Does anybody in the Administration really think, after Americans being apoplectic over even minor COVID restrictions like mask mandates, are going to tolerate financial pain while the economy "transitions"? Especially if the transition is a failure?

What do I have to do to get you into a Tesla, TODAY?!

This is the way. You call out your opposition's hypocrisy (MAGA loves to call people "snowflakes"). You mock their behavior and expose their cowardice and weakness. What AOC did here was poignant and humorous. The public responds well to it. It's what comedians do.

There is no reason to watch this speech. Why sit in a room and be lied to? Everybody in the House chamber is lesser for being there. The Democrats should have walked out with Rep. Green.

Citizens of other countries that are angry (rightly) at the US and want to inflict economic pain by boycotts or whatever. Our govt. will inflict 100x more economic pain on the US than you can imagine or muster.

The leadership vacuum from Demcrats sucks. The administration is full of unpatriotic, un-American cowards and bullies. The Democrats need to call them out as such and remind us about America's ideals and what we aspire to be. Stand with one voice and unite the country around what makes the USA great

And that is how you talk to bullies. Ms. Vindman is NOT bringing it weak.

Me when I'm in a meeting that could have been an email.

American hockey fans, did you seriously boo Wayne Gretzky?!

...but doesn't the President work from home? And doesn't Trump sometimes work from the golf course he owns?

Since a lot of Hallmark movies are filmed in Abbotsford, BC, what will the tariffs be on me watching Hallmark movies in the US?

I am thrilled to announce my employer is dedicated to stamping out inflation by keeping merit raises capped to about half the inflation rate. Even for very highly rated employees that have improved their marketability, like yours truly.

"Dude, did you feel the pew shake? That was my fart".

I was writing my self performance review and all I could think was, "It doesn't matter how I think I'm doing, it only matters how YOU think I'm doing? Why am I wasting my time to tell you how I'm doing when you're going to tell me how I'm doing anyway?!!" #reviewssuck

I call it, the Pepperoni Pizza chart 🍕. Ghastly.

I have loved this movie nearly my whole life, even as a little kid. This essay just made me love it more.

It's fun to live near a place where they frequently film Hallmark movies and see a part that was filmed in an arcade where I take my kids.

Hey LinkedIn, why are you sending me age discrimination articles? Are you trying to tell me something?!

Don't tell anybody on Xwitter but, I just created a calculated column in Power BI. I've never felt so alive!

I successfully troubleshooted a complicated Power BI DAX/Modeling issue which caused a previous fiscal year measure fail only when sparse data was reported. Quick! AMA while I feel like I know everything.

Look through Downloads folder for file I thought I downloaded but couldn't find. Download file and see it's named Report (5).pbix Me:

Apply for job on company website. Don't hear back for over a month. Go to "Action Center" on the website and see the application is still active. Me: So you're saying there's a chance...

Haunting. Familiar.

Look...I share the best #PowerBI resource I've ever seen that have a lot of platform-agnostic wisdom about creating, testing, socializing dashboards in the pursuit of insights, and get ZERO retweets? Let's fix this, because EVERY data team should get these presentations as part of their induction.
