Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 3hI really wonder when they talk about how many data centers and how big AI will be...are they assuming people will actually do this kind of thing? 000
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 8hIn corporate world my company scheduled a forum, an all hands and a town hall. So I'm not sure if I should wear a toga, a mariners outfit, or just my best small town citizen clothes. 010
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 8hAlright, calling a moratorium on 'mob rule'. It literally means using force and intimidation to bypass rules and government. It literally cannot apply to awarding a government contract outside of some sort of coup situation. 020
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 8hIt's Jools Holland if all the stylistic choices were the exact opposite. 030
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 07/10/2026If you're proud to be British, but you're not English, and England are playing France and it's on in the pub you're in, who do you support? (The pub is in Scotland) 220

Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Hear me out. Black Doves. It doesn't even get bad as such, just that the sort of reveal of the baddies is so sloppy and lazy it ruins it for me. 010
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Like, I don't know anything in particular about air defences, but I know they involve planes, boats, radar systems and these days drones and mobile fire groups. She seems to be trying to just failing to say she'll upgrade air defence to the tune of $10bn. 010
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 06/10/2026TBF, she doesn't seem to be able to articulate the layman's basic understanding of an air defense system. So I assume a pretty sizeable majority of the blame has to land on her communication skills. 110
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In some depictions, god has clearly told Noah about Giraffes, and in cases like this he clearly hasn't. Absolute scenes on embarcation day. 020
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Isn't this just a description of our current air defense plan? 020
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Because Great Britain? Maybe us here in Kent if France falls? The UK? A UK Cypress base has been hit by drones. Every protectorate? Going to get pretty expensive pretty quickly. 010
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026As being a pedant about this kind of thing seems to be de jour for the Tories. What do they mean by Britain? I shouldn't complain though really, I live in one of the only two towns this could conceivably actually be in aid of. 110
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026(the argument that it's better if all kids get the same free school doesn't even apply here really since it's the same providers) 000
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I don't think anyone really thinks it should. There's just the weird incentive thing that I'd be worse off if I took a better paid job right now. I could afford to pay for some childcare now too, so just tapering the free childcare from a lower point even would be better. 210
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026TBF it affects me and some neighbours and we live in an ex Tory seat that's now labour, reform, I think moved into second. (Also don't think any of us care that much) 140
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026At best, you can say that Russia's economy is more globally strategically important than it's Gdp suggests. Which is only relevant when Russia is being the baddy. 040
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This argument is so dumb but kind of enlightening. Like, the obvious answer is 'depends on the context' but these people have to do mental summersaults to do the ethno-nationalism schtick. 000
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I also like to look mournfully at ice cream vans and say 'i hope it's not serious' for the real dads in the know. 041
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm guessing he's heard about chapter 11 and got a bit overexcited 000
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Not only is speaking German not the bad thing. But they kinda didn't make people speak German that much. 000
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Isn't being a mouthpiece to sway public opinion literally his job? 3320
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 02/10/2026All later films carry on mostly as normal but the avengers are mostly brought together to handle the endless bureaucracy of dealing with the fall out of negligence cases and raising money and awareness for bike lanes and a new hospital ward and stuff. 000
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 02/10/2026You mean because of the social care crisis? It would actually be great if they killed half of the characters off in gritty real life politically charged ways then battles a baddy for like 5 minutes. 110
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Squeezes completely misinterpreting an economic system in between too. 000
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This is what happens when one of you orders off the specials menu. If they'd both stuck to big macs would've been 20 minutes tops. 010
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Well, yea, but the only mid Atlantic country I know of is Greenland, which is ... Danish... In the EU 000

Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I'd also argue Ireland is more of an island and more on the edge of the continent than the rest of the UK. 000
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you watch the early ones you can see the exact day when having 70 miles of cable built into your walls so you could have music in every room changed from being something to show off about into a massive waste of time and money. 150
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026My kinda boring blind guess is something like. 'someone, probably Iranian intelligence, hired some guys to do part of what looks like a bomb plan without them knowing who. They didn't get far enough to know much about the plan'. 010
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I guess there's a chance 5 people were asked/hired to do a non criminal part of a plan without knowing what they were part of somehow. And could quickly show the cops. Might explain why one called the cops supposedly, if they thought something seemed weird. 010
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Oh yea, I just meant more that we were stealing a whole different set of spices than the main one people think of. And tea. Shit loads of tea. Nobody can accuse us of not being good tea thiefs. 050
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Oh yea that's definitely true. And I assume it's very easy to say, for instance, the players can say they were PL winners but the club can't. And the club has to compensate every team by one place for all those years or something. 120
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Also in the below example. He's just made the situation up that's a mess. The PL hasn't said what they plan to do. (I do kinda think it should be forward looking though, like, dock 25 points for the next 5 years) 100
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think it's probably that so many things (looking at you cheap ice cream) say they're vanilla flavoured when they use such minimal/synthesised amounts that people conflate sugar and milk with vanilla. 060
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026We will put cinnamon and star a-fucking-nise in wine and heat it up. Absolute scenes. Our national drink is just spices and bathwater to the extent we had to right off like a decade. 0330
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Like have you seen the wanton recklessness we'll apply cloves to a ham? Outrageous decadence, zero flavour. Sometimes we just jab them into oranges and don't even eat the thing. 1400
Jon close @joeyclose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The millionth reason it doesnt really work is because we very much did use it everywhere, mostly in stupid places. The million and oneth is that vanilla is now a byword for boring. The millionth and twoth is that most people just mean chilli which most people got from Spain/Portugal. 3550
