This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

Catherine O’Hara died today, at 71. In an interview from 2019, the actor talked about her early days in comedy, why dating Eugene Levy didn't work out, and her approach to improv (“when in doubt, play insane”). Revisit their conversation: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/L9Xdws

There will likely be media outside Irish cinemas today asking people why they're among the few going to watch 'Melania'.
Wasting everyone's time in the same way they wait for Enoch Burke to turn up at the school.

![The parable of the Nazi Bar, a screenshot of a series of tweets by Michael Tager (in a screenshot from Google Images).
It's a long text and I'm not going to transcribe it here, but this Wiktionary explains it link and full Wiktionary definition below):
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nazi_bar
Popularized by an anecdote shared by Michael B. Tager (@IamRageSparkle) on Twitter in July 2020. Tager recounted visiting a "shitty crustpunk bar" where he saw a patron abruptly expelled: the bartender explained that the man was wearing "iron crosses and stuff", and that he feared such patrons would become regulars and start bringing friends if not promptly kicked out, which would lead him to realize "oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now" only after the unwanted patrons became too "entrenched" to kick out without trouble.[1][2] (Instances of people noting that if a bar starts serving Nazis other customers stop going and it becomes a Nazi bar are older.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xfrwohjwxmkytdzadc4lqqy6/bafkreiefmg6zucjna7se4szf7ykihyrej4gzgjujgeicnraj3h4duqpl7i@jpeg)
