but because it something may grow the user base or something is hindering growth. Without ever stopping to even think about anything else.

Not only do you have to leave your family and job for 29 days to stand around in DC while school starts, your next weekend of Guard duty is going to be spent learning how to stand properly.

Also, with at all those hands-in-pockets, some sergeant major, somewhere is having a stroke.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

This is one of these things I do for a living! Try to prevent people from planting trees in deserts and prairies.

Fiiiine, apparently half my readers enjoy an info dump, so here we go!

Grasslands Sequester Carbon Too or “Why trees are not the be-all and end-all.”

Ahem. *takes a sip of water*

Kingfisher & Wombat @tkingfisher.com · Jul 25

I THINK they’re mad because of the hardscaping? Not entirely sure.

(One guy tried to claim it didn’t store CO2. Do you want a lecture on prairie carbon sequestration? Because this is how you get a lecture on prairie carbon sequestration.)

Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S:

Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier.
Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready."
Five stars. Will absolutely return.
