These CEOs have to understand that no one in the working class cares what they think about work life balance, right? No one.
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.

I’ve significantly lowered the time the Dominican side of my family schedules dinner for. There’s a good chance we’ll eat before the last football game ends. 😂

My quibble is the vast majority of people are using AI to cheat, give themselves abs, or for porn, and that’s really how it‘s marketed to the general public.
People on BlueSky: AI is useless! A stochastic parrot!

It’s interesting, because DC isn’t very big, so you can play the ”close to the White House“ game by miles devoid of context.
I don’t know who needs to read this but the Farragut Metro station is not the White House.

I’m not saying they are lying, but I’m struck by how quickly people believe law enforcement that‘s become more and more compromised. Remember, when they claimed Kirk’s killer was trans? 🙃

I remember during the first Trump term, one journalist was furious that I criticized individuals that sat on stories for their books. He basically called me dumb and naive. I hope he’s doing poorly now. Sigh
New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:

(Clears Throat) Every day Trump is allowed to remain president and remain a free man is a failure of multiple government institutions.

Explaining unnecessary death to me by saying “Darwin” is an automatic block. Y’all, that‘s the logic of white supremacists. Get it together.

There is no more important job for a parent than protecting their children. The rage I have for people letting their babies die from whooping cough to lean into conspiracy and stupidity. Enough already.

One of the special things about class before thanksgiving is because the numbers dwindle, folks that have wanted to speak the whole year start speaking. They may not be comfortable speaking with 264 in a room but 50ish folks seems inviting. I love it.
