Martin SeegerUpdated "greek task list":
orphean task: when you almost succeed, but lose everything the moment you turn around to check your progress.
daedalean task: when you’re forced to design something brilliant and functional… that you yourself will inevitably become trapped inside.
medusan task: when your project becomes so horrifying that everyone involved freezes in place rather than deal with it.
tantaline task: when success is right there, but bureaucracy or budget cuts keep snatching it away at the last moment, forever.
pandoran task: when fixing one small issue unleashes a thousand new ones, but hey — at least there’s still hope somewhere in the ticket backlog.
odyssean task: when the assignment technically has an end, but it’s buried under so many side quests that you forget what the original goal was.
narcissian task: when the entire effort is about maintaining appearances rather than achieving anything of substance.
promethean task: when you give people a powerful new tool that could transform their work — and are punished eternally for doing so.
orestian task: when the mess you’re cleaning up is the direct result of the last cleanup you performed.
thesean task: when the only way to finish is to disassemble everything piece by piece — until you’re no longer sure if what’s left is the same project you started.
achillean task: when your work is flawless except for that one fatal oversight that will, inevitably, destroy you.
penelopean task: when you diligently undo by night what you accomplish by day, just to keep the stakeholders pacified.
midasean task: when everything you touch turns into paperwork, compliance documents, or gold-plated nonsense nobody actually needs.
gordian task: not intended to be actually done, but violence is the answer.

Partij voor de DierenDoor minder dieren te fokken en te doden in ons land, los je in één klap zoveel problemen op.
De wooncrisis. De natuurcrisis. De stikstofcrisis. Maar ook schade aan onze waterkwaliteit, onze gezondheid en het klimaat. En natuurlijk: je voorkomt ontzettend veel dierenleed 💔🐷
De oplossing ligt recht voor ons. Maar de politiek blijft zorgvuldig om de roze olifant in de kamer heen draaien 🤦♀️
Today, in #PoliciesThatMakeNoSense: in #flanders gas heating is still cheaper than using a heat pump ... because taxes. No worries, it will be remedied by ... 2032. By all means, take your time.
Court of Justice of the EU🌍 It’s the #InternationalDayOfWomenJudges!
Today, we honour Fidelma O’Kelly Macken, who was appointed the first woman Judge at the Court of Justice in 1999. ⚖️
Her legacy continues to inspire new generations.
LawprofblawgI used to waste years preparing gourmet meals. It was creative, an expression of my humanity, and fostered zen.
Thanks to McDonalds, I don't have to do that!

While I was mulling how to get people to move group chats to #Matrix Meta's doing the work for me.
