Al Sayed is much more feisty than many of the other left-leaning candidates running for office this cycle. It’s refreshing to see.

a reason that Stevens lost and other AIPAC candidates are losing despite the huge infusions of money is that Dem voters don't want to vote for a candidate who is funded by the same org who will immediately turn around and fund the Republicans

AIPAC: "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."

Really tired after waking up at 5:30am this morning to beat the heat and get in a 5.5mi run, put in a full day at the office, and then joined the boys for a 2.5 hour climbing session tonight. But I also don't want to miss watching Haley Stevens eat shit. 🤔

Rodgers has more money than any one person could possibly need and yet he's absolutely miserable guy and an awful hang, and in 6 months he'll be completely irrelevant.

I spent 30 minutes on LinkedIn tonight trying to track down a job posting I saw on the company's internal and my conclusion is that people have lost all sense of dignity.

The people should own some of the means of production - say, utilities, production of drugs like insulin and devices like asthma inhalers - as a treat.

For the third time in as many weeks, I've received an unsolicited fit compliment from a random female stranger around town. Each time, I was wearing modern fatigue pants, rough out Indy boots, a colorful button down shirt and a color matched hat. Do with this information what you will.

As always, limiting the employment options of workers = a major upper hand for employers. Interesting that their calculations still weigh the current employer/employee model as being favorable to employers vs MFA.

About 24% of U.S. employees stay in unwanted jobs just for health insurance, a report out Wednesday finds. Up significantly since 2021, the uptick in "job lock" is a concerning sign for the U.S. economy. n.pr/4gQIY5E

Gov. Tim Walz has ordered all flags at state buildings to be flown at half-staff in honor of Senator Lindsey Graham, following a proclamation by President Donald Trump.

This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.

Major bummer. Requiescat in pace, Sam.
