Just saw someone use "a broken clock is right twice a day" to justify listening to someone that is full of bad takes.
When did idioms become the opposite of what they mean?

Not gonna lie, I've been coping by comparing this administration's actual failings in reality to fictional depictions, like Lindsey Halligan as government-by-Hudsucker-Proxy and today's DoorDash economic report is just pure government-by-Idiocracy.

Ohio House Education Committee holds first hearing for bill to allow chaplains in public schools

Look, I'm just a guy who spent years of my life doing pro audio and corporate AV, I've spent more days of my life than I care to count camped out in hotel ballrooms, and I can honestly say this:

Speaking of Apple software quality, I have on old mac on 13.6.6 and tried to open software update, but accidentally clicked on an iCloud thing, this pops up, won't close, can't quite, can't exit, it's just completely frozen.
