Young professionals entering the workforce are left puzzled by the seemingly endless dictionary of workplace jargon being thrown at them. New research released today by LinkedIn and Duolingo surveyed 1,016 respondents in the UK between the ages of 18 and 76 and found that 48% of Gen Z and Millennials are feeling left out at work because of the use of workplace jargon like "blue sky thinking," and "low-hanging fruit," according to a press release viewed by Insider. (Snip) Some of the most frequently used phrases at work include "moving forwards," "touch base," "circle back," and "ducks in a row."

Major League Baseball has quietly ordered its teams not to wear any Pride uniforms throughout their Pride events. The decision comes amid several companies and organizations facing consumer pushback for promoting LGBT acceptance. News of the MLB directive gained recognition last week when the Tampa Bay Rays reportedly announced its Pride festivities would have a different look, with players not sporting jerseys and hats featuring Pride rainbow patches and logos. The league reportedly announced its decision at an owners meeting in February. The decision follows Rays players declining to wear Pride jerseys in 2022, along with many NHL teams opting
HAMTRAMCK, Mich. — A Detroit-area community has banned LGBTQ+ flags from publicly owned poles after a tense hours long meeting that raised questions about discrimination, religion and the city’s reputation for welcoming newcomers. In protest, a woman speaking during the public comment portion of the Hamtramck City Council meeting kissed a woman standing next to her Tuesday night. (Snip) Hamtramck, population 27,000, is an enclave surrounded by Detroit. More than 40% of residents were born in other countries, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and a significant share are of Yemeni or Bangladeshi descent. The council voted unanimously to display
Democratic governors don't tend to jump at the chance for a sit-down interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News. They also don’t tend to do tours of states they consider hostile to their own, like Florida. But then there's California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom . He prefers the national stage to dealing with the rampant dysfunction happening in his own state. And while Newsom claims he isn't running for president, the evidence suggests he actually is. True, Newsom may not be mounting a primary campaign against a sitting president of his own party who has announced he is running again. But

Astronomers know full well that the sun is very slowly getting brighter, and in a billion or so years time it will make Earth too hot to live on. One scientist is now proposing a radical solution that will let humans live on this planet for longer – physically moving it away from the sun. Albert Zijlstra, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Manchester, suggests shifting Earth further back from the sun by about three million miles. At the moment, Earth is orbiting the sun at a distance of 93 million miles (150 million km) but this needs
President Biden on Friday repeated a false claim that his son, Beau Biden, died while serving in the Iraq War, but also incorrectly stated he ran for president while serving as vice president under former President Barack Obama. (Snip) "I had run when I was vice president, and then Barack and I spent eight years together, and then the new administration came in, and, in the meantime, things changed in our life and our family. I lost my son – we lost our son in Iraq. Anyway – I hadn't planned on running," he added. In contrast to his claims
Ships are piling up in some West Coast ports, and commercial shipping prices are spiking amid a labor fight between port operators and workers, threatening to trigger a new round of supply chain disruptions that could lead to shortages or higher prices. The fight is sparking concerns among lawmakers who worry surging container prices could ripple through the economy and hit all sorts of consumer goods in a repeat of supply chain problems following pandemic shutdowns. “The shippers I know are afraid of what might happen if we shut down our ports,” said Rep. Val Hoyle (D-Ore.), a member of
A self-proclaimed "liberal woman" went viral on TikTok in recent days for posting a video complaining about not being able to find a masculine man who is "not conservative." TikTok user @ms_petch posted the video last week which has since received hundreds of thousands of views. In the clip she shared her dating struggles with her followers, namely the hard time she's had finding a masculine man who matches her progressive views. She opened the video, talking about "one of the saddest realizations" she has ever had, which she claimed was, "as a liberal woman, it is really hard to
The nation is only six days into LGBT Pride Month but is already growing weary of the attention companies such as Target are giving it. In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 48% said that businesses “do too much” to celebrate LGBT Pride Month, nearly triple the 17% who say stores do too little. Another 21% called the effort just right. The survey focused on the heat Target has taken for offering a line of LGBT goods for young people. (Tweet) Rasmussen discovered that about a third of regular Target shoppers, 35%, are turned off and are “less likely” to shop
Over 200 LGBTQ groups angered by Target's decision to pull Pride merchandise from shelves are demanding the company "denounce extremists" and restock all the Pride merchandise in stores and online. (Snip) The organizations laid out a three-part demand calling on Target to restock all the Pride merchandise both in stores and online; ensure the safety of Target employees; and release a statement "reaffirming their commitment to the LGBTQ+ community" within 24 hours. "When it comes to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, there is no such thing as neutrality," the LGTBQ coalition said. The coalition suggested they would continue to support
A wild wolverine was spotted multiple times in California last month, only the second specimen to be verified by experts in the past century, according to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. Over a two-week period in May, the wolverine was reported twice in Inyo National Forest and once in Yosemite National Park. Photos and video of the animal were analyzed by U.S. Forest Service experts, who confirmed it was the same creature due to its body proportions, coloration and movement. "Wolverines can travel great distances, making it likely that the recent sightings are all of the same animal

