So let’s think about this.

A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.

The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

This really shows where America’s priorities are now, and how little it actually cares about Ukraine, its sovereignty, or its territorial integrity. Trump and his circle are focused only on media wins. The U.S. has completely lost its credibility as the so-called guardian of democracy and freedom.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

Relatives of a Ukrainian serviceman who had been listed as killed and even buried heard his voice for the first time after his return from captivity. The moment came after the fighter was freed in a prisoner exchange and contacted his family following years of uncertainty. #Ukraine

Even if you do usually vote Republican, most of us can agree at this point that the administration has gone way, way too far.

The announcement to end S and X for robots that even Tesla can't get to work in the factory should, IMO, give the board reason to question company leadership. But here we are.

The Christian Science Monitor has been drowned out in the digital age. Can new leadership revive it? - The Boston Globe A new crop of leaders at its Back Bay newsroom is trying to reverse years of decline.
