ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

Walmart: evil.
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

This Thanksgiving we are so grateful that we get to know turkeys in ways that most people don't. Here are ten awesome things we love about turkeys! 🦃
1. Their gorgeous plumage. Most people think turkeys are just "brown" but their feathers have beautiful patterns, colors, and iridescence!

Deeply saddened that heroic National Guard Spc. Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia has died.
Praying for her family and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe as he valiantly battles for his life.
Together we must find a way to better protect those patriots who bravely defend and serve our nation.

I remember hearing of an invitation to a Regimental Ball (or some such occasion) that started “Officers and their ladies, NCOs and their wives, and Other Ranks and their women, are cordially invited…"
Adding to the growing pool of cultural exploration, my wife was not fully aware of the full depth of the chasm separating officers and enlisted in the British Army, or of how unusual it was for junior enlisted to enter, much less eat at, an Officer's Mess.

Worse yet, they say, it’s coming even before cuts to Medicaid in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act take effect and the potential expiration of Obamacare subsidies at year’s end. The charities are warning of exploding medical debt and lower survival rates for diseases like…
Politico on the rising number of Americans facing catastrophic medical insurance costs: "The Trump economy is not focusing on the root causes of why health care costs are so high in this country."
Americans are buckling under medical bills. It could get worse.
