On Thursday evening, the night of Juneteenth, Donald Trump took to Truth Social with a classic “old man yells at cloud” complaint:
Americans get too much time off work.
“Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed,” he wrote.
“It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
For good measure, he also opined that workers themselves agreed with him on this.

Everybody is wondering if some ICE agents are actually just bounty hunters, and that's possible but not super likely. What's much more likely is that a good chunk of the agents deployed today are the American equivalent of Wagner, which is currently named "Tripple Canopy" but you probably know as "Blackwater."
It's reasonably likely that the mercenaries who were grabbing people off the streets in Portland in 2020 are back at it for round 2. After all, this is just another opportunity for Trump to dump money in Erik Prince's pocket and wouldn't it be good for Trump to have a man on his side who happens to own a private army?

#AskFedi: meeting-booking software like Calendly or SimplyMeet.me
I need to set up one of those things where other people can pick a time for us to meet.
I only need it for a few meetings on a few days, so I don't want to have to maintain an entire online calendar up-to-date just so that it can see where the gaps are. I want one which is easy to use as follows: I go into the thing itself and select a few chunks of time which _are_ available, it turns those into bookable slots.
I'd also like it to be easy to remove unbooked slots manually without messing up any adjacent booked ones.
Previously I've not even used this type of software the other way round, as the person booking someone _else's_ available time - so I'm starting fresh with looking into it!
I've got my eye on SimplyMeet.me, because the below Zapier article said it was a nicely customisable one and can do intake questions, which would be nice. Has anyone else used that?
Any other recommendations or pointers?
Thanks in advance for clues!
(boosts very welcome)
