"The Sweetest Taboo" is a song by English band #Sade from their second studio album, #Promise (1985). It was released in October 1985 as the album's lead single. While the song peaked at number 31 on the #UKSinglesChart, it fared considerably better in the United States, where it reached number five on the #Billboard Hot 100 in March 1986, remaining in the top 40 for 13 weeks.

“You can’t be a manager in a decently-sized company to make it easier for your night owl underlings.”

I refuse to accept this.

I don’t know what you deem ‘decently-sized’, but for the last 20-some years (since we adjusted our hiring contracts back in 2005 after I stopped working as an employee and switched to employer full time) we have tried to do just that: make it easier for our team (our people) to work when they perform best and that suits them and their life to the fullest.

But it is not easy. Customers and suppliers just do not (want to) understand. And if the moment you work is spreaded across the clock is combined with different communication styles and registration of what has been done is also hard, the cost of getting things completed is sometimes very high.

In the end working like this costs a lot of effort of everybody and every time the team changes you have to go through a cycle of ‘redefinition’ of what is considered reasonable and what is acceptable.

I guess that is why many people just ‘accept’ what is deemed ‘normal’ and adjust, at the cost of those who can’t. I will never! #promise

[Video] #Lawrence: #Trump knows he does not have the #mental and #cognitive #health to #debate #VicePresident #KamalaHarris.

Lawrence says that while Donald Trump is refusing to debate Vice President Harris after breaking his #promise to #participate in a #presidentialdebate on #ABC and is sticking to “the #laziest #presidential #campaign #schedule since the invention of jet travel,” Vice President Harris put together “the single strongest group of campaign winners.”

Trump’s pledges should be taken both seriously and literally.

He has, for the most part, sought to do the extreme things that were dismissed as mere rhetoric when first promised, from enacting a “Muslim ban” to refusing to accept the results of an election.
And yet, here we are again, with Trump making even more extreme promises to “terminate” the Constitution, seek “retribution” against political opponents, and be a “dictator” (just on day one), only to see people unsure what to make of or how to respond to these threats.

This report aims to alter these dynamics by clearly showing how Trump would follow through on his most extreme anti-democratic pledges for a second term and then offering expert recommendations for how to mitigate that danger. 
The bulk of the report looks specifically at three things: Promises, Powers, and Plans. 
• It collects a set of promises Donald Trump has made, in his own words, for what he would do in a second term. It places them in their proper context, coming amidst a resurgence of similar authoritarians worldwide that Trump has openly admired and modeled himself after.
• It examines the powers of the presidency and how they could be used to implement those promises. It explains the legal mechanisms that will be applied to turn Trump’s campaign promises into government policy and programs. And, it assesses the previously available guardrails that could constrain or prevent these abuses of power and the extent to which they will still hold.
• It explores the plans Trump and his allies have drafted to circumvent or override the checks in our system that otherwise have or could restrain his most extreme intentions. Based on expert input, it describes how these policies will play out in practice and negatively impact American life upon implementation.
