On the menu instead? Raw egg yolk and puréed chicken liver.  The child, named Schizandra, then moved on to sardines, butter and ice pops made out of bone broth. She gnawed on leg of lamb.

Tesla tried to reinvent the gas station—it’s totally wrong about the future of charging Jul 26, 2025 at 1:14 PM # Fast Company ### Tesla tried to reinvent the gas station—it’s totally wrong about the future of charging Jul 26, 2025 at 1:14 PM [Fast Company](https://apple.news/AFMQFvRWPRNCRw5EjsW9fDA) First, faster charging is on the horizon. In China, BYD is rolling out EVs with batteries designed to charge in five or six minutes, and building a network of ultra-fast chargers to support the vehicles. Solid-state batteries, under development now, will also enable fast charging when they eventually come to market. If faster-charging battery technology becomes widespread, the typical gas station model wouldn’t have to change.

In fact, three-year-old Mariska rolled completely under the front seat, and was only found after emergency services had driven away from the scene, when one of her brothers realised she was missing.

That Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose. Jun 30, 2025 at 1:19 PM # The Atlantic ### That Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose. Jun 30, 2025 at 1:19 PM [The Atlantic](https://apple.news/AfStReyW4TkC8-QwiU4es4Q) In hindsight I’ll say: I always thought going crazy would be more exciting—roaming the street in a bathrobe, shouting at fruit. Instead I spent a weary season of my life saying representative. Speaking words and numbers to robots. Speaking them again more clearly, waiting, getting disconnected, finally reaching a person but the wrong person, repeating my story, would I mind one more brief hold. May my children never see the emails I sent, or the unhinged delirium with which I pressed 1 for agent.

Lack of coordination over military deployment poses 'significant' challenge as immigration protests continue Jun 10, 2025 at 1:14 PM # Los Angeles Times ### Lack of coordination over military deployment poses 'significant' challenge as immigration protests continue Jun 10, 2025 at 1:14 PM [Los Angeles Times](https://apple.news/AhxIRlszvQMm5h5d898QCXA) On Tuesday morning, Kazumi Tsuji, owner of Millet Crepe in Little Tokyo, walked around her business and the surrounding buildings with a handful of burning sage. She passed by a scrawl of fresh graffiti spray-painted overnight. "It's to keep away the evil spirits," she said of the sage. "I'm OK with protests but setting fires, destroying businesses, all of that seems like people who just want to start chaos." While her shop was not damaged, around the corner what appeared to be masked teenagers smashed a glass door with a skateboard near the Shoe Palace. Property manager Frank Chavez showed a Times reporter footage of the individuals bashing a security camera around 10:30 p.m. Despite the damage nothing was missing from the building, he said.

The original edition of Emily Post’s Etiquette, published in 1922, had little to say about workplaces. Post advised women, who mostly filled secretarial roles at the time, to leave their personal lives at home (“Mood, temper, jealousy … are the chief flaws of the woman in business”) and to not waste much of an employer’s time freshening up. But in a single incisive line, Post distilled the central difficulty of office life: “It takes no small amount of will and self-control,” she wrote, “to get on with any constant companion under the daily friction of an enforced relationship that is unrelieved day after day, week after week.” Basically: Hell is other people.
