Why are you up so early, my dear?

Changing your mind does not mean you are weak or indecisive. It can take great strength to re-evaluate and change course when it is the right thing to do, and great courage to do so even at the risk of seeming inconsistent. It is never the wrong time to make the right decision.

(they/them)Okay, so, I just found out that I'm being laid off. My department is being completely dissolved.
I'm really sad, because I was doing full remote data entry, and I've never been happier with a job in my life. My mental health has never been better, either.
So, can anyone point me towards a fully-remote position that involves working with data, not phones? I swear, I'm super qualified and really good at this. I work hard, and I'm dependable.
Please boost

I hate the first Monday after DST starts. It’s brutal.
Dan Jones shared 2 years agoTikTok keeps trying to convince me that I’ve got ADHD.
I keep getting these videos that are like “Only people with ADHD understand”, and I totally understand.
Now I’m sitting here thinking “What if my daughter inherited it from me and not her mother?”

Let me tell you... it is so enjoyable that we can do this in #PHP:
```
$value = $object->property ?? throw new Exception('Whoops!');
```

Truth.

A hacker news post, summarized here: Entrepreneurship is like a carnival cruise games: - middle class kids get one throw of the dart: most kids miss, some get a small prize, very few hit the bullseye and get a huge prize, the American dream lives on! - Rich kids get as many throw as they want, most keep throwing until they got something, some until they got the bullseye, and they give speeches about success and the American way. - poor kids never throw a dart: they are the ones working the stands.

Dukat: I’m sick and tired of being called 'mortal'.
Dukat: Like you don’t know that. Neither do I. I have never died even ONCE.
Dukat: Nothing has been proven yet. Stop making assumptions. It’s rude.

Emotional outlet

An electrical outlet cover painted like The Scream by Edvard Munch. The outlet is where the head should be, so the holes look like eye and mouth holes.
Steven Spielberg's first Film, Firelight, which he wrote, directed, and produced at the age of 16, cost $500 to produce. He made $501 at the box office.
This is the only known surviving footage.

Ella Fitzgerald was barred from performing at the Mocambo club in the 1950s due to her race. Marilyn Monroe, a fan of Ella's music, intervened and promised to attend nightly if they booked Ella. The owner agreed, & Marilyn kept her promise. Ella's career skyrocketed.

I was 48 when I sold my first script, 52 when it got made, 54 when it was released.
Let me and tonight’s #Oscars be your reminder that it is never too late, you are never too old.
And ladies, as #MichelleYeoh said, we are NEVER past our prime.
Don’t stop until you’re dead.

Review of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Oz, #1)" (3 stars): Fairly superficial, but ok
It's a decent children's book. If you're an adult, don't expect too much, but it would be great to read to your kids, if you're a parent. If you want entertainment, and slightly fewer platitudes, watch the MGM film.
