Brexit - a terrible warning rather than an example to follow. But England and Wales went though with it, dragging Scotland and NI with them.
“Brexit changed the EU in one fundamental way,” Michael Roth, Germany’s former Europe minister, told the Guardian. “Leaving the club is no longer seen as a solution. It’s seen as a warning.
Massage guns don't come with warnings not to use them on the eyes, so of course some people do.

Using a massage gun on or around the eyes risks major tearing and bruising to the retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye—doctors warn in the online journal BMJ Case Reports after treating a young man who had used one of these devices.
Negative IQ is not a meme anymore:
Imagine being a lesbian soccer player who could flee Venezuela to make your dreams come true and live with no daily power cuts, no censorship, etcetera.
Imagine being the captain of a soccer team abroad, being legally married to a woman you love, being able to afford rent, food, and even tourism.
And then, deciding to save money and come back to Venezuela, open a gym, and live closer to relatives, leaving behind your soccer team, stability, and also the legal validity of your marriage.
That's exactly what a friend just did.
Either she's having the hardest time ever abroad (which wouldn't match any of her updates to us); or she's insanely stupid.
Negative IQ in a nutshell.

Nice one, Perth & Kinross Council - writing me a letter about a change to collections of the brown wheelie-bin I don't use, which they *know* I don't use because I refuse[0] to throw an extra £20+/yr at them on top of the exorbitant council-tax when I have adequate composting ability myself. Way to waste a stamp and an envelope and a CO2 footprint.
Whatever happened to joined-up thinking?!

The world screams and clutches pearls over cybersecurity.
Speech therapists and teachers scream that #retrolanguage is unspooling the human linguistic encoder and it's observable. That no, it's not *just* cognitive offloading (which is also bad), it's a loss of inherent competency.
No one does a thing about #retrolanguage literally eating the future.
#Stupidity insists lack of economic loss constitutes safety and refuses to investigate.
Creating your own crisis at this point. #callingit 🖖
I wonder what'll come first: AGI or the Iran Deal. Both are surely just around the corner.
Stupidity combined with arrogance and a huge ego will get you a long way.

AUKUS exposed once more as very expensive political theatre.
Our government could choose to fund NDIS with those billions. Include dental in Medicare. Build affordable housing. Fund education. Advance renewables. Lift people out of poverty.
Instead the unlamented #scott 🤡 signed us up for this toxic brain fart in the interest of his own short term political gain (this was his MO - remember Robodebt?). And Labor fell for it.
We have been played.
It was the dumbest of times.
It was the stupidest of times.
It was the Trumpiest of times.
