Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

This latest move may have consequences. Just saying …

It’ll only get worse until we have consistent accountability … at all levels, including politicians

Oh I know. I’ve been on here preaching non-stop about it. Not a day goes by when I read these stories that I don’t hope my own rapist is burning in hell. I’m thinking that if we don’t all use these news items as a platform to trigger change in the justice system, we’re missing a prime opportunity.

19 days left. Keep up the energy, friends and neighbors near and far. I know it’s hard being angry every time we glance at the news. But we’re in the home stretch. If you haven’t voted yet, get your plans together and bring a friend or two with you. 🌊

💯💯💯 Sure, we can and should talk to our daughters about dangers, as we’ve done with all five of ours. But without boys also being educated at home from the start, nothing will change.

Yes! They all looked better before the maralago disfigurement. I remember Gavin Newsom saying that Kimberly is like a totally different person now in every way.

Exactly. Do you also tell men not to drink or use drugs? Whether a woman choses to drink or not shouldn’t even be a consideration. No consent is not a yes. No means no. Not interested. Nada. This is what we should be teaching our boys.

Okay, so airlines should add instructional videos telling passengers that it’s not alright to throw rocks at animals. Because that’s not assumed😳 Yes, Bob Dylan. “The Times They Are A-Changin” beatofhawaii.com/hawaii-visit...

Live updates: Suspected shooter was a minor, OPB sources say

The shooting occurred at Silver Rail Elementary School. A Bend police spokesperson confirmed the shooting suspect is dead.

As I first reported on Monday, Katie Zacharia is not a lawyer and has never been licensed to practice law. The WSJ reports that she took the California Bar Exam but failed. Nevertheless, Zacharia appeared on media programs for YEARS and repeatedly called herself a lawyer. Here's a super cut:

Helps to have a pilot husband. Though he’s thinking of saying he’s a surgeon so he doesn’t have to travel so much.

Good job!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I used to be a bar tender. Does that count? 😂

Time to get ready for work. If it’s a bad day, maybe I’ll tell everyone I’m off to take the bar exam. I wouldn’t pass the first question, but apparently it doesn’t matter.

Exactly, and it confuses a lot of people. CVG

They can’t afford to play around. They have over 100 lives to be responsible for on most days and are well trained to handle this crap. Unfortunate that they have to, however.

Unfortunately yes. And especially when 4-legged family members reside within.

3/ My point here is that whatever Trump’s motive for Saturday, the people you see in the audience of the inevitable videos are not the folks I lived and worked around while there. For all the bad press around KY, there are good people fighting for ALL of you. And the 🍊felon is not one of them.

2/ The hospital system surrounding the area is nationally ranked, and many professionals in both healthcare and the corporate world choose to make their home on that side of the river due to the beauty of a more spacious natural setting. It’s an easy 10 min jaunt into Cincinnati.

1/ Trump is throwing a pedopalooza rally in Highland Heights, KY on Sat. This is an area near NKU and therefore surrounded by college students and middle class families. For those unfamiliar, Northern KY is more an extension of Cincinnati than the rural demographic most associate the state with.

Awww 🥰 Thank you. They train well and work hard to take care of everybody, and very few stop to express appreciation.

In a previous life, I attended several of this man’s rallies and stood in a two hour line to vote for him in his race against Rand Paul in 2022. We made progress, and while i can’t be there to vote for him now … I assure you, Kentucky. This is the one you need to replace Mitch McConnell.

Oh for sure. And grabbing the neck of a total stranger next to us on an airplane used to be unimaginable.

My pup did the same. That first time of the season smells like a reason to be concerned 😂

He shouldn’t be flying again in any seat. Hopefully on a no-fly list.

Understand. Humor is needed, though I’m not at my former level of ability to provide it. It’ll come back eventually

I understand. Trying to hold out until after Nov 3, and then taking a full week getaway without technology.

Interfering with flight crew operations in their duties to ensure the safety of many lives is a serious offense. He carried it to an extreme. He needs to be locked up.

For sure. But this is an excellent article.
