Manager: "What's this milestone 'Living on a prayer' ?" Me: "That's the documentation deliverable." Manager: "What's the status of that?" Me: "We're halfway there" Manager: "Why is progress so slow?" Me: "You fired Tommy" Manager: "So?" Me: "Tommy used to work on the docs"

I hope the Heritage Minister is asking some VERY pointed questions after the Cross Country Checkup debacle. It has seriously damaged the credibility of the CBC. Editorial heads should roll.

Tomorrow I want to write 2000 words. At which point I hope the chapter will be close to finished. Hopefully. And then I can write the related side story that I really want to write. It's about yahoo chat rooms. And what happens if you get magical instruction from strangers on the Internet

So, whatever you do don't share or repost or anything like that this meme. Gosh knows we sure wouldn't want the price of Tesla stock to plunge or anything like that.

We have a mate who is not physically capable of doing the job. I've decided if he comes back this year I'm going to file a hazard report over it. I like the guy, he's a nice older dude. But he can't do the job, and especially with it lout new procedures you can't have a mate who just counts

Sometimes the objects that we study in the human past are beautiful to everyone. Often, scientists must work to help others become aware of the beauty that they hold. Seeing these things in new ways is central to the process of scientific discovery. #sciart johnhawks.net/weblog/seein...

So very tired. And tomorrow I have to get up early to get the boys to school. But at least I'll have the house to myself after that

Our team have been checking on the #kakapo on Pukahereka/Coal Island, in south-west Fiordland, New Zealand. This is the newest kākāpō island, established last year and currently containing 13 males. Here's Kenneth, by ranger Maddy Whittaker. #conservation #parrots #birds

So this is definitely pre-1971. I think it's probably 1940s or 1950s, but I need to take some time to see what I can find about it context wise.

My captain just gave me this. No publication date in it but it's pretty decimalization and looks to be the same type used by Admiralty books c. 1930s-1950s. I'm absolutely looking forward to having a look at this. Planning to scan it and ocr it and put it up on @globalmarhist.bsky.social

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Nate Silver has to believe that Nate Silver and people like Nate Silver are geniuses who deserve everything they got because otherwise he’s just one of a couple hundred guys who did some interesting stuff with baseball statistics and then claimed he was a data genius so could cover all fields.

I take the bold stance that misogyny is extremely bad even when it’s applied to white cis straight women with federal jobs who kinda remind you of your mom.
