"Firms that kept their DEI policies or voted down anti-DEI shareholder resolutions did just as well financially, even after Trump’s executive order, as firms that didn’t." Important research @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

President Trump famously disparaged military dead by calling them "losers" and "suckers," but apparently he doesn't care much for them when they're alive either.

Criminal slumlord Jared Kushner’s corrupt $5B resort plan in Albania has all but effectively collapsed after the country froze all of his assets that are tied with his money laundering project. Good. Well done to the Albanian people who refused to see this happen.

so, none of this in incorrect (I'm having the procedure next week, not preventative, but b/c I probably have fibroids but no one can tell for sure, so out it all comes, no diagnostics beyond imaging) what's missing is the incredible dearth of options for women 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sBJ...

In 2025, President Donald Trump imposed the largest U.S. tax increase since 1993. It came through tariffs — raising effective rates to their highest level since 1946 and costing households about $1,000 last year. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/last-year-...

do you really need to see your sink from every angle of your main floor? is there a difference in feel between a series of fields with hedgerows and a parking lot/desert? walls cost money -- and in your average long skinny condo, block light from the one window www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFBu...

who asked to be able to see the kitchen sink from every angle of your main floor? more important -- what's the difference in feel between fields with hedgerows and a desert/parking lot? it has something to do with a series of views... www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFBu...
