Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads 

They Oz you up, your mandyias.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They give you vast and trunkless legs
A sunken shattered visage too.
But they were Ozzed up in their turn
By Mandyias upon the sand
Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command.
Oz hands on mandyias to man.
Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can
Ye mighty and despair yourself

But they've got two faintly similar sounds in and they mean the same thing. If they aren't related then don't tell me /sahgk/ and /thinko/ are the same when they sound nothing like

Comment on the total outage at AWS: Learned nothing in the last 30 years After the recent AWS outage, multi-cloud is supposedly the answer. But that's misleading – US dependency is the core problem, argues Martin Loschwitz.

“Any politician who seriously doubts that the current US government could use AWS, Azure, and Google as a political lever is deceiving themselves and the public. … If Europe doesn't finally get moving, the AWS outage was just a mild breeze compared to what the old world can predictably expect.”

True. But Rashford's journey is particularly satisfying. "Lad, you're just not United level." "Fair enough boss, I suppose I'll just accept that I'll eke out my career banging them in for Barcelona like a massive loser."

This Rashford lad. Has anyone thought of scouting him for the prem? I think he's got a chance for the England squad even

Hot take from a position of almost Cartesian ignorance: if Lecornu gets away with this operatic display of weakness he's suddenly a front runner for president

He looks like Bernard Hu, the former leader of the French communists. "Bernard who?" "Yes that's right."
