Whatever the reason for the big drop in entry-level hiring (I don't buy the "AI" narrative, sorry), it's weapons-grade short-termism.

Employers will have earned the future skills/experience drought they're creating.

In today’s “terminology matters”:

❌ Return To Office policy: middle-management language that assumes “office” is a neutral position, we’re somehow “returning to”. This term has been carefully crafted by corporate strategists to sound as palatable as possible.

✅ Mandatory Commute policy: centers the outcome for workers - spending hours each day on an unpaid commute to and from the office just so we can be on video calls all day.

We don’t just have to accept hostile framing.

Above all, Zionism is a crime against humanity. Dedicated to the oath of the survivors of Mauthausen concentration camp, handed down to us as testimony of resistance against Nazi fascism, we follow their universal legacy and reiterate their message:
“The permanence in the camp, lasting years, has reinforced in our minds the knowledge of the value of brotherhood among the people of all nations. True to these ideals, we make a solemn oath to continue to fight, firm and united, against imperialism and against the instigation of hatred between peoples.”

my mom is apparently going to her local lib protest tomorrow and told me she had to stop and get milk in the morning "for pepper spray etc."

DO NOT DO THIS.

DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES.

USE WATER. DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES.

DO NOT. PUT. MILK. IN. YOUR EYES.

it doesn't do anything water can't do

it makes a mess

it takes you from having pepper spray in your eyes to having pepper spray and also milk in your eyes.

DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES.

New theory on crash of Air India 787 suggests major systems failure

Clearer video appears to show that the RAT -- the Ram Air Turbine -- had deployed on the 787 just after takeoff and before the crash. The RAT is a small wind turbine designed to provide electrical power and/or hydraulic power in case of extreme emergency with those systems. On the 787 it reportedly deploys automatically and cannot be deployed by pilots.
