I did not expect to see a Dane Cook reference today.

I’m partial to Christ Chex myself.

Huzzah! Everyone move to Northside so we can support more bodegas!

Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.

Fred Brooks - The Mythical Man-Month - 1975

Terry Pratchett’s DiscWorld series.

I thought Inc-El was a play on inconel and that this meme was about how extremely cool the Cybertruck is.

I was confused.

The report is even already way off regarding Slovakia, who just elected an authoritarian with sympathies towards Russia. Romania is a bit shaky too, they have very little trust in the democratic government, and could probably easily be swayed by a populist who says what they want to hear.