The Department of Defense scrambled fighter jets to intercept a private jet that entered Washington DC airspace and later crashed into mountainous terrain in southwest Virginia, officials said. The F-16s caused a sonic boom that shook houses across the US Capital at around 3pm as they took off from Andrews Air Force Base in high speed pursuit of the Cessna Citation, a US official told Reuters. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told The Independent the aircraft had taken off from Tennessee bound for New York but had crashed into a sparsely populated area near Staunton, about 150 miles southwest of

America's first black president took aim at black Republican senator Tim Scott for saying his party was 'doing a fabulous job of making progress.'
Scott launched his run for president last month on an optimistic platform and has put his own story of struggle at the center of his campaign, with a philosophy that suggests everyone can succeed if they want to.
But former President Barack Obama said in a podcast released on Thursday that it was time for the Republican Party to get real about how systemic racism shaped the nation's history.
Karl Rove criticized former President Donald Trump this week following the arraignment over his alleged mishandling of classified documents, warning that “America will pay a high price for the former president’s reckless petulance.”
Rove, a former top aide to former President George W. Bush, wrote in an opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that “America has been plunged into an unprecedented crisis by the indictment of Donald Trump.”
“The blame for this calamity rests solely on Mr. Trump and his childish impulse to keep mementos from his time in the Oval Office, no matter what the law says,” Rove said.

It’s Thursday – another day that ends in “day.” You know what that means – more likely than not, Joe Biden is going grope a woman or young child, boy or girl.
Tonight actress Eva Longoria was Joe’s victim.
Joe couldn’t help himself. He grabbed for Eva after her speech.Biden also told the crowd he has known Eva Longoria since he as 40 and she was 17.

Former President Barack Obama is back to throwing criticism towards the Republican Party, recently claiming the GOP has adopted a "big business" attitude.
During a Thursday appearance on David Axelrod's Axe Files podcast, Obama accused the GOP of fueling "anger" and "resentment" from its supporters, claiming the party is struggling because they have embraced an "elitist economic agenda." "We've developed, what we've seen is a Republican Party that has embraced a cultural populism, the kind of populism that we talked about earlier: resentment, anger, you know, exploiting people's sense that things are rigged," Obama said.

Wednesday night, Joe Biden announced a bizarre and implausible plan to build a railroad that stretches across the entire Indian Ocean.
In remarks to the League of Conservation Voters during their Annual Capital Dinner, Biden said: “You know, soon—soon, Africa will have 1 billion people. China has their Belt and Road Initiative. It turned out to be their debt and destruction initiative. No, I’m serious. Not a joke. Well, we’re going to win, and we’re going to help.”
He added: “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean.
Oversight Chair James Comer now claims he will soon obtain bank records showing the Biden family accepted upwards of $20 to $30 million from foreign nationals.

Scientists have stunned the world by revealing the creation of synthetic human embryos in a lab without eggs or sperm.
The breakthrough, by Cambridge University and California Institute of Technology experts, could soon provide insights into miscarriages and genetic disorders.
However, synthetic embryos are not covered by laws in the UK or in most countries around the world – and come with serious ethical and legal issues. Scientists who were not involved in the achievement have now shared their concerns about the technology, with one calling it 'chilling'.
Conservative radio host Clay Travis called former Vice President Mike Pence "pretty disrespectful" to his old boss in a tense interview Wednesday about whether the Republican presidential candidate would pardon Donald Trump if elected president.
Travis, who along with co-host Buck Sexton has said the federal prosecution of Trump for mishandling classified documents is politicized, challenged Pence to directly answer if he would pardon Trump as a matter of principle.
"These are serious charges," Pence said. "I can't defend what's been alleged, but the president does deserve to make his defense."
President Joe Biden on Thursday snapped at a reporter who asked him why he was called 'Big Guy' by a Burisma executive as revealed in an FBI memo.

'Why did you ask such a dumb question?,' Biden snapped back.DailyMail.com revealed earlier this week that Biden was referred to as the 'Big Guy' by a Burisma executive who allegedly paid him a $5 million bribe and who has kept 17 audio recordings of phone calls as an 'insurance policy.'
The Ron DeSantis campaign on Thursday slammed a Space Force lieutenant general who admitted that she discriminated against qualified service members for military assignments if she believed they or their family would not be “safe” being stationed in a state with “anti-LGBTQ” laws, such as in Florida.
The campaign tweeted: SHOCKING: Space Force Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt admits the U.S. military discriminates against Floridians when considering promotions — leading to “less qualified” officers — because @RonDeSantis banned trans surgeries for KIDS. DeSantis will end this woke insanity on Day One. Space Force Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt last week, during a Pentagon Pride Month ceremony, blasted “anti-LGBTQ+” legislation as “dangerous”
In case you had any lingering doubts that forcibly shutting down the entire economy over a virus and replacing economic activity with government payments does not represent a smart strategy, the Associated Press has more evidence to bolster the case.
Its latest investigation, titled “The Great Grift,” highlighted the staggering scope of fraud taxpayers face because of Covid-era programs. On the heels of earlier AP investigations that showed significant spending on projects that had little to do with the coronavirus, the story provides one major explanation — albeit an infuriating one — for our nearly $32 trillion-and-counting federal debt.
