Who wants to tell the Saturday Paper what makes the turbines spin in a nuclear submarine?
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said AUKUS was "full steam ahead", borrowing a phrase of Donald Trump's. Wong was happy to repeat it: "We are full steam ahead." It doesn't matter that the submarines are nuclear-powered. The stupidity of the phrase is worthy of the policy. The boats aren't coming so who cares what's in the boiler?

Just realised these both have rolls of exposed film in them and that the images on there must be at least 15 years old.
Two different plastic Lomography cameras, each with 4 lenses. In the foreground a colourful camera with 4 lenses arranged in a square, in the background another plastic camera with 4 lenses arrange in a horizontal row.

"Would you like to know less?"
The new genai.mil logo. It's a little reminiscent of the Nasa logo where the type is all one or two connected lines, but it is more reminiscent of the next one. The shiny Federal Network logo from the film Starship Troopers.

Must be rad to be slinging pingers and have the government vouch for them. #marketing

Turn it upside down and that’s a Philips by Alessi air fryer and I would have one for my beige food addiction in a cholesterol-filled heartbeat.

Just found one of them too! Didn’t they get a firmware update to Airplay 2? I should fire it up.

Cleaning the closet and found some things that seemed funny at the time.

(These are both quotes from folks at Meredith maybe 100 years ago.

We need the HR Giger version THIS though.

Oh man I just remembered Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel. Look at the question mark of steam coming out of Mary Ann. Brutal.
A page from a children’s book showing a man and an anthropomorphised steam shovel realising they dug themselves into a hole they can’t get out of. Literally. The text is: Mike Mulligan looked around at the four square walls and four square corners, and he said, We've dug so fast and we've dug so well that we've quite forgotten to leave a way out!' Nothing like this had ever happened to Mike Mulligan and Mary Anne before, and they didn't know what to do. 37

I will watch the new Star Wars but only because it has Paul Giamatti actually chewing scenery.

Good mail day.
The cover of the 2ManyDJs LP "As Heard On Radio Soulwax pt 2". The most prominent feature of the cover is a person in a tux, paper bag on their head, flipping the "up yours" two finger salute.

Love too get curated PDFS from Hasan Minaj when tryna print a document.
The "Home" screen of Acrobate, which as well as telling me about the new tools I have access to, also bizarrely had ads for 'Curated PDF spaces', a thing I know I will hate.
