Wall Street Journal complains about workers using their sick days | Boing Boing

"Just to be clear: the idea that sick days somehow impose a financial burden of the company is a blatant lie of criminal proportions. It is a justification for wage theft — the most common and most costly form of burglary in America. Sick days are part of an employees' compensation package; therefore, sick days are just another form of money owed to the workers."

This is the face I couldn't leave out when it came to eating something different. When I say couldn't, I mean she wouldn't let me, because she's a pain in my ass and either steals, or screams the house down if I try to exclude her and because I'm easily trained I give in to their feline demands! It's a good job they're indoor cats or they'd be telling all their mates what a pushover I am & I'd be drowning in cats. Which sounds kinda fun but I'd be really poor!

Gaza: According to our colleagues working in Al-Shifa hospital, the hospital will soon run out of fuel and thus electricity. This means that all the patients who are today in intensive care units or connected to ventilators, and the babies who are in incubators, will die due to the lack of electricity.

It is critical that fuel be allowed into Gaza, as this is essential for lifesaving hospital operations as well as the availability of clean water.

This is not mine, it's from a colleague who posted it to our work Slack. But it's far too good to be left languishing there, so here's my (stolen, but I'm sure they'll understand) contribution to #Caturday.

Musk Yoinks NYTs Gold Checkmark While Threatening Us With Two Subscription Tiers

“Two new tiers of X Premium subscriptions launching soon,” Musk tweeted Friday following tests of a $1 subscription in New Zealand and the Philippines.

Because of #Mastodon, I'd never go back to Twitter, X, or whatever the hell Musk calls it this week!

Jon Stewart ending his Apple TV show because Apple got uncomfortable about him talking about China tells you everything you need to know about Apple.

A company that says “Privacy is a human right” when it means tilting the mobile ads landscape in their favor but then is AWOL when it comes to actual human rights.

An #Introduction: My name is Robert Fairhead. I'm a middle-aged dad and dog owner, writer and podcaster. (Assuming 60 is still middle-aged!)

I write #fiction, #nonfiction and #reviews, and showcase my #writing and #blogposts on the https://www.tallandtrue.com writers' website.

I also write and narrate episodes for the https://www.tallandtrueshortreads.com #storytelling #podcast.

And I have self-published three collections of short stories, available as #ebooks from the Kindle and Kobo online stores.

Besides writing, my favourite pastimes include #reading, cheering the #AFL #SydneySwans with my son and walking my #dog.

I have also enjoyed a one-night stand as a stand-up comic.

As for my political and ideological leanings, please read my toots and boosts. 😀
