Hey @sjvn tell me when to stop. I run across wfh articles in the course of my work.

58 percent of US workers - or about 92 million people - can work remotely at least part time. Of those who can, 87 percent do, a third of them fulltime. This has serious implications for how people move throughout buildings each day, how much space is needed, and what the space looks and feels like to make the experience of coming into the office “worth the commute.”

Not content with crushing economic sanctions, Russia applies for a proper thumping.

Digging a trench in gravel has to be a metaphor or euphemism or horror movie plot. Not a Saturday morning activity.
But here I am.

Maybe the UK PM position is over. Just done. Not needed.

an “unarmed RAF RC-135 Rivet Joint” plane was “interacted with” by two Russian SU-27s, one of which “released a missile in the vicinity of the RAF Rivet Joint beyond visual range”.

Russia said it was a technical malfunction.

Q: That the missile released? Or didn't hit its target. Just wondering Vlad.

That Roger Stone call. I call BS. Really wish the MSM asked questions.
Stone is a self-proclaimed propagandist.
We get one side of a "call". Corroboration someone, anyone is on the other side?
"Abortionist"? Stone has neither ethics nor morals. He dgaf about abortion except as a wedge issue.
Why was it videoed and why released?
IMO: Stone performed this to tell Trump he's not talking a fall (again). He'll mess with the Base, turn them against the Family.

There's a man going around in this town selling lies
He's the bad businessman
And the mess he sells is bad
And the mess he leaves is sad
He's a clown
That's going to get bounced around
If he don't keep his business underground

Overview Effect
There are no borders or boundaries on our planet except those that we create in our minds or through human behaviors. All the ideas and concepts that divide us when we are on the surface begin to fade from orbit and the moon. The result is a shift in worldview, and in identity.
