CEO jobs are largely gotten by who you know; who you golf with; who you drink with. Women execs who don’t join the men on the greens or in the bars are at severe disadvantages because the decision makers don’t know them very well.

It's kinda obvious that most of the world believes that disasters and horrors are just the normal state of affairs for the African continent.

I watch every time there is a tragedy and the reactions are always pretty much the same.

I watch/read a lot of international news but I haven't seen much mention of the floods in Libya in comparison to other recent global disasters.

Try not to die from a preventable disease just because you think it's a government conspiracy.

Oh, yeah. If you didn't know, I am a fan of American football. I don't have a favorite team. Never have. I have hated teams, though.

It is...interesting that there are so many Mike Vick-like QBs in the league now. Almost like he was a game-changing player.

Wait. Did Roders just get injured? Unreal.

Aaron Rodegrs as a Jet just looks strange. On that note, what makes a QB want to play for the Jets? Is it madness?

I cannot believe I'm being forced to watch the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. Smh. Outrageous.

In the sense that he was barely portrayed at all? I personally didn't much like how any characters were portrayed and I find it quite telling that Lynch's version managed to squeeze in fully-formed characters for most people in a fraction of the time (exceptions being Chani - but she's paper thin in the book too, and Alia who was a victim of the overly rushed second half of Lynch's film).

nostr:npub19rnsqrfza50vxqpnwkl6n70uryde37v90xha5kj45r9qthxxmsysqdsf9u I thought Momoa as Duncan Idaho was pretty good; kinda iffy on Brolin as Gurney. That's mostly because his close relationship with Paul never really got explored. I wish Piter had gotten a bit more screen time, but other than those I mentioned, I more or less liked the casting decisions.

Have there always been 31 days in August? That doesn't seem right? Who amended the month??!

as soon as i saw manchin and lieberman are involved, it's obviously it's just a spoiler to try to screw up the non-GOP vote.
