The Man City news isn’t just hilarious now, it’s going to be hilarious for years to come. Possibly even decades.

Trump says every adult American would get $5,000 if Republicans win midterms
Speaking at a party convention, the US president gave no details on how the plan would work or where the money would come from.

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

"Can tech save the world?" is the wrong question. The right question is "what kind of world do we want to build?", and then the tech can help us get there. It's the re-invented worldview that the tech gives you access to that matters. The tech needs to support that worldview, not dictate it.

Happy St George's Day. A reminder that half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population. Some of these aristocratic landowners have inherited land since the Norman Conquest. England needs land reform and a strong Community Right to Buy! whoownsengland.org

Periodic table by lickability :) (by Reddit user: u/Wellihol) Note: this chart is in some cases possibly dangerously inaccurate. e.g. Elemental Calcium can cause fire in the presence of water. So, for any elemental licking experiments, take with a pinch of Na Cl
The image is a playful reinterpretation of the periodic table of elements titled "Can I Lick It?" Instead of categorizing chemical elements, this version appears to classify various substances based on whether they are safe to lick. The design mimics the structured layout of a traditional periodic table, lending a scientific aesthetic to the humorous concept. Below the title, an explanatory text likely provides context for the classification system. The display includes four circular elements, possibly representing different materials or examples relevant to the theme. The combination of scientific visuals and an amusing premise creates an engaging and informative piece. It's not accurate in terms of safety, so don't do this at home.

On pretty much a daily basis, I see someone advocating for relaxing software quality to speed up delivery. You can add that to "adding people to the team will help us deliver sooner" for really bad advice in the majority of cases.
