And now for some good news

Thank you, Costco!

The ones we lost are unpleasant people.

This is what we need to remind businesses who waffle – unlike Costco – about doing the right thing: the customers you lose are the ones that are the most work and who drive away other customers.

My company had a “State of the Union” kind of thing last month with the president of the company going over metrics and plan for the near future. In the Q&A someone asked a thinly veiled question about DEI initiatives going away in other companies, his answer was what i expected in that Diversity & Inclusion has been part of our company’s core beliefs since day one. That’s going nowhere and it made me glad.

His thoughts on why some companies might be doing away with DEI was interesting. Not sure how true it is but he thought that some companies started DEI initiatives as an easy way to market the company to either consumers or employees, basically they’re following a trend. And the current trend is to do away with it so despite pissing people off by doing away with it they figure they can retain or increase business by dumping DEI. This sounds about right to me.

What I read there does sound like good news and I’d watch it. (Eventually, at least; I don’t watch a lot of television.)

… including, yes, Dolly Parton, executive producing with her company Sandollar.

Ooo!

Sarah Michelle Gellar, who would return to her iconic role. […] [as] a recurring role rather than leading the series.

I like that connection to the original series, the progress of character, and the focus being on a new generation of slayer. (Buffy as Giles? Hmm.)

Joss Whedon is not involved.

And there’s the best green flag of all!

The show’s writing was really great, independent of JW. Writers like Jane Espenson were key to the show’s snappy dialog and pacing, as well as subsequent shows like Angel and Firefly.

This still cracks me up. I like how they made fun of themselves and kept shooting even when the lead was injured and couldn’t get out of bed.

That walk! Why Gerry and Sylvia Anderson eventually switched to moving their puppets around in futuristic mobile chairs starting with Stingray… then full-blown in Thunderbirds. Walking is for cavemen!

As trolling goes, this is good news:

For years, officials in the Czech Republic had pushed a dam project to protect a river south of Prague, and the critically endangered species living in it. But the project stalled.

In the meantime, the beavers of Prague simply built dams themselves, saving the government some 1.2 million euros.

The courts will be clogged with all these lawsuits. By the time the rulings are handed down the damage will be done, and impossible to fix.

It was clearly out of line, so I removed it. :woman_shrugging: Just trying not to be an asshole.
