well this looks amazing

Is this good?

When I worked in naval mine warfare requirements development and later on the Iran problem set, I have to admit, we never considered a Presidential tweet as one of the means at our disposal to get a Q-lane going through the Strait.

That’s on me, honestly.

Living in 2026 is an insult to one’s intelligence.

Turns out in war, TACO may not be an option.

Need more Dec.

Tiny extract from a railway employment register, with a column headed 'Cause of leaving' and underneath the single word 'dead'. The next column, 'time-keeping', has the entry 'Good.'

A stark reminder of the bureaucratic logic of work & how we're all just so much productive efficiency ... until we're not.

Nice to know that he was good on his time-keeping though.

Presumably until he was dead.

From an LNWR employment record, 1920s.

Wait, this was the obvious one.

I, too, like to put my own surname in quotation marks. Usually after a 5-day bender on hallucinogenics, when I'm not quite sure if I'm a real, actual, thing.

Keine Entschädigung: Flugzeug in Linz gepfändet Eine nicht geleistete Entschädigungszahlung der irischen Billigfluggesellschaft Ryanair an eine Frau hat auf dem Linzer Flughafen nun eine kuriose Konsequenz nach sich gezogen. Ein Exekutor brachte in...

So because #Ryanair in 2024 treated a passenger to a 13-hour delay and €890 in costs for a new flight, and then simply ghosted her, an Austrian court today impounded one of its airplanes at Linz airport. ooe.orf.at/stories/3345...

Iran's leaders have stated that if the U.S. president continues to golf, they will have no other option than unconditional surrender.

Nice.

Every single person on this side of things is about 100 times stupider than you already assumed

You can see the family resemblance.

This lunch includes all five of the main Dutch food groups: cheese, cucumber, geometry, boredom and sorrow, with most of the vitamin content provided by the soul-destroying view of endless flatness spilling off the far-flung horizon.

1. Are you currently using an AI tool for work-related tasks or projects? * Yes * No, but I would like to (PLEASE SKIP TO QUESTION 7)

My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):

Sure, why not.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Micro-Dickens perhaps

Almost makes sense after achieving nothing in a war without reason to say it’s kind of fulfilled its purpose and move on.
