Almost a year since one of the most casually cruel layoffs in tech happened at Twitter and those laid off have yet to receive their severance.

If you stole this much from a corporation you would be in jail. But steal this much from workers and you get to comfortably sit at home while tweeting white supremacist memes without a care in the world.

Sometimes I get so overwhelmed I can’t stand it.

I never, ever would have suspected growing up that in my “golden years,” I’d be consumed by the real and present dangers of catastrophic climate change and fascism in this country.

Still fighting like hell, but that’s not the point of this post, so no need to tell me to “keep fighting, don’t give up.”

I’m allowed, as you are, to feel scared, alarmed, overwhelmed sometimes.

This is one of those times.

Absofinglutely....

One more reason -- and an extremely important one at that -- NOT to change the clocks! It's so hard on people with #dementia, especially those who experience #Sundowning, and their #caregivers. November is #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth and #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth. Let's do better by this community -- 6.7 million and counting -- that already has so many challenges.

Ukraine’s people can count on their fellow Europeans.

Yesterday, President von der Leyen was in Kyiv and took stock of Ukraine’s impressive progress on its accession path to the EU.

She also attended the handover ceremony of our “School buses for Ukraine” solidarity campaign, delivering over 370 buses.

We continue to #StandWithUkraine.

MY BLOOD BOILS!

When asked why Hamas hasn't built bomb shelters for civilians, Mousa Abu Marzouk, a top Hamas official, replied that is not of their concern but of the United Nations.

Journalist: Many people are asking: Since you have built 500 kilometers of tunnels, why haven’t you built bomb shelters, where civilians can hide during bombardments?
Mousa Abu Marzouk: We have built the tunnels because we had no other way of protecting ourselves from being targeted and killed.

UC #Berkeley Takes Significant Step to Repatriate 4,400 Native American Human Remains
==

It would be the largest repatriation by far at an institution that holds more than 9,000 ancestral remains and has lagged behind in returning its holdings under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

A Pinky & Brain spin-off for grown ups that always starts with them sitting tired at coffee in the morning:

Pinky: "What are we going to do tonight?"
Brain: "Same thing we do every night. Try to go to bed early"

And then the whole episode is just about how stuff comes up and prevents them from going to bed early.

SPOILER: Yes.
