Quote: "I will be leaving soon with my head held high ... and I am also proud of the leadership that I have given." — what a characteristically disgraceful lack of awareness. <sigh>
Company culture: To all those who thought changing a company's culture was hard, yet again Elon proves the doubters wrong. It is indeed possible to radically change the culture and atmosphere in a company, even one with thousands of employees, in just a few short, chaotic weeks! And on that subject, if you want to receive harmful misinformation about vaccines, please join Twitter. If you're an advertiser who wishes to be associated with harmful misinformation about vaccines, please give Twitter your money. Also, Protip: if Marjorie Taylor Greene is enthusiastically agreeing with you, chances are you're saying something crazy.
Brexit: Funny how the arguments have changed from "there will be no downside", "we will all be much better off", "an extra £350m per week for the NHS" to the currently trending "I always said there would be a cost", "everyone knew there would be a price to pay", "the upsides obviously will take much longer to appear". And beautifully that a "Swiss-style" agreement (which an unknown number of people believed would be the outcome of their voting for Brexit) would be an "unacceptable BETRAYAL" of Brexit. In their frenzied eyes it's only not a 'betrayal' if it's exactly what the extremist 5% of the people voted for.
Sunlit uplands: if the current state of the British economy isn't a blissful landscape of sunlit uplands with all the untold benefits, all of the cards and "no downsides", does that mean that the claims (before the referendum) that Brexit would lead to business and trade suffering were (gasp) actually not outrageous nonsense to be ridiculed as "Project Fear"?
Zahawi: a Chancellor of the Exchequer who doesn't pay his tax bill of £3.7 million, then gets fined another £1 million for not paying it? Yeah, just perfectly normal people and perfectly normal "carelessness". Vote these people out.
Advent: of Code! :D
