I missed the first 15 minutes of the Tonys coming back from the Symphony so now I'm watching the repeat and I'm glad I did!

YESS RAZZLE DAZZLE

Welcome to FIFA World Cup Iraq's World Cup striker, Aymen Hussein, was held and questioned for nearly seven ​hours at Chicago's O'Hare airport after arriving with the squad ‌early on Saturday, an Iraqi sporting official said.

Participating in a violent insurrection should be a good enough reason for any job not to hire someone.   Yet, under Trump, you can be rewarded with a job at the Pentagon.   This is a CLEAR threat to our national security—and this appointment should not even be REMOTELY acceptable.

uh oh, I hope my co-workers are OK!

I basically just said to @apoure25.bsky.social yesterday that this is me when debating whether to text or not, lol

they should fill a different arena with people and fake knicks players and have secret service take him there and he would literally never know the difference

Late afternoon rainbow over Seattle and Puget Sound, Washington🌈

June 6 is D-day, probably ANTIFA's most heroic moment.

This is exactly why we've warned for decades against mixing religion and government. Once the government decide which faiths count and which denominations are 'real' Christians, religious liberty is in trouble...

Even moving up the post time to try to avoid the rain, poor Jose is covered in mud. 😂

GOLDEN TEMPO!!

START SPREADIN' THE NEWS

OK, well fortunately being available for work today wasn't too big a deal. Mostly just keeping an eye on the Teams chat while I cleaned my house.

I'm uncomfortably hot - is it just the summer, or is it hormones? NO ONE KNOWS I just blame everything on hormones now, though, that's the only good thing about it. I was crying yesterday, I blame hormones for that too.

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

I got an e-mail today about the Bowdoin Class of 2030. As someone who graduated from high school in 2000, that number cannot be correct.

I have to be available to work tomorrow, so today isn't really Friday in the sense that I would like it to be, but at least today I didn't have many meetings and could have a day to catch up/regroup/get ready for Monday.

The Senate just passed a bill expanding funding for ICE and CBP by $70,000,000,000 with no strings attached instead of using our tax dollars to fund programs that actually benefit working families. Tell your representative in the House to vote NO.

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

Pratt says he'll "unplug" homeless people from services and force them into 72-hour hospital holds, which he calls "rehab," and that this will make nonprofits that traffic them on buses from city to city load them up for Seattle. Delusional fantasies from a guy who spent $1 million on crystals

BIG MONEY, NO WHAMMIES

Someone who was hired around the same time as me (5 years ago) has now been promoted to my level. (which represents I think 3 promotions for him) I'm happy for him, and everyone else who got promoted 6/1, but it does make all my failed attempts sting a little bit more.

A New York appellate court upholds a $4.3 million dollar judgment against former National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre, who was found liable in a civil corruption case for misappropriating the organization’s funds.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group.

How did an SUV get onto (and off) the Mount Baker light rail platform?

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

Now there's a new Chase Sapphire Lounge commercial with Tom Holland in it. Pfft, he's never in the lounge when I'm there! Good thing I can just bring a lookalike instead 😆

"The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well." BREAKING: Longtime “60 Minutes” journalist Scott Pelley issues a new statement after his firing from CBS News.

The official pay statement says 3.01% raise 😂 (don’t spend that 0.01% all in one place, lol) Plus, a one-time bonus of another 3% of my salary. Maybe I’ll use it to get some house stuff done this summer.

I’ve been watching 60 Minutes for years, but I won’t be now that they eliminated all the journalism from it.

I've been rejected by every man I've ever liked as an adult, where's my payout?!?

I would like to be included in pride because it always seems to include things like rainbow cupcakes. I guess I would put myself in the “unsure” category, though.

Bill Pulte is a proven crook who will target anyone Trump considers an enemy. He isn't qualified for his current job, and he would pose an actual threat to our national security as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Every Senator should demand he be fired immediately.

An effective push back against GOP culture war tactics? Seems to me it should be.

Like too many issues around women's health, we don't talk much about menopause — and certainly not from a podium with government leaders standing in support. Menopause will affect half our population at some point in their lives. Women shouldn't have to navigate this change alone.

It takes strength to look the person who could fire you in the eye and tell them that both they and their boss are giant pieces of trash. You usually don't win, but you definitely leave a mark, and you write your place in history. That's what Scott Pelley did today.

BREAKING: The Trump administration plans to drop its $1.776 billion compensation fund amid bipartisan backlash, a senior White House official says

I did find out today that I’m getting a small raise! (3%, but I’ll still take it!) 🎉

Also, the Mariners are undefeated since they memed me on Celebrity Jeopardy. Makes you think.

It was not Rhapsody in Blue, but I enjoyed today's Symphony program! (and I have heard them perform Rhapsody in Blue in a previous season) www.seattlesymphony.org/en/beyond-th...

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Relationship goals! The best marriage would be one where you don’t live together because you figure that eliminates like 90% of all sources of conflict. www.seattletimes.com/life/theyve-...

Yesterday when I was at the mall dealing with my watch stuff, I swung by the LEGO store on the way back to my car and they do have the Concorde model. That sucker is $200! But maybe I'll think about it, if I get a raise, lol
