A glittery bi-colored striped sweat bee visiting a purple cone flower.

These bees live in communal ground burrows, I see them peeking out as they come and go. Quite charming.

Boeing shareholders approved a $33M pay package for CEO Dave Calhoun, despite overseeing huge losses and safety problems.

It's the biggest package ever given to a Boeing CEO.

Calhoun is resigning by year's end. Guess what he gets then?

A $45 million golden parachute.

Unreal.

@rbreich Don't blame the shareholders. Very few individuals vote their shares, and most institutions rubber stamp the board's proposals. Blame the Boeing board, which is mostly CEOs, for concocting the Boeing CEO's compensation package.

Has anyone read any good math and science history nonfiction books recently? (pop nonfiction please) Are there any really good ones out?

@futurebird Anything by Mary Roach is not exactly science history but definitely science. Try BONK, GULP, or PACKING FOR MARS.
