This is amazing. DHS bought a warehouse in a city called Social Circle, Georgia. When the city council asked DHS how they planned to use the warehouse, DHS refused to answer.

So, the city cut off water and sewer services and put a lock on the water meter, and said that services will remain off “until ICE indicates how water and sewer to the facility will be served without exceeding the limited infrastructure capacity.”

Outstanding. We need more of this! This is how we stop fascism.

St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, the evidence for this being that there are no snakes in Ireland that are not owned by zoos or goths.

In the same way, St Patrick must have driven the moles out of Ireland, because there are no moles. Maybe he was a golfer and they ruined the greens.

Anyway, hardware chain B&Q apparently did not know this and stocked sonic mole repellers in Northern Irish stores for years, where they never sold.

BBC NEWS | UK | Northern Ireland | Blindingly obvious... mole repellers useless

DIY retailer B&Q is recalling sonic mole repellers from its Northern Ireland stores - because the mammals do not exist in Ireland.

Arrogant man accused us of taking two of the eight sunbeds he had towels on. He kept going away and coming back to argue. After a few hours I gave ours up to a group of lads and told them the others next to us weren't getting used either. Never stayed to see the chaos unfold.
Our inner city school visited a farm. During the bit where we had to wander around and put answers in a worksheet a pig poked his snout at my pocket. I gave in and let him eat my sausage sandwich. I still feel guilty at being an accessory to cannibalism.

Absolute peak late stage capitalism.

The difference between my English and Chinese copies of The Art of War never stops being funny.

judging online information quality based on site where it appeared: a comprehensive guide

- "How To (...)" in the title, cookie banners, lots of side-information written in a way that wastes your time: SEO slop, don't bother. You might as well make a wild guess, same likelyhood it'll be correct

- official docs for $x, autogenerated by a rube-goldberg machine and automagically pushed into whatever-pages by a fully-skidoodled, post-quantum CI pipeline: describes everything, except the exact fact you're looking for.

- no HTTPS, tilde in the name, DNS with 4+ dots, likely hosted on some dusty uni server, white background with absolutely no CSS: one of the best resources on the subject. you question how it's even still online

- site titled "Garry's blog", default wordpress favicon, last update either previous month or 12 years ago: golden. crystal-clear exposition, good examples and screenshots framed so well you don't even need arrows pointing places. likely used as a cheat-sheet daily by everyone in the community
a game called "murder simulator" and is about crows loitering
