If you design an app and include an intrusive notification that asks me whether I want to do something and only offers me a choice between "yes" and "later", and then just keeps prompting me, please know that everyone hates you

I understand that a business prepares for all scenarios, but this is a bit like your taxi driver wears a racing helmet and six point seating belts, but reassures you you'll be fine in the back seat don't worry.

Clicking Google's fun whimsical throwback logo today sends you to an AI chat pre-filled with a goofy prompt and immediately hits you with a warning that it is potentially dangerous to continue. You couldn't make a better commentary on how badly they have fucked up the internet if you tried.

The correct approach to a job interview is a raktajino, feet on the desk, and a smile saying "I killed 100 Cardassians during the occupation, you are not going to scare me"

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation

Someone smoking a brisket and poking it with a meat thermometer to see what the internal temperature is

An Arab player of the Israel national team was sent off after imitating a snooker shot with a corner flag. It is claimed by the media he was mimicking shooting a rifle. Obvs by journalists that have never seen a rifle or a snooker pole in use. It is nevertheless an offense to remove the corner flag.

The problem is that there are 2 phases: 1. Washing machines instead of manual washing. Great. 2. "Smart" washing machines that show ads, install updates, require online accounts and subscriptions etc

Maybe people should go to music shows to listen to music. If they prefer a side in a war or a politician in elections, they could (freely) express such opinions separately. Mixing up concerts with geopolitics doesn't help either.

Just seen a complaint that Blue Sky doesn't contain nearly enough silliness, so, y'know...

Royal Navy monitor HMS Marshal Ney. It's basically a hull, a spotting tower, and a honking great pair of 15" guns perched atop a tall cylindrical turret, the type of which usually has fair maiden lowering her hair for a fairytale suitor, or at least a lad with a fetish for blondes who keep tripping over their ponytail. It's a deeply silly ship.
