Bringing back public executions but only on condition all the equipment is anthropomorphised and gurning like a weirdo on a boat.

Weird anyone thought it needed a proverb really isn't it.

What if, and hear me out on this, I want to read him like an oracle might read a lamb or calf? Please respond quickly, I think I can hear the mortician returning.

Whenever I see someone defending an institution with "it's just a few bad apples" I always wanna say 'areeee you gonna finish that proverb?'

Oh look I appear elsewhere in history as well bsky.app/profile/greg...

Same here but the issue is remembering how to sto spelling bureaueueuauaucracy

Never heard it call being "not economically productive" before, but fair play, comrade.

A small cat in front of a red flag with hammer and sickle and star in it and the caption "*ourgasm"

Please don't encourage us to do that.

Oh bravo! It's rare to see goatse and 2 girls 1 cup both referenced in a single homage. Stirling work.

*breathes deeply* There, I feel better now.

The thing about bad apples, the thing that the "it's just a few bad apples" people always forget, what's really fucking important about having one or two bad apples in your barrel of apples... ...IS THAT THE BADNESS SPREADS FROM APPLE TO APPLE AND YOU HAVE TO THROW OUT THE WHOLE ROTTEN BARREL!

I am absolutely all for companies who manage access to the internet being responsive and responsible in terms of what they surface to users. On the other hand, it shouldn't make the platform nearly unusuable as a search engine thanks to the LLM reading my queries going bananas at me.

Similarly, I recently had cause to search for terms related to eating disorders and some of the unhelpful/unhealthy communities that are out there. Google would not stop trying to intervene and kept pushing ED charities at me, framed very directly as "you need support".

"oh you know, been better, been worse" you start, cheerfully. Then you pause, but just before they can respond you have to mutter darkly "been a lot better, barely ever been worse. Still. It'll end one day, I know that much".

Realpolitik crack, is what that was.

The Venezuela op went too well. Absolutely broke their minds that they could successfully snatch a head of state, fly them out of the country and have the local government fall into a new order within a week. The 'plan' for Iran was "kill the leadership, talk to the new guys, bishbashbosh"

...you may be onto something. I drive a convertible and my rule is: no rain = no roof.

It's important to let the inner dork out, get some exercise and fresh air!

Spot the odd one out. (That is my 'unbridled glee at being afloat' face.)

Or it's his "I'm on a boat!" face.

Hard agree. It's got all the worst bits of sailing (getting wet, attacks by jealous sea mammals) and none of the benefits (sailing).

God, mine sounds like it's about a complete hipster. Next line down is probably "regularly uses beard oil". I also wonder how it's gauging hobbies: I have no greenhouse and I do not play guitar regularly. I have also purchased precisely one (1) each of a Lego train and a VR related item via Amazon.

Absolutely a luxury purchase - mine was to mark twenty years in healthcare & the start of a change of direction in my career (that would see me WfH full time) - and it's genuinely a pleasure to use.

Mine has a switchable solenoid installed, as the very early ones did, to make it sound and feel a little like a typewriter when you're using it. It's very pleasing to use, if somewhat loud.

I've walked headlong into Iceland's wind for many many kilometres of trekking and I gotta tell you, it did not have anything good to say. We gotta stage an intervention.

I grew up* in back when ADHD was considered a completely fake diagnosis invented by Americans and big pharma and/or stigmatised to the point that a diagnosis was seen as little better than a ticket to a young offenders institution. I wonder why so many people my age got diagnosed in their 30s & 40s

Can't sit with an unwed friend and take turns stroking a cat's tummy fluff either.

Hold up, they've lost a close to a squadron of Eagles at this point?! I know that Kuwait got three in an afternoon, but still, another nine on top of that? Jesus Christ.
