He did what he was hired to do,
What he was qualified to do:
A bad job.

It's snowing. It was in the 80s yesterday.

Eric and Donald Trump Jr investing in military drone venture President’s sons announce new defense hardware venture less than two weeks into conflict with Iran

Eric & Don Jr. are turning the Iran war into a family business.

Trump starts war.

Trump bans foreign drone rivals (DJI).

Sons merge their golf co with Powerus to sell 10k drones/mo to the Pentagon.

Their own bank brokers the deal.

The ultimate conflict of interest.

I think I'm also going to send an invoice along with my opt-out. Let's see: 40 million users who had access to ""my"" bad writing advice (per Grammarly themselves) x 220ish days that Expert Review has been live x a very modest $0.01 per day per user....

I'm thinking of the high heel party and the low heel party in Liliput in Gulliver's Travels.

Money & nepotism. His dad is rich and he married a rich man's daughter. As much as we'd like to think we're a meritocracy, we aren't.

Continuing Chaos at DC’s Only Psychiatric Hospital Former workers at the Psychiatric Institute of Washington are making disturbing new allegations about violence and misconduct at the facility.

Letting a facility get away with abuse of patients and disregard for staff safety because it's the only game in town.
I have visited people in 5 psychiatric hospitals in 3 states + DC. PIW was the worst.

Cartoon of Pete hegseth on a ladder next to the seal of the Department of Defense. "Defense" has been crossed out and "War" has been painted in red next to it. Hegseth appears to have crossed that out and is now painting "Conflict."

We want you to enjoy the library, but if you keep upsetting the trash cans, I'm going to have to ask you to leave for the day.

Voices: Reading age-appropriate books about sexual assault would have helped me as a kid. Today’s students deserve better. β€œProtecting kids and teens from discussions about sex is not saving them from assaults. And books are not causing the assaults,” writes Shannon Hale in an op-ed. β€œBut books can aid in clarifying what ...

The way he centers kids always makes me happy. There are so many parents who should read this.

It's up to us to make them spectacularly wrong about that.

You're right. Still, I hope it doesn't work out that way. So many things to protest, so little time.

This is why the admin keeps stating different objectives. At any time, they can claim victory by picking the goal that matches the action taken.

Yeah, I filed for divorce. I came home from work one day to find my former spouse had packed up the car to leave. Just like he never bothered with any emotional labor, he couldn't be bothered to do the paperwork to leave me.

Dark chocolate-covered rice cakes sound like a sad consolation prize, but at the moment, I feel these things are sublime. The chocolate has a coffee-y, cherry-y taste and the crunch is lovely.
