Wow, sounds like those on strike are vital to the business and should be fairly compensated given their contribution to the bottom line.

I am saddened to learn (via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fandom_names#K) that Kelly Clarkson fans call themselves “Kellebrities.”
“Kelly Clarkstans” was right there, people!

What's the difference between a hippo and a Zippo?
One's very heavy and the other's a little lighter
I was thinking about Benoit Blanc, Hercule Poirot, Sherlock Holmes.
Has the celebrity detective ever been a thing outside of fiction?
Implied injury
How many times in my life do you think I've managed to close a pocket knife without incident?
Finished reading: Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky 📚
Quite different to the previous two in the series, but ultimately just as interesting an exploration of life. https://micro.blog/books/9781529087185
