So the executives can understand them before they hit the ground.

One of Patrick Stewarts other famous roles was as Sejanus, a Roman tyrant who was quite arrogant and self-serving, in I, Claudius.

Stewart didn't disappoint in the role. Highly recommended mini-series and you'll see many other familiar faces.

Patrick Stewart portrayed Sejanus, the leader of the guard of Rome who allegedly attempted to usurp Emperor Tiberius and at the very least was a tyrant in the city for several years while Tiberius lived and ruled from a private island, in the 1976 classic British mini-series I, Claudius.

Sejanus had ruled as a defacto dictator while the actual Emperor lived on a private island, far from the politics of Rome. He seems to have favored himself as next in line to become Emperor and possibly even killed Tiberius's son to ensure he couldn't be succeeded. Sejanus even tried to marry into the family, thus ensuring his eventual ascension.

But fortunes changed for Sejanus, as the gods often did in those days, and Tiberius turned on him. He was called to the senate where a letter from Tiberius was read. Sejanus was certain it was a letter naming him heir apparent. The letter began with some faint flattery of Sejanus before spiraling off into a list of accusations against him. The senate picked up on what Tiberius was hinting at and had Sejanus executed.

I had just finished a rewatch a few weeks ago. Too many familiar faces in that series and anyone who enjoys Roman history will find it a good watch.

Of course, the death of Patrick Stewart is a genuine loss but he played Sejanus well; arrogant, confident, conspiring. I true scoundrel and a character type we rarely associate with Stewart.

He also had hair in the role.

I bet lots of these electronic voting machines have been upgraded to automatically fix votes accidentally cast for the wrong candidate.

The U.S. Department of Labor announced it would suspend Microsoft and Adobe from its Permanent Labor Certification program on Thursday, Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said, as the Trump administration continues to take aim at immigration and foreign hiring programs ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Sonderling said the Labor Department won’t accept or process any new applications under the program for a host of companies, including Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, Tata, Wipro and HCL.

The secretary said Adobe and Microsoft were also suspended “due to multiple active federal investigations.”

“Since 2009, just these companies alone have requested almost 3 million foreign workers. They’ve received over 230,000 H-1B visas approvals and over 100,000 permanent labor certifications. That’s hundreds of thousands of jobs that were taken from American workers,” Sonderling said.

It's not like Jeff Bezos had private dinners with Jeffrey Epstein or invited Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to his private, invitation only, weekend retreat at a private resort he rented out.

Oh wait, he did exactly that and probably a bunch more.
