"Many Gen Xers say they operated on the belief that if they paid their dues, their time would come. But as they enter what is usually the prime, C-suite career stage, more businesses are retaining their aging leaders or skipping a generation in search of the next ones." www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

👏👏👏 For Shane O’Neill of @washingtonpost for coining the genius phrase “Björk Dörks” of which I know a few.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. We will continue the fight to stop this unlawful policy once and for all.

This is purely anecdotal, but the Salem Market Basket seems surprisingly empty for a Sunday morning at 10:30.

A board member of the parent company of Market Basket told the Boston Business Journal after news broke that CEO Arthur T. Demoulas was placed on administrative leave: “In some ways, the CEO made it a little more about him... he kind of took the company hostage.” www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/...

My colleague @donseiffert.bsky.social looked at the annual reports of several big companies, including GE, RTX, CVS and more. He found that they’re quietly removing the word “diversity”

Public companies started filing annual reports a couple weeks ago, and several major Massachusetts employers have eliminated the word "diversity" entirely this year, although some of them said nothing has changed in their commitment to DEI goals. www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/...

This is the most consequential thing Trump has done since taking office. Don't let it be forgotten in all his bluster.

"My political views on most issues are far from Budde’s. But I cannot fault her decision ... to gently remind the new president of a teaching as old as the Beatitudes: 'Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.'" @jeffjacoby.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/02/o...

In a roughly 40-minute news conference, President Donald Trump claimed without evidence that the deadly airline collision was a result of diversity initiatives and the Federal Aviation Administration’s hiring of people with “severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.”

A N.H. man who got a 90-day prison term for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol said he’s declining the pardon that Trump issued. He said he’s a recovering alcoholic who did “stupid things” that day and got “involved with the wrong people.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/23/m...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

I might suggest that the big takeaway is not that Trump's having a "busy first day" or he's "reshaping the government" but that he's saying it's OK to assault police in support of him.

Just because Trump was inaugurated yesterday doesn't mean the media is not allowed to talk to the 48% of the voters who are still against him & his policies. Pretending the opposition doesn't exist is not journalism.
