There are makers, and there are takers.
I make, and they take.
Maryland’s new FAMLI payroll charge starts Jan. 1, 2027.
Workers could lose up to 0.45% of wages from their paychecks. Many employers pay another 0.45%.
But benefits don’t begin until 2028.
Annapolis calls it insurance.
For workers and businesses, it’s another mandatory cost.

The statue of Prometheus is finally finished.
It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this.
People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny.
But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity.
In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history.
After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome.
Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.
You know a drug prescription is expensive when...your credit card company sends you an alert of the purchase "due to excessive amount"
Went to @QuestDX this morning to get a blood draw. I have insurance. Before the draw, they asked if they could put my credit card on file. I asked, "Am I going to be charged for this draw?" No, they confirmed. After I left, a $465.76 charge appeared on my credit card. WTF!?
Currently on a @United flight to an @Atlassian event. I'm using Rovo CLI to do my work. There is no way I could have done this on old airline wifi. @Starlink is a gamechanger. I can be productive this whole flight.
Thank you to @erie_insurance for not returning my calls, giving me the strength to cancel the life insurance policy I had with you, instead of paying you $10,224.36 a year. Because of competition, you had to FAFO
Thank you to my In-laws for the Father's Day card. To the @USPS person who opened the envelope to steal a gift card, you can suck it.

The NYT is predictably tearing down Reese Witherspoon for encouraging moms to try AI before they ingest the anti-AI pablum as truth
Instead of linking to the NYT op-ed, I think you should watch this video and encourage you to follow Reese Witherspoon on Instagram
My 6th @Atlassian TEAM event is less than 2 weeks away. It will be a week of executive briefings, the Strategy Collection Customer Advisory Council, talking with customers on the Expo floor, and leading a fireside chat on stage with one of our customers. events.atlassian.com/team/se…
We've been working on this for months, and it's finally here.
Today, we're publishing Leading the Human + AI Enterprise — @Atlassian's research report on the future of Strategic Portfolio Management.

I'm at the airport (again). I find it fascinating that so many people do video calls (in public). I put in AirPods, go stand in a corner away from people, and still lower my voice.
Just made it through @Dulles_Airport @TSA. They were professional and efficient. Now imagine doing that while not being paid for a month. The U.S. Senate needs to do its job and pay these people.
See you in Anaheim in May!

After my most recent trip to Europe, where the paid Internet was unusable, I'm so excited that @Starlink is coming. An 8-hour business flight is even more painful when you have slow or no Internet.
