Weird headline: "Harris ran her office like a prosecutor. Not everyone liked that." I mean, duh: No boss in a highly stressful job is liked by "everyone." But the article isn't anti-Harris. Goofy headline aside, it paints Harris as a tough, smart, knowledgeable and engaged boss. archive.ph/WZmJ9

Grandma and grandpa are actually too busy to help with childcare, Vance.
They’re out working their shifts because they can’t afford to retire.
Why have salmon deserted Norway’s rivers – and will they ever return?
North Atlantic populations are at a historic low, and this year 33 of the country’s rivers were closed during the fishing season as salmon farming and the climate crisis threaten the fish’s future. #ClimateChange
Here's why some people do it anyway.

@strangeculprits Thank you for the feedback.
Do you happen to know on what version of Firefox Floorp is based? I.E. do they keep pace with ESR?
Whoa! Whoa! Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, first we got to know:
Do they say this Floorp is a bad motha'?
@danmac Vivaldi (which is what I use) has something called "workspaces" that might be similar.
(I went from Chrome to Firefox to Vivaldi and don't currently feel inclined to change again.)
@danmac Vivaldi workspaces are this:
(begin quote)
Workspaces allow you to quickly group tabs for pages related to various topics, such as work, research, shopping, or school, in the same window. Once you have made a set of workspaces, moving between them is easy; using either the menu button or shortcuts.

As Nicolle Wallace exclaimed on her show Friday, Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have all gathered together around a cause.
That cause is #democracy
and its standard bearer is #Kamala #Harris.
This is a momentous time in the United States, unprecedented at least in this century and likely since long before the Civil War.
The question is whether our national media will understand this moment
— or whether they will continue to insist on their trope of a "divided America"
This is not a divided America.
Patriots are gathering together and putting past differences aside to forestall a next civil war,
to support and defend the Constitution.
A profound phenomenon is emerging :
The question is not whether we should demean or understand or empathize with fascists.
We should instead concentrate on welcoming those who will stand for democracy in a larger movement.

Using hot lava would be crazy dangerous. But there are ways to tap volcanic heat to make electricity.
To harness the energy, engineers drill wells down into the magma and bring steam to the surface, where it is goes into power plants to spin turbines and generate electricity.

Even Trump is starting to become concerned about how senile he is sounding. Calling it the "weave" and making it sound like a "brilliant" thing doesn't change how demented, unforcused and crazy he sounds. Come on Media, do your damn jobs!!
alternet.org/trump-incoherent-…
Here's Trump addressing his incoherent, unfocused, ramblings:
"You know what the weave is? I’ll talk about, like, nine different things that they all come back brilliantly together. And it’s like friends of mine that are like English professors, they say: ‘It’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen,’" Trump said. "But the fake news, you know what they say, ‘He rambled.’ It’s not rambling. What you do is you get off a subject to mention another little tidbit, then you get back on to the subject, and you go through this and you do it for two hours, and you don’t even mispronounce one word."
...
"One unnamed European leader even reportedly mentioned to a Democratic U.S. senator during this summer's NATO summit that they were perplexed about how Trump's rants haven't been discussed more by political journalists.
“The reason he’s now offering these convoluted explanations of his speech patterns in his public appearances is because he’s hyper-aware that people have noted that he’s making even less sense than he used to,” O'Brien told the Guardian. “What we’re seeing now is a reflection of someone who’s very troubled and very desperate.”'

in reply to Working Families Party • • •Same in the UK.... Made worse as the retirement age keeps getting raised.. especially for ladies....
Somewhere somebody does the calculation that the state retirement fund increases when older people die before receiving the pension (sorry benefit) they have been paying into for decades.
Allowing Covid into retirement homes helped immensely... Bastards
