Very, very important finding.
We find that community violence explains up to 1 in 5 anxiety cases at population level in NI.

I know they are man-repellents (let’s face it, I have no chance at this point anyway), but I’m so excited to have finally gotten a new pair of wide-leg farmer jeans (overalls). I waited months for them to go on sale, and voila!

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.

It's Thanksgiving! Are you getting your eels ready? It's tradition!
The 1st Thanksgiving included a big table full of eels. And it's fitting. Tisquantum brought eels to the starving pilgrims that spring to celebrate their new treaty w/ the local Wampanoag tribe. 1/5

What in the fresh AI hell is this? Like, I even tried reading the paper and had to stop - a blood vessel burst in my brain because none of it made any sense.
This raises a very real question about how we talk about AI. To call this slop is to downplay the fact that it was published in an esteemed journal. We used to call such things fraud, but this suggests the publisher is innocent. AI has changed the terms of debate. We urgently need new norms.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

If Hegseth follows through and actually charges him with sedition then say hello to the next President of the United States...Mark Kelly
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
