CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

It continues to amaze me, despite all the geopolitics and crises, that Global North countries still see themselves as "leaders" in global health, human rights, international law, and morals

It’s noteworthy that Kavanaugh thinks the USPS has the authority to make the rule, it’s just too close to the election - which he bases on the APA and not Purcell. So even though he concurs - he does so for the wrong reasons.

Egregious omission by NYT: Its report on Vance-AES feud quotes AES's barb about Usha and Papaw without including the original Vance quote that AES was responding to. That makes it look like AES brought up Usha out of the blue and drains his quote of its real meaning: newrepublic.com/article/2149...

Dead great hammerhead shark washes up on Jupiter, Florida beach | Probably just a coincidence that these hammerheads keep washing up dead right next to where anglers caught and “released” them a few hours before. www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/e... 🧪🌍🦑🦈🐟

Hammerhead shark found dead in Florida as death toll grows to 6 in 2026
Some experts suspect human interaction may be a factor as great hammerheads are particularly vulnerable to dying after being caught on a fishing line.
