We would have moved off fossil fuels 50 years ago if a meaningful fraction of the cost of wars and global warming were included in the prices.

No such thing as cheap plastic if those prices included the near infinite cleanup costs.

Over 100 applications for my part-time #journalist assistant job. I'm amazed how many people will apply using acronyms that only people from that country would know.
I know what it means that someone is "fluent in BM" but have no what "graduated from GW" "technical AEO" "studied at SPPU" or "wrote stories on ATP/WTA" means.

Minor petty thing, but it is disgusting how news reports will talk about "ICE agents" interactions with people who resist, observe, or interfere. When the objective experience of these people is that they are dealing with *armed, masked men in unmarked cars*. And these supposedly official representatives of the US government are never named, yet the civilians assaulted and detained are.

#Hiring for a #journalism assistant and got way too many applications. Too many cover letters have the same exact format, with bullet points summaries in the middle.
