Whoever coined "violets are blue" was a sociopath

"My lord, shall we remove that spare port key so there is no chance the Potter boy can escape?"

"No, Wormtail. The boy needs an exit route for book 5."

"Why don't we just use veritaserum in these death eater trials?"

Sad news - Mars helicopter Ingenuity suffered some rotor damage during flight 72 on Jan 18 and its mission has now ended.

It's fun watching engineers apply our document review processes to all pages on our intranet...

In engineering πŸ–₯️
Engineer A: "there's a typo in this spec"
Engineer B: "oh bum - thanks, I'll fix it"

In inappropriate places ✨
Engineer C: "there's a typo in this HR document"
D from HR: "How. Dare. You."
