old school 70's or 80's poster that you would find places with a man holding up his hand like "STOP" and a "stop sign" octagon with the word "DON'T" 

with the text saying "For the last time. ABYSS = Staring into, VOID = Screaming into .
Please stop screaming into the abyss we are not insured for that.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Ten years ago, I was at a meeting of reenactment combat trainers (many manly men!) when one made a really inappropriate comment. I rolled my eyes, but another man said "That's a bit rapey, mate" and then changed the subject. It was as easy as that. And as hard as that. I try to follow his lead.

On the market day, the witch stopped by all the stalls. "Have a care," she told the tinsmith. "You're getting fuzzy." "What?" "Do you ponder other paths you could have taken?" "All the time." "Shadows of other yous hang on you, making you indistinct. Don't lose the you you are. You're real."

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

I think this will be one of the defining images of the Premier League's void years: a proudly working class fanbase celebrating that the ruling family of an oppressive regime had hired a barrister on £10,000-an-hour to try and prevent them suffering consequences for their cheating. Embarrassing.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Some food for thought: The Companies Act 2006 makes it an offence for an officer to knowingly or recklessly give an auditor misleading, false or deceptive information (s.501), punishable by up to two years in prison. Fraud Act 2006 charges are also possible.

830m pounds in “sham” income over almost a decade of cheating is hard to get your head around. And even during the hearing evidence given on behalf of the club by witnesses was “false in a number of key respects” and they gave evidence “that they knew to be untrue and so had to be dishonest.”

Today is very Monday. Here is a small bird, bravely trying to face the upcoming week.
A little brown bird is perched atop a wire trellis on a sunny morning, surrounded by a few green leaves. The bird is in profile, looking off into the distance with a determined expression that looks slightly optimistic. Blurry pale green in the background, with a bit of blue sky in the upper right.
