Good morning

A riff on XKCD 303. Two stick figures having a sword fight on office chairs. Inside another office a voice shouts, 'Hey! Get back to work!' Fighter one responds, 'AWS down!' referencing the amazon web services outage on 20/10/25 (in the original joke he shouts 'Compiling!'). The office voice says 'Oh. Carry on.'

Find the people who are actually doing suff about it all and listen to them instead

There's something very wrong with the big focus on speculative catastrophe present across many areas of the news. 'I think something terrible (whispers: might) happen so you should be AFRAID!!', blasted across your psyche 24/7, ruins your perspective

This write up is a solid example of what realistic optimism looks like in practice: a clear eyed look at big problems, centering those who are *doing* something about it

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

Personally '52 years an imbecile' rings true for me. I may not be 52 but the age feels arbitary

There are some Pratchett lines that stick with me becuase they're profound. And then there are ones like this that just short circuit my brain with how good n funny they are

One thing that’s funny about how we react to stuff like this is how earnest we are. Workers were as likely to think “census? I’m gonna fuck with this guy” then as now. Taking the piss was not invented in the 20th century

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

It pisses me off that

1. The majority of news outlets just can't be bothered to report wins relating to the various problems around the world these days

and

2. That info is out there and easy to find but most readers never go looking for it and descend lazily into 'We're cooked!!' for clicks
