How Managers Can Do A Better Job Sharing The Bad News About Layoffs - Forbes (No paywall) The steady stream of layoffs following the Great Resignation has spilled into 2024 with about 186 tech companies cutting over 49,386 jobs this year, according to Layoffs.fyi. Although the CEO outlook for 2024 remains positive about the deployment of artificial intelligence, business transformations and mitigating expenses, it has come at the cost of the workforce in the United States.
Although employers are making relatively smaller cuts this year by staggering them, employees have been impacted across a wide range of sectors, including technology, gaming, finance, retail and media.

WorkSchiff Led the ‘Nerd Caucus’ Before the Trump Era. Now He’s a Senate Favorite.

WorkInsiders Reveal Major Problems at Lab-Grown-Meat Startup Upside Foods - WIRED (No paywall)
 On July 1, five diners sat down at the counter of the Michelin-starred Bar Crenn in San Francisco for an unusual meal. They had won a competition to become the first customers in the US to eat cultivated meat—real animal cells grown in bioreactors instead of a living animal. For a nominal price of $1, they tucked into two pieces of a cultivated chicken fillet made by the California startup Upside Foods, one of only two companies cleared to sell cultivated meat in the US. “I thought it was delicious,” says Oscar Merino, one of the diners. “The taste and the texture was incredible.” Work

WorkWorkThe Supreme Court's Confused Ruling on the Trump Ballot Case
 The Supreme Court showed it can act with speed by allowing Trump to continue his presidential campaign and punching down states’ ability to disqualify insurrectionist candidates. Indeed, the Court showed it could do so even on hard constitutional questions. Its decision, however, only exacerbates questions about the Court’s reasons for acting—questions that will deepen doubts about the Justices’ even-handedness and freedom from partisan tugs. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkThe Supreme Court’s decision centers on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
 Other issues that arose during the briefings and arguments turned out not to be important in the Supreme Court’s handling of the issue. In particular, Mr. Trump’s legal team had argued that Section 3 did not apply to him on the theory that the phrase in the amendment “officer of the United States” should be interpreted as covering only appointed officials and not elected presidents. None of the justices embraced that reasoning. WorkWorkJoe Biden’s Superfans Think the Rest of America Has Lost Its Mind
 Ms. Russell and Ms. Staller are ardent, unreserved supporters of Mr. Biden — part of a small but dedicated group of Democratic voters who think that he is not merely the party’s only option against Donald J.

 Rightwing senators from the Républicains party voted against a first attempt to change the constitution in October 2022.

 Just last week, UFC bantamweight champion Sean O\'Malley and Ryan Garcia got into a back-and-forth on social media about wanting to fight each other in boxing.

 Caglianone is just plain out of this world. Dominant on both sides of the ball, Caglianone has improved his game even more from last season. This past weekend, he recorded a career-high 11 strikeouts against Miami, and of course, hit a home run in the same game, too. He has four total home runs this season and 22 hits to go along with 13 RBIs.

 Atlanta RHP Reynaldo Lopez started Saturday\'s game against a formidable Toronto lineup of regulars and tossed three shutout innings. Lopez has been a full-time relief pitcher in recent seasons, but he sure looks to be in the lead for the No. 5 rotation spot over Bryce Elder and others, and since this is the Braves and they score so many runs, we have to start taking this seriously in fantasy.

Although we agree that Colorado cannot enforce Section 3, we protest the majority’s effort to use this case to define the limits of federal enforcement of that provision.
