Companies That Union-Bust Must Now Automatically Recognize Union, NLRB Rules
The National Labor Relations Board issued a ruling on Friday that changes the framework for unionizations, making it easier for workers to organize and harder for companies to fight back against them.
The new process comes as part of a decision in the case between Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, LLC and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, where the Board found that the employer had committed over 20 “instances of objectionable or unlawful misconduct” between the filing of the union election petition and the election itself, intending to dissuade workers from organizing.
always enjoyed the Chess Set In The Foreground perspective framing used here
now also noting like, huh, a chess set in a general store just visited by marigold competitors who killed one of their guys and are now on the way back from their rendezvous point w/suppliers
Thinking about the protective way Clara tells Fleet not to go into DeVries' dangerous-looking training set-up, and about how when Septimus mentions Fleet's friend Fleet's immediate assumption is that he must mean Clara, and about "This is Miss Clara Entwhistle, my partner - in business, my business partner." / "I'm also his friend, but he doesn't like to say it.", and about how Fleet rarely smiles but he smiles to himself at Clara having a good idea (and Clara notices the change in his expression), and about how Clara is trying to work out Fleet's birthday through a process of elimination, and about how Fleet tries twice to shut down the conversation with Frances Byrne that's making Clara uncomfortable, and about how panicked and angry he sounds after realising she's been poisoned...

I understand that budget and time constraints are considerations for the show but I also find that so hard to justify when the musical did it So Right with like a $3 budget and only 2 hours
Accidental... Pregnancy.... - Screw this. Like seriously it's the worst and the reactions to the pregnancy are ALWAYS so bad. Bonus points if he reacts badly to it, asks her to get rid of it (when either mc is not in the mental state to do so or was hoping for a better response when he was having UNPROTECTED WEE WAH WITH HER), and she STILL wants to be with this man???
Tsundere - I just.... like beating somebody up just cause you like them?? What are you, my elementary school bully?
Bully x Victim - what the FUCK???
I don't really like any Best Friend's ____. This includes Best Friend's ex (why would you ever), Best Friend's Sibling (this one comes off very meh to me, but like I would find it strange if my friend dated my brother, and we only have a year difference), and ESPECIALLY Best Friend's LOVER. WHY WOULD YOU CATCH FEELINGS FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND'S ACTUAL CURRENT PARTNER???
Sibling's ex or sibling's lover - no way hosay is it okay to fall for someone your SIBLING liked.
Sibling LOVER - get. away. now. get away from your blood relations. Please. I'm begging you. Stepsiblings are NOT exempt.
Uncle romance??? Cousin Romance???? FAMILLIAL RELATIONS??? I'm looking at Credence right now.
Enemies to Lovers - Now, here me out. See, I like rivals to lovers. But that is SO much more different than enemies to lovers. 'Um, he did enslave my people, killed my family, burned my hometown to smithereens so I will never have a home to return to.... but... he's got the most beautiful blue eyes!' ...I will pass.
Amnesia - bruh EVERY time someone loses the memory of their lover I just close the book. This is actually non negotiable I HATE this.
Second Chance - Nah, we broke up for a reason. No more chances dude it's OVER.
“that’s the very reason the Oblation Board was set up. As our good hostess here could tell you.”
“Really? Is she involved with the Oblation Board?”
“My dear, she is the Oblation Board. It’s entirely her own project –”

Aaron's always described Oriana as the smart one between the two of them, but she gives all the credit to her husband for helping her learn to wind down and not take everything too seriously.
So general question - how are folks thinking about day school vs boarding school for the Roy kids?
I think what we know via the show/script/interviews is:
Kendall attended Buckley which is a k-9 school
Per "Prague" Roman attended St. Andrew's, presumably a reference to St. Andrew's-Sewanee School in Tennessee which is a 6-12 middle/high school (where Roman was probably a boarding student given location)
Alan Ruck has stated he thinks Connor was shipped off to boarding school for most of his educational life
Based on this, I think I had assumed Kendall and Shiv had attended day school and lived at home until college, but in reading some old interviews I came across the below video clip where Sarah mentions Shiv (or maybe all of the kids?) might have also attended boarding school for at least some portion of schooling. On a semi-related note, there's also this clip of Annabelle Dexter-Jones mentioning that Naomi attended a mix of boarding and day schools which may be semi-relevant just considering Naomi's in the same wealth bracket as the Roys (although probably not in the same social circles due to old v. new money, politics, and a few other things).
So I guess where I'm coming out on this is...maybe Shiv also attended boarding school? I can't find anything where Jeremy mentions boarding or day school one way or the other but I could see a world where (a) all the kids attended boarding schools or (b) if they didn't all attend boarding school, Kendall is the one Logan is least likely to allow out of his watch if he was already "troubled" in Logan's view but still rotating it all in my brain (and would be happy to chat about/hear others views)...
Clip of Sarah Snook mentioning boarding school below the cut for those interested:
Q: Have you as an actor thought about what Shiv’s childhood was like or maybe even had explicit conversations with Jesse about what did shiv go through in her childhood until we meet her on screen?
A: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you sort of create a roadmap of imaginative kind of work in what their experiences would have been and what it is like to be shepherded around and farmed off to some – probably in boarding school overseas for a bit, or college overseas at least; or you know, holiday-house to holiday-house which none of them really feel like a home. I love that bit where she’s showing her dad all the houses and homes that they have and he just doesn’t recognize them. The monumental wealth that these people have which leaves them sort of lost and kind of displaced in the world, and especially if they don’t have a home, sort of family strength and foundation to call home.” (x)
