"The last hit song of Belgian singer Stromae, called “Santé”, is a tribute to all those workers behind the scenes in our modern world; the ones growing or catching the food we eat; the ones transporting us; the ones building and cleaning our facilities; those who more often than not, we simply do not see.
How long until Stromae releases an update to this song including software workers among those groups? Not very long."

Trump went rogue on Truth Social on Tuesday,

—and potentially violating a court order in the process.
Trump’s announcement caught members of his own team off guard,
with four people with knowledge of the matter telling Politico they aren’t clear whether his post means that USDA now won’t abide by the court order.

Good Morning #Canada
It's National Throw Out Your Leftovers Day, the fake holiday brought to you by greedy grocery conglomerates. I live on lunches that are 90% leftovers from our dinners so I know throwing out perfectly good food is a waste. But you need to be safe so here's some information about how to store food so that it doesn't kill you later that week. Most of it is common sense - like not storing leftovers on your stove top for 5 days before you decide to eat it. I won't do that again...
