It isn't like there are no law preventing monopolies. It's just that the government(s) stopped enforcing the law.

Who's the tiny little man at the bottom? Also, related: what the fuck is going on? Like, generally with these freaks? An 88 ft. parody Bayeux Tapestry made with shitty AI. Existentially bleak.

Coming up with punny chart titles for my weekly contribution to the @navigatepolitics.uk is becoming a guilty pleasure... That aside, did you know that 20% of MPs did their undergraduate at Oxbridge? Or that more MPs studied at Sussex than Exeter or Bristol?

And yet an uneasy truce was brokered by the Dutch, the Danish and Germany. And hence forth bicycles were tamed and set to work by humans for many purposes...

Dammit, the Moon is doing a spectacular thing and as usual, it will not fit in my camera at all.
View over tan plains with cholla and distant blue mountains. The sky is blue but pink where the Belt of Venus hits. The moon is vanishing into clouds that cannot be seen as anything but the same shade of blue, and thus looks like a lidded eye.

Yes, I made a joke that clearing my schedule to do this was absolute madness, but it’d be fine, shut up, it’ll be fine! Apparently this was taken as either “did a sloppy job” or “bragging about writing six books in a year” not “self-deprecating joke that I should not have done this to myself.”

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase

@techconnectify.bsky.social I'm hoping you can help, I have a device with a Type A plug, but I've blown the fuse and I can't find where to get a replacement in the UK. Do they have a special name I can search for? Even when I was in America recently I couldn't find anywhere that sold them.

You can hear the caller steeling himself, knowing he has one chance to get to the end, hoping and praying Farage feeds him the right line, then *just* holding it together enough to give the deadpan response.

About 20 years ago (hence the crappy photo), I was riding through Center City in a van on a work job. I shouted "Paul! pull over a second!" "What's wrong?" he asked. "Nothing, but I need to take a picture of that pot plant growing in the crack under that fence." He pulled over.

Malophile [MAL-oh-file] (n.) - One with a fondness for apples; an ardent apple enthusiast. Use: “A zealous malophile, Farmer Cludd tended an orchard of Orange Pippins whose unwholesome roots, it was whispered, reached into the very bowels of Hades, where they drank the blood of the damned.”
A "Grandiloquent Word of the Day" meme for “Malophile,” meaning an ardent apple enthusiast. An antique engraving shows Johnny Appleseed tending young apple trees. The example sentence reads: “A zealous malophile, Farmer Cludd tended an orchard of Orange Pippins whose unwholesome roots, it was whispered, reached into the very bowels of Hades, where they drank the blood of the damned.”
