@quinn @ct_bergstrom I've been saying for a while he's right on the cusp of the "wearing kleenex boxes on his feet and saving his urine in mason jars" phase.

@ct_bergstrom No reason to be surprised here: it's completely consistent with changing the twitter logo to the doge icon and sending corporate communications consisting entirely of the poop emoji.

There's a tall, lean old man with a white beard who occasionally walks briskly down my street with a tall pair of walking sticks. I've decided he's a Mythago of The Long Man, and any such sighting is a good omen. If I'm ever lost, I feel confident that he will emerge from the woods to lead me home.

@aka_quant_noir @kims I think that's in the If You Are Bitten By A Rabid Animal pamphlet: "If by good luck you're within a 24-hour drive of Canada, scurry across and claim you were bitten there."

@Popehat Don't miss the Simon & Simon Museum. Be sure to take the "Are You A Rick or an A.J.?" Challenge.

@DougWar40k I dunno, do they have a streaming channel?

@LauraKT But it's Britshit! Shit of the blessed isle, from God's favoured rectums!

I just unfollowed someone because I noticed they didn't follow anyone. You can't be all mouth and no ears.

@almostconverge I forget who said it first: "economists must learn to subtract". A thing which generates economic activity isn't necessarily a thing which produces prosperity. Rather the reverse in many cases.

@almostconverge And Norway's a fuck of a lot better in the mean than either of them in terms of actual wealth distribution. In Norway to be average is to pretty comfortably off, which isn't true in Ireland nor remotely true in the UK.

@almostconverge Per capita it's half that of Norway and rather less than that of Ireland

Somehow, Britain is still the world's 6th largest economy per GDP.

And yet its poor are among the poorest in Europe. We really need a different way to represent economic rankings. Having a handful of the billlionairest billionaires doesn't make your country a good place to live.

@ct_bergstrom I'd pay big money for someone to actually slip a pubic hair onto his coke

okay, no points lost if you don't actually get that, we're going back a ways there

@morgfair In other news, U.S. Declares Kim Jong Un 'Kind Of Pathetic'. Everything promptly gets all better.

@misc @RollingStone @MattFerrel

Oh, am I meant to "get" that he's so confident of his retort that he scurried to keep me from seeing it or replying?

I'm sorry that my lighthearted and slightly self-deprecating comment hurt you and him in your feels.

No I'm not.

If a series whose plot was precisely that of Brexit had aired on BBC instead of the actual thing happening, the critics would have shredded it. Most particularly the Telegraph's, on the grounds of slandering the Conservatives with an unearned depiction of cowardice, venality and incompetence.

@Popehat The impromptu performances of "In The Navy" that tend to pop up almost at random are a peculiar part of its charm.

@sarahm @nytimes @washingtonpost

It might be useful if those newspapers gave the additional information of how many times Mitch, for example, said merely that he was praying for the victims of mass shootings in each of 2023, 2022, 2021...
