In that interview, the new Target CEO gave limp, lukewarm replies about standing up against ICE agents on Target property and also failed to address the firm's stepping away from DEI

As it turns out, being less inclusive is terrible for their business

This was his actual response to the question β€œWhy hasn’t Target taken a stronger stand against ICE?” (Source: AP; link in quoted post)

And people couldn't understand the outrage when Kirk got such treatment. Fly an escort out to move his body. People fired for not saying the right things.
This is idiocracy of the highest order.

And since Trump fired the people who were honestly reporting all the job losses under his regime,

This number is surely much higher.

The rapid expansion of American-owned data centres in the Middle East has opened up a new front for Iran’s retaliation against the US, complicating Gulf ambitions to build multibillion-dollar AI facilities in the region.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities β€” prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack.

Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes.

Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region.

THIS.
Just had this conversation the other day. I would love a diagnosis.
However, I keep getting shoved aside.
So I self-diagnose.
I looked up all the criteria for chronic fatigue. And what do you know? I check off every one.
The inciting incident was the clincher. Also knowing my pain is valid.

It's always us who have to sacrifice. Just tighten your belt, while he flies off to play golf. Just send your sons and daughters, while his plays the crypto market. Just buy 2 or 3 dolls. Just do more with less.
Sounds like a couple of jobs I had.

Yikes! Nope, it's true. I have become much less enamored of multi-tasking in recent years. I used to be the Queen. But then I had a severe burnout, a severe depression, and then I took care of my aunt, who has Alzheimers. Nothing brings you around to being present like caring for a dementia patient.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures!

This sewing needle was made from animal bone some 13,000 years ago.

Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start

If he even lasts that long!
If the GOP could grow a pair, and see that he is not doing ANYONE any good, they might elect to just heave him out the door. It's not as if they haven't got grounds for impeachment.
