In medieval times, the monarch was allowed to have the first bite of any meal ordered by his subjects, a policy known as prima nachos. This is also where we get the modern word “duck”: Digestion Under Consent of the King.

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars.
Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

BREAKING: President Trump signed an Executive Order today requiring Sec. of the Interior Burgum to explore removing federal protections for gray wolves + Mexican gray wolves. It's clearly meant to appease ranchers, despite the biggest threat to their businesses coming from tariffs, not wolves.

In a letter to multiple European ambassadors today, President Trump says that because Norway failed to give him a Nobel Peace Prize, “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace” The letter goes on to demand “complete and total control of Greenland.”

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 15/09/2025
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting in front of a whiteboard, where Green has crudely illustrated a hole, a table at the bottom of the hole, and two foxes sitting on the opposite ends of the table. Holding a pointing stick, Green taps at the board, as Blue listens attentively.
Green: We dig a hole, and then set up our game table there.
Blue: Right.

Having drawn a cover over the hole, Green taps at the addition.
Green: Then we cover the top and wait for an unsuspecting victim.
Blue: Huh.

Green taps at the whiteboard again, pointing at the most recent addition to the drawing: A startled third fox falling through the cover at the top.
Green: Eventually someone will fall through.
Blue: I see.

Last, Green's illustration looks the same as it did in the first panel, save that there are now three foxes sitting at the table. Blue turns to look at Green with suspicion.
Green: And they'll have no choice but to play with us.
Blue: Are you sure this would work?

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

#History
It's a series of stills from a US TV cartoon I know loads of people have probably heard of, but I don't watch, so I have no idea who the two characters are. Someone's used them to act out a scene from British/American history. The blue character represents Britain, the pink one represents the colonies. Basically the script goes like this:
UK: This is our debt from the 7 Years War (hand holding out a bit of paper)
Colonies: Uh Huh
UK: Which we fought to protect you from the French
Colonies: Yup
UK: Now we need to pay back our debt.
Colonies: That makes sense to me.
UK: So we have to raise your taxes
Colonies: REVOLUTION!!!!

NB. The UK didn't finish paying the US back for the loans they gave us for WWII until 2006.... One rule for one, another rule for another..
