Has anyone seen a Careers Knowledge Panel recently? They used to always appear when you added "jobs" or "careers" to a company name. Since just before the August Core Update, there were fewer and now none, as far as I can tell.

"I mean, this is a few individuals putting dark money behind an organization," Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said about the third-party group No Labels. https://t.co/sG6CqezEvW

This is an fantastic story with some incredible people. Real life magic wars, Olympic medals for "swimming" (but not what you think), with a side order of poetry.

With thanks to @nosuchthing and @Schreiberland for first telling me about this.

Rudolf Diesel envisaged a better future, hoping he could fuel his engine on peanut oil and democratise the economy. The effort killed him.
Eldad and Meidad also tried to warn about the future, and Joshua tried to silence them. But Moses encouraged them.

Recently, @TimHarford mocked Edward Bok twice in #CautionayTales so I started reading about Bok so I could make fun of him too. But actually, though he has some out-of-date views, I found him overall very impressive. Let me know what you think.

Two years ago, on February 17th, my mother passed away. I had her in mind while writing this.

Thank @davidwalliams. My 11-year-old really enjoyed reading Gangsta Granny which he finished this weekend.

Redundant question: has any Jewish conservative pundit trashed the Fuentes Mar-a-Lago dinner?

@ESHbyESH @MooYum_Hirschm I think that is Rabbie Burns telling the story.

@jon_hutchinson_ I just checked, and I have a conflict because I'm supposed to take home the school hamster on the same day. So I hope someone else can take my turn.

Antisemitism

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

We changed our style in 2021 to antisemitism, not anti-Semitism. The past style was based on common usage. But some say that could give credence to the idea that Jews are a separate race. A growing number of Jewish organizations and others have moved to the style antisemitism.
