Congressional jobs are prestigious, and if you don’t like working there, find it too stressful, you can find a different job with a more congenial work style somewhere else. I don’t appreciate this whining. (Your boss doesn’t like errors? Poor thing.) buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/addyba…
Sometimes their work hours interfered with their personal lives!
Right, but also not all non-optimized personnel management is news. Are you kind of a bad boss and people quit because of it? Well, that’s too bad for your organization, and also how a labor market works, especially a tight one.
I mean, if you’re hiring the sort of employees who populated the Dianne Morales campaign, I guess what they do is simultaneously your fault and their fault?

So, Emma Raducanu. Pretty good!
I like when random people dominate things!
Try not to think about how you’re twice as old as her and have accomplished much less.

I tried something new with tomato sauce last night. Serves 8: Sauté 1/2 lb chopped bacon until mostly rendered; add 3 shallots sliced into rings and cook until softened; add 3 cloves minced garlic and 2 small red chiles, chopped, and cook until fragrant…
Add 1/2 cup tomato paste and cook about 1 minute; add 1/2 cup red wine and cook until mostly evaporated; add 2, 28-oz cans crushed tomatoes, simmer about 15 minutes. Add chopped basil and salt and pepper to taste. Great depth of flavor from the wine, tomato paste, bacon & chiles.
Some people have asked what kind of pasta with this. I did penne, but would also work with spaghetti or bucatini I think. And yes, I am aware of amatriciana and know I did not invent the bacon-tomato-hot pepper combination, though I’ve never seen wine in amatriciana.

Do we have a source for that “OnlyFans to prohibit sexually explicit content” news besides the Walter Bloomberg account?
Because if I were OnlyFans, I don’t think I would be choosing the banking partners over the core of the business model.
Oh wow, they actually are getting out of the porn business. Weird! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

With “experts” like these…
Yes, why get a shot when instead you could stop doing things you enjoy forever? Image
I swear all the people who were writing “40 signs you’re a fascinating introvert” listicles in 2013 went and got MPH degrees

People keep saying Biden's speech on Afghanistan was "Trumpian." They're right. Biden took something correct Trump said -- the US should stop using our military in ways divorced from our national interest -- and unlike Trump, did something about it. businessinsider.com/joe-biden-afgh…
Since the Cold War, the US has had too many wide-eyed ideas about what our military could do to reshape other countries. What happens in Afghanistan should be not our job and not our problem, and Biden overcame the bureaucracy to make it so. businessinsider.com/joe-biden-afgh…
So yes, the speech was cold and harsh. Soaring rhetoric about what's wrong in the world and how we can fix it has led us to a lot of stupid places over the decades. Biden gives his empathetic speeches where they belong: domestic affairs. businessinsider.com/joe-biden-afgh…

This Instagram page was pretty ludicrous, but also hasn’t been updated since May. I would be interested to know about the choices made here — to aggregate the paper’s existing Harris coverage with all these marketing-type photos, and then stop.
It frankly looks like the actually-existing Harris puff magazine from the LA Times for sale at supermarket checkstands. And that is a business that magazines have been in for some time (Obama and Trump had them) but I don’t think I’d seen one from a newspaper before.
Anyway the whole thing reads as very “business side” to me, but editorial should have said no.
