Carla Hayden, la prima bibliotecaria nera del Congresso, è stata licenziata da Trump
La bibliotecaria del Congresso Carla Hayden è stata licenziata all'improvviso dal presidente Donald Trump, nel contesto degli sforzi dell'amministrazione per epurare i dipendenti federali che, a suo dire, si oppongono al suo programma.
Hayden, confermata dal Senato nel 2016, è stata la prima donna e la prima afroamericana a dirigere la Biblioteca del Congresso, che custodisce una vasta collezione di libri, documenti storici e preziosi manufatti del Paese. Il suo licenziamento è avvenuto in seguito alle critiche dell'American Accountability Foundation (AAF), un gruppo di pressione conservatore che ha accusato Hayden e altri funzionari della biblioteca di promuovere libri con "contenuti radicali" e materiale scritto da oppositori di Trump.
"L'attuale #Bibliotecaria del Congresso Carla Hayden è un soggetto woke, anti-Trump e promuove i ragazzi transgender", ha scritto AAF su X, poche ore prima che la notizia del licenziamento di Hayden diventasse pubblica. "È ora di mandarla FUORI e assumere qualcuno nuovo per il lavoro!"

$15 an hour == $100k a year, Apparently.
::: spoiler Transcript
A tweet saying "100k a year to take someone's order at Taco Bell . Totally makes sense.". It has a reply saying "Where the hell did you get that number? If someone's working enough hours to make that on $15 an hour, they deserve it. $15 an hour, a person working 40 a week makes $31,200 a year." the reply has 2 likes.

Nonostante sapesse lavorare, non mi è piaciuta:
parlava a voce molto alta, non mi faceva finire le spiegazioni (grrrr) e non mi ha ascoltato quando le ho detto di correggere alcune cose.
Sembrava anche seccata dal fatto che nell'ultima ora non avessi più niente da farle fare (eh, oh 🤷🏻♀️).
Poi, avendo competenze simili alle mie, sembrava un po' interessata alle "scalate".

The #CBC 's non-judgmental style of #journalism is so frustrating. Here they quote a CBP spokesperson as saying "lawful travellers have nothing to fear from these measures", a paragraph below an example of a lawful traveller getting shafted.
This lie is then described as a "reassurance", and conferences are relocating out of the US "despite" it.
This quest for false balance empowers propagandists.

I added the ability to show images in terminal scripts and I thought to add maps here and there to not get the player lost. I think I'll also add some documents with the maps of the most complex sections.
Images can be displayed with the command:
[IMG x,y,w,h,file]
In the screenshot you see the 1st Institute's terminal encountered by the player that has an option to show the map and the current player's position.
Yes! 😍

The United States and China announced Monday an agreement to drastically reduce tit-for-tat tariffs for 90 days, an outcome President Donald Trump dubbed a "total reset" as he said that talks with counterpart Xi Jinping could soon follow. Maurizio Zanardi, Professor of Economics at the University of Sussex, says that "Chinese consumers, not necessarily the American ones, will benefit the most" from the latest trade agreement.

Taliban authorities have barred chess across Afghanistan until further notice over concerns it is a source of gambling, which is illegal under the government's morality law, a sports official said on Sunday. The Taliban government has steadily imposed laws and regulations that reflect its austere vision of Islamic law since seizing power in 2021. FRANCE 24's Liza Kaminov reports.

La imagen muestra a dos personas en un entorno oscuro con una atmósfera dramática. La persona a la izquierda tiene el cabello largo y una expresión de alegría, mientras que la persona a la derecha tiene una expresión seria y está vestida con un chaleco de cuero. El texto superpuesto dice "TRYING TO RESTART MY PC" en la parte inferior izquierda y "WINDOWS UPDATE" en la parte superior derecha. La imagen parece ser una meme que compara la experiencia de intentar reiniciar un PC durante una actualización de Windows con una situación tensa o desafiante.

in reply to irelephant [he/him]🍭 • • •I still agree with the sentiment that $15/hr is too much for that since it isn't even a real job: taking orders at Taco Bell.
Because that isn't a real job. Literally. What does this shit-fuck think happens at Taco Bell??? Some person takes the order and then stands around doing nothing at all? While they're waiting, the Hamburglar is in the back, squirting out hot McDonald's diarrhea into tortillas of various crispiness? Then the food wraps itself, jumps into a bag and then the window-gremlin throws the food into your car and auto-debits your account???
Even if this were a real position at Taco Bell, then, yes. I agree that some underutilized poor bastard better get at least $15/hr to be a seat-filler in that hellhole.
Either way, test your dumb fucking theory: go to Taco Bell and place your order. Then go to the window and tell the person who only takes orders that they have to stay and talk to you the entire time to prove that they don't do anything. Then, explain to them how they're overpaid and that $15/hr \=\= $100K/yr. See how that goes.
