Have you noticed how 'career' and 'profession' drip with status but 'jobs' are only for low status people or high status teenagers, but part time?
It's like after the Normans took over in England. The rich ate pork and beef while the poor raised pigs and cows.
I wonder, how old is the distinction between job and profession?
Also, do you have a career or merely a job or neither?

California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy
Are renewables reliable? A new study says California ran on renewables alone for a record number of days last year.Matt Simon (Grist)
And we can especially think a botched privatization of the energy grid for a lot of it.
There’s a detail about PG&E that’s worth mentioning. The company is split into two parts the energy generation part in the energy distribution part. The latter division is burdened and laden with all the company’s debt. And the energy division is free to peddle energy off.

US, Colombia wage tariff war after Petro blocks Trump’s deportation flights | Migration News
The United States and Colombia have announced tit-for-tat tariffs amid a spat over Bogota’s refusal to accept the return of migrants being deported under United States President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.BYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
"I’m the first Black press secretary. The first person of color press secretary. The first openly queer press secretary. The first Haitian American immigrant press secretary. The first press secretary to be all of the above. Being a first meant that my responsibilities were beyond those in the job description, the load heavier. I bear a certain responsibility to the communities I represent."

non riesco a sentirmi ancora a casa qui, non sopporto più instagram.
è tutto molto frustrante.
sto provando a capire come spostare tutto quello che ho messo su ig in questi ultimi tredici anni ma sembra che ci voglia una laurea in informatica per farlo.
sono giù di morale.
volevo solo un posto dove parlare di quello che mi piace. di là è strutturalmente impossibile, di qua mi sento solo stupida e ignorante e non capisco nulla.

I don’t doubt that the many thousands of farmers who will face extreme trouble if not bankruptcy because of the pogrom, will end up selling to Bill Gates and another billionaires. They all have this fetish now for founding futuristic cities.

Colombia President Petro Responds to Trump Tariffs: Read His Full Statement
Colombia-US clash erupts over deportation flights, sparking 50% tariffs and fiery statement on sovereignty from President Gustavo Petro.Adeola Adeosun (Newsweek)
This story as written is deceptive and omits key facts.
#Colombia DID NOT reject repatriation of its citizens. It rejected the landing of military planes and the handling of its citizens in chains as criminals. The norm for repatriation is to deliver people unbound in civilian planes. Colombia upheld its duty to protect the dignity and bodies of its citizens, consistent with international treaties, which the US was violating.
English media is routinely distorting the facts.

#colombia Statement by President Gustavo Petro (thread, 4/?)
"Colombia is the heart of the world, and you’ve failed to understand that. This is the land of yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of Colonel Aureliano Buendía, and I am one of them, perhaps the last. You may kill me, but I will survive in my people, who existed long before yours, in the Americas. We are people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and freedom."
#colombia Statement by President Gustavo Petro (thread, 5/?)
"You don’t like our freedom, fine. I won’t shake hands with white enslavers. I will shake hands with white libertarians, heirs of Lincoln, and with the Black and white farm boys of the U.S., at whose graves I wept and prayed on a battlefield I reached after walking through the mountains of Tuscany and surviving COVID. They are the U.S., and before them, I kneel—before no one else"
#colombia Statement by President Gustavo Petro (thread, 6/?)
"Bring me down, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Colombia no longer looks to the north; it looks to the world. Our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Córdoba, the civilization of its time, from the Latin Romans of the Mediterranean, the civilization that founded the republic and democracy in Athens. Our blood carries the resilience of Black people enslaved by you."

Dislocation. Genocide. Complete theft of an indigenous people's land.

His bio below his name reads “Spreading Empathy”. LinkedIn is truly the social network for unhinged psychopaths/corporate execs.

"Sogna quello che vuoi.
Vai dove vuoi andare.
Sii ciò che vuoi essere,
perché possiedi una sola vita
e in essa abbiamo una sola
possibilità di fare quello che vogliamo.
Abbi abbastanza felicità
da renderla dolce...
difficoltà per renderla forte.
Tristezza per renderla umana.
E abbastanza speranza
per renderla felice. "
(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,
Il Piccolo Principe)
Avrei un commento in merito, ma cadrei nel turpiloquio.
"Dopo il Golfo del Messico che diventa Golfo d’America grazie a un ordine esecutivo firmato da #Trump, la nuova provocazione del suo braccio destro Elon #Musk è che il canale della Manica dovrà essere ribattezzato Canale George Washington."
