Sometimes I wonder how “fund managers” with such an abysmal well-documented record of running funds into the ground, like Cathie “ark” Wood still have a job, let alone investor money to spend… and then news bits like this one remind me of the answer…

The US is really a low-grade kleptocracy at this point.

For the mere price of a Parisian bus ticket, you can too can save on your energy bills with this simple life hack…

I'm old enough to remember when Jared solved the middle-east conflict!
I have full confidence that we'll have peace in no time.

The “trade union and socialist coalition” could afford a graphic designer, whose main achievement was probably talking them out of using a 9pt font (“but we could fit so much more text!”)

Apparently the local tories are so broke, they couldn’t afford a graphic designer with a vague understanding of print resolution matters. I guess having pixels visible from outer space might distract from how eminently slappable your city boy posho face is…

New council election booklet just dropped!

Unfortunately only features the borough-level candidates, robbing me of the joy of reading about my local Green Party candidate Angelo Moltoitaliano*: DJ/event organiser, who’s definitely lived in the area for year(s?) and whose vast experience in party promoting surely makes him the ideal candidate to champion the concerns of the *banglatown* precinct…

For a second, I was chuffed that the UK Greens seemed to be on the fediverse… but then turns out it’s a bot reposting from X… 🙁

I mean, really?

In a sea of clueless imbeciles crowding the Eurostar security check, stopping their tray the second it comes out of the conveyor belt, holding back the whole queue while they slowly grab their items… a young lady stands out: vigorously clearing empty trays, pushing trays to the end of the belt, moving things along as if she literally worked there.

Then, replying to something her friend said: “ja, genau”…

Checks out.

Any brave students of Nihongo keen on taking the brand new version of KanjiBox for a spin (closed beta)?
