He did the meme!

It's just common courtesy to your former colleagues, who probably ARE actually going to try and do a good job until they find a better place... I also left companies with shit management while praising the operative people I worked with, isn't it a pretty common experience?

But what else should they say? If the paper goes down even faster, their remaining colleagues get fired sooner and have fewer options.

There's that meme doing the rounds among military types about the IJN "Crimson flower of the Emperor" battleship being sunk by nine US destroyers of the "We built this last week" class.

The modern USN doesn't resemble its WWII meme counterpart much.

Also, let's spend vast amounts of money and energy to put a very quickly depreciating asset, like bleeding edge GPUs are, in a place very hard to access for repairs or upgrade.

That's about the size of a premium Bonelli or Disney comic, so as an Italian I certainly approve ;)

Could be both: remember how at some point Twitter's AI could NOT shut up about "white genocide in South Africa"? It went completely schizo, it was hilarious.

I'm not's saying that's it, but we have already seen attempts at targeted censoring that turned into broad spectrum bugs

Who reads the papers? - Yes, Prime Minister - BBC comedy

This sketch is now outdated for good, I don't think he reads the Morning Star...

He's like those young entrepreneurs who think "Steve Jobs was extremely successful while being an abrasive asshole: so I shall be an asshole too".

He thinks that being an overconfident asshole like Trump is required to win.

That happened TEN years ago, and yet he's still there.
That's the point!

"Esterno notte", about the Moro kidnapping and red terrorism in the '70s, is also great (and also a six-episode mini series)

The Italian recipe for that is simpler: it's mostly Vittorio Gassman ;)

Not the first time I hear this - my question is, cartel guys aren't suicide bombers. Why would they do the only thing that they wouldn't survive?

Instead car bombs in US territory, ambushes, these days drone attacks... all these I can clearly see happening.

The spacecraft set is clearly made of pieces of the "Forbidden Planet" sets :)

Trump himself got shot and after barely a month, nobody mentioned it anymore.
