a graph of year-on-year change in US tech employment
Brutal numbers for US tech sector jobs released today—overall, employment decreased by 12k last month and is down 57k over the last year
That's now nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and significantly worse than either the 2008 or 2020 recessions

And all the Americans are SO TOUCHED by how kind, welcoming, and generous the RedNote users have been with their time and hospitality.
And so, Americans started diving into actual RedNote content -- grocery hauls, recipes, day-in-the-life, etc.
And.........they're........confused?
This is excellent, enjoy.

5 year aged sake
Fresh sake
Nikka Frontier whisky
I got cornered by the liquor store lady to try this five year "aged" sake, but it was actually pretty good. I was getting the sales pitch in English and got a funny face when I said I will try to see if it's on ふるさと納税.
Picked up some frontier and a vermouth I need for a party.
If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

Took them out today and the answer is yes. The ANC is better in the city, also the BT connectivity never dropped even once.
These are the Bang & Olufsen replacing the Sony ones which tbf are pretty good already!
New cans are a big step up from the WH1000-XM3. Will be testing out the ANC in Shibuya tomorrow 🤞 #H100
