Andrew LeaheyReading the NYTimes op-ed page these days I’m left wondering about the theoretical possibility of a knife so dull it actually unsharpens the rest of the cutlery in the drawer.

Qasim Rashid, Esq.The Missouri GOP is trying to pass state House rules that ban women from the right to bare arms.
No, literally, they're trying to ensure women don't show their bare arms. This is your part of "small government."
And FYI the Missouri GOP banning women from showing their bare arms isn’t a sign of Shariah or Taliban—it’s a sign of right wing “Christian” extremism in the U.S. Govt.
Stop deflecting extremism in America as something foreign. It’s 100% American. Admit it. Own it. Work to stop it.
Max KennerlyOne nice thing about American law is how you can often state what the law is in a neutral, unbiased, objective manner and it still sounds deranged and Kafkaesque.
"A U.S. government panel tasked with crafting federal sentencing policy on Thursday proposed curtailing the ability of judges to impose longer sentences on criminal defendants based on conduct for which they were acquitted at trial, a practice that the U.S. Supreme Court is considering addressing."

TheJenI have a question for #writers #authors :
My husband has been trying to write a book (technical engineering book) and has been struggling with focus.
I have been seeing these e-ink screen devices made specifically for helping writing focus.
Is this something that actually works? Would it be a good gift, or just wasted?
Please boost for visibility. Please? Thank you.
This is something I know exactly nothing about.
Awfully funny watching how members of different generations approach the Mastodon tools.
Boomers: Barely here. They're on Facebook
GenX / Older Millenials: OH yeah we remember this. *Sets up account and moves on, unflapped*
Young millenials / GenZ: OMGWTFBBQ IS THIS? I HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS? I DON'T LIKE THIS. TELL ME WHAT TO DO, DADDY.
PS: Since there are a whole lot of you who somehow seem to think I'm dissing whomever:
THIS IS A JOKE. I AM SORRY YOU ARE A HUMORLESS FUCK.

Kathy Baxter@tiffanycli And companies that force employees back to work disempower the very individuals that were able to thrive in remote work environments.
Remote work strengthens #diversity & #inclusion (https://pilot.co/blog/how-remote-work-strengthens-diversity-and-inclusion).
It's also better for the environment because less carbon is produced needlessly commuting, heating/cooling large buildings, etc. Long commutes to expensive downtowns that employees can't afford to live in are not #sustainable.
