I've mentioned that I'm getting a new boss, and new boss is not going to be replacing old boss directly - they'll be going into a newly created role (because of an organisational restructure).

The proposed job description has been sent around our team for feedback before the vacancy is published. Would it be wrong for me to suggest that a key responsibility for this new role is:

"Let the quality improvement person get on with their job, leave them alone, and stop inviting them to fucking meetings all the time"

I was on my city's Earth Day planning committee for the park celebration and we couldn't find a beer vendor who would serve in aluminum cups.

This is actually one of Roger Stone's favorite slurs against women. He has used it against me at least once.

Jonathan V. Last looks at what Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton are doing in Texas to create a stand-off with the federal government at the border and rightly concludes:

"Donald Trump isn’t the only force trying to push America into constitutional crisis."
