When someone tells you their business is generating "seven figures," it's totally fair to ask between which figures the decimal point appears.

I read a lot of complaints on LinkedIn and elsewhere about how silly the job-seeking process is: Filling in three different forms with the same info, general lack of transparency about salary/benefits, etc. I'm interested to read the explanation of WHY it needs to be like that. Who's defending this?

The 1980s Missouri teenager in me is screaming, “Schools are closed for THIS?” Winter storm, Carolina-style.

“The problem is complex,” says only developed country in the world that hasn’t solved it. The US is to health care what I was to my 9th-grade algebra class.

Any chance we could start calling it the Affordable Care Act and stop calling it Obamacare? Just asking.

Been a year since my dad died. Youngest kid came over for dinner tonight, and we got to comparing genetic quirks (she’s left-handed, can’t roll her tongue and hates cilantro). It gave me an opening to talk about family and re-tell some of the good stories. Very therapeutic. #family

This SNL skit from last night name-checks my hometown’s O’Reilly Auto Parts. Between this, Chappell Roan, and that story a couple years ago in WSJ about Bass Pro trucker hats becoming a celeb fashion accessory, the Springfieldification of America is now complete.
