This is a brief quotation from a Ruben Bolling cartoon, used in a critical article (well not really critical)

You can see the whole cartoon here.

This reminds me of an invitation I received from a Wellesley woman for 7 p.m. I showed up promptly (53 years ago); she came to the door in a towel, saying she was still showering.

I have fallen in love with VC Mark Fedin, a virtual fountainhead of good management advice:

“Many situations, things, or people in life do not satisfy us for long periods. For example:
    Relationships that have become a burden.
    Work that has become boring.
    The business that brings only losses.”

As for me, professionally, of seven jobs, four were voluntary dismounts of living horses, and three involved management, which shot a live horse out from underneath me. Luckily for me, I never had to dismount a dead horse professionally.

I did need to dismount personally. My first lover had to be told the horse was dead. My second told me to dismount. My third spoke with actions rather than words but the equine expiration was still obvious, even if I couldn’t see it at the time.

As the comic strip Blondie creeps up the century mark, one its superannuated creators must have a grandchild. Facebook!

Wiley proves his bonafides for the roaring 20s… 2020s that is. The delivery of the security code is a little subtle.

One is a Rasputin-like figure, a senior advisor to a war-mongering authoritarian with imperial aspirations. The other is Joseph Goebbels

This arrest is beyond comment

I don’t know whether this is the product of a moronic Large Language Model (LLM) or a pig-ignorant algorithm. Probably the latter, since LinkedIn started facilitating hookups long before LLM was a twinkle in someone’s asshole.

Still, I was amused to find a suggestion in my inbox this morning, topped by a profile photo I stopped using months ago, that I connect with myself. I do know Paul, and he is a member I know and trust, and yet I feel no need to connect with him any more than I am already connected.

Is auto-connection some weird sexual practice? Clearly the template for this automated notice was written by the same people who wrote the LinkedIn user interface.
