    UK had those laws, but Rupert Murdoch had lunch with Margaret Thatcher right before he purchased the Times of London, giving him a 40% market share in news media in the country. You wanna take a guess on whether those laws were enforced after their little meeting?

    Reminds me of the ridiculous advice I’ve heard from my parents of just showing up to pester the boss at the job you want until they hire you. It may have worked before the days of LinkedIn and Indeed, but these days the people picking out application candidates almost always have nothing to do with the position they’re hiring for.

    If there’s one thing I truly miss about attending church, it’s getting too see and hear that pipe organ up close. The one my parents took me to had all the pipes up behind and above the stage, so they kind of loomed over everything. I would get entranced just staring at the pipes and not hear a word the pastor was saying.
