AI might save time in reviewing CVs, but it is eliminating women at a record speed. Many women over age 45, consider consulting or coaching. But we can't all be coaches & consultants. We need hiring practices to tap into our generation of resourceful women. www.thenewworld.co.uk/jamie-klingl...

Are you over 45 and female? Sorry, you’re not getting a job

New recruiting processes are sidelining accomplished women at what should be the very peak of their careers

Finished this last night. Very good, especially if you’ve read some Didion. Still making my way Through Slouching Toward Bethlehem, but have read Play It As It Lays and The Year of Magical Thinking. Weaves America, Hollywood and Didion’s writing and perspective together well. #Booksky

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

Companies don’t want to pay for expertise. Younger hiring managers are afraid of being found out, and men are afraid of women who know more than them. Meanwhile, mediocre men fail upwards and create toxic workplaces and operational risk 💁🏻‍♀️

Women ages 40+ searching for jobs may find their decades of experience as a hindrance. Some remove dates and years of experience from their resume. It is another way women are considered 'never quite right'. www.thetimes.com/money/family...

I am in NYC. There were two overflow morgues within blocks of my apartment. I used to have to walk past one every day when walking my dog. The ambulances suddenly seemed to go quiet--because when they got to people, sometimes they were already gone. I saw people coming out in body bags too often.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

The thing about us hyper vigilant girlies is that we have uncanny pattern recognition skills and run scenarios 24/7. This can be exhausting, but is also a super power. We warned you.

i started this train of thought as a joke but now i do think there's something to the idea that the way to sell the green revolution to the US public is that we're being denied Good Deals on cheap chinese cars and solar panels and there's nothing more unamerican than saying we can't have a good deal

This is a remarkably extreme statistic. Bordeaux, France has recorded more days >40°C in 2026 than in the entire 105 year period combined dating back to 1920 when records began. This summer has been so far above extreme it’s difficult to put into words. Chart: @WxNB_
