Among other things, this article points to something rarely recognized: That the new service economy, which includes chain restaurants, also offers excellent career opportunities, and possibilities of advancement... nytimes.com/2020/01/07/din…
I have a family member involved in chain restaurants who is made apoplectic by the idea that only old industrial jobs - steel, coal - offer good salaries, benefits... I've come to sympathize with him.
Why are coal miners inherently more worthy of political attention than chefs? Why do polluting, extractive industries have to be subsidized and pampered by the government?

If you have a moment, listen to this speech - with English voiceover - from Marian Turski at today's Auschwitz commemoration in Poland. Turski is one of the few remaining camp survivors, and is more eloquent than ever.
"Do not be indifferent when you see historical lies. Don't be indifferent when you see that the past is stretched to fit current political needs."
"Don't be indifferent when any power destroys the social compact"

Seems to me that if Bolton wants to see justice done, there is no need to wait for Senate testimony. He could walk into any TV studio in America and just tell us what happened.
In fact he could have done that at any moment since impeachment hearings began
And yes, of course he could have testified before the House

the entire point is to neuter the Polish court system and create courts that can only agree with the government
and no, it's not like the American or British systems. In the US and UK you can't (yet) fire judges or fine them for coming to the wrong decision
remember, the Polish ruling party has already organized online trolling and doxxing campaigns of judges it doesn't like

THREAD: Something that not many think about in terms of transitioning is the social adaptation.
For example, prior to transition, the first thing that I studied was Childcare & Early Learning.
I worked in playschools & I worked as a full-time childmender for 5 years.
First to a
2 year old girl. Then to two young boys aged 3 &5.
I never had a problem finding work with kids. I had a qualification, I had experience & I had extras, such as pediatric emergency first aid, experience in caring for children with intellectual disabilities etc...
But as soon as
I transitioned, as soon as I identified as male, as soon as I began passing, all of my qualifications & experience became mute.
Where once I would get a childcare job first time, there not a chance that I would now.
My appearance has changed. My qualifications or experience has

Concerned about the habit gaps in your life and career?

Want to build a habit? Great.

Want to kill a habit that has been slowing you down or harming you? Great.

You need to understand how habit gets created and how they are perpetuated once the behavior is learned at the level of a habit.

It all starts with some kind of awareness.

Let’s say it’s a cigarette addiction. How is it going to start? I can speak from personal experience.
The first trigger is the awareness and the universal availability of cigarettes. Being aware of the existence of cigarettes is easy. Everyone knows. Cigarette companies make sure of that, through all sorts of promotional activities.

#Bookfie | For a special project @lisahellebo and I are working on this summer.

A holiday is a terrible thing to waste.

#TWSCF | The past ran on supply chains. The present runs on supply chains. The future will run on supply chains. The world is a supply chain.®

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

This is Delia Darbyshire. If you've ever watched Dr. Who, you've heard her music--though she wasn't originally credited. What you might not know is that she, and other women at the BBC in the 1960s, were pioneers of early electronic music.
Delia didn't compose the melody to the Dr. Who theme, but she arranged it for electronic "instruments"--at that time a motley assortment of screeching machines not designed for making music. She translated staid sheet music into an otherworldly sound, & making it iconic, ethereal
For comparison: Here's what it sounds like played on a traditional instrument-piano:

Here's what it sounded like when she got done with it:
