• Thread summarizing the wild conversation between an Amazon HR representative and a Union organizer. It took me three reads of this opening sentence to make understand the situation, someone complained to HR that Heather had said, "Heather has a lot of good things to say."
• If you wanted to know why a number of US Senators have come together to state that use of Nuclear Weapons against Ukraine would be considered an attack on NATO, here's a translation/summary of Putin's speech announcing the annexation of part of Ukraine TL;DR: it's surprisingly reminiscent of QAnon stuff.

• Many people were discussing this thread about Obama's private take on Trump in January 2017. TL;DR: Obama seems to have gotten a lot right.
• Thread assessing floor plans that result from converting offices to residential. It's not the best use of space, but it could work.
