One more, not Byzantine at all. AFTER THE DOWNFALL is a man-who-learned-better fantasy inspired by Andre Norton's WITCH WORLD. A German officer who magically escapes falling Berlin finds the world he lands in isn't what he thought at first.

The waste generated from unsold clothes in Europe creates over 5 million tons of CO2 annually. This new rule would ban the destruction of unsold clothes and shoes, pushing companies to manage their stock better and focus on other options like reuse or donations. #goodnews
Heh!
Sometimes when my eyes spring open at two am I reach for silly stuff to read me back to sleep. Last night it was my old copy of Bored of the Rings. Holy crom is it dated! Would anyone born after 1980 get any of the references?
Who else loathes daylight « savings » time? 🤬🤮
Whenever I say we should return to 1940-1980 tax levels for the super wealthy (billionaires) of 91%+ marginal tax I hear, "If you do that, billionaires will leave the USA."
To which I say:
1. Promise? Because it didn't happen last time.
2. Don't threaten me with a good time.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
Sadly there seems to be an endless number of evil, incompetent ass-clowns out there, and Trump will surely find them, like flies to 💩

Every day.
Look, when the day comes, it's going to be very hard to get some people to get off the "norms/turn the page" bandwagon, but the least, and already established, thing we can do is prosecute the fuck out of everyone for perjury. All these people have lied under oath. Start there, at the lowest bar.
A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.
May this set a precedent.
Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.
It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.
NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
Ted Lieu to Kristi Noem: “I just showed you a video with ICE officers at a school drop-off location — your refusal to commit to stopping these operations at or near schools & drop-off locations is why you're failing — so I'm going to show you this video that encapsulates why you're failing”
