Incredible post.

Yes, but the alternative would be to actually address policy, and that sounds like work.
Short answer: It doesn't.
Long answer, a cabinet reshuffle is a symbolic gesture that does nothing other than acknowledge that the PM knows his party is unpopular. Everyone knows this, but it's traditional to do anyway. It's not an attempt to regain popularity, just a "thing to do" to look busy.
Conkers has gone too far.
Booster separation confirmed

Looks like it's #portfolioday and I never remember when that is.
I draw stuff.

It's called snickers now.
Sticking your fingers in your ears and going "la la la, I can't hear you" is a pretty powerful debate tactic when you have 100% of the decision making power, it turns out.
Like... the programmers are saying "hey, this isn't actually making us any more efficient, and it's introducing a whole bunch of problems that we have to fix later, so in some areas it's slowing us down and making the product worse." but their managers have bought the hype, so just aren't listening.
I have a few friends working at companies that are using Claude for code, and pushing hard for their developers to use it, and one friend who's company went all in on the full whatever-the-most-expensive-tier is this week. They told me that the "justification" was that management believe it's magic.
I will put a sentient animated plushie-bumpo in my game when I run it, and have it be the familiar of a battle princess.

A photograph of a wooden marker organizer. It is a little under half full.
Got the smallest "marker organizer" I could find, so now I can keep them around my desk - but they still look kinda lonely.
And like, I get that sometimes you make a good-faith effort to deliver something, it falls through, and you can't finish up - But when you present your thing as a finished project that's just taking pre-orders or whatever, then ghost a few thousand people... that's just running a con.
Six months later, the guy is back on the platform with a very similar project asking for money, that got promoted on the front page, and funded. Same result, just vanished the day the funding period ended. 2 years later he runs the same project again under a new username, gets funded again.
Kickstarter actively went out of their way to prevent backers from requesting getting refunds or contacting the creator via any method other than leaving a project comment - they wanted to protect their share of the cut. They told me in email that creators have no obligations to fulfil anything.
I was really into kickstarter in its earlier days, backed a whole bunch of cool stuff - it was fun. One day however I backed a project where the creator pretty transparently just took the money and ran. Complete radio silence the day the project funded. Thousands of comments asking for updates.

I tried to implement these tips, and a lot of them are really good... but I'm struggling with reprogramming the buttons on my tools. The only thing the button on my pencil seems to do is extend the pencil lead.
Clearly this is another reason to follow my art.

An image drawn in an isometric perspective, where the shape of the room is drawn in black lines on the ground. A straight red line has been overlayed showing that the shape of the room is inaccurately represented.
Oh, I'll draw this in isometric perspective, but rather than just use a ruler like a sane person, I'll just eyeball where the corners of the room are.
A photograph of a couple of shelves from a pharmacy stocking sticking plasters and bandages. Every single item is branded "MEDICARE"
My local pharmacy (here in the UK) has this one brand they use for all their generic medicines and plasters, and various other accessories (pill storage boxes, massagers etc etc.) it always makes me giggle.
Gullstruck Island, by Frances Hardinge.
Frances writes the most wonderful fantasy worlds with completely new and fresh ideas every time, and to boot, her use of language is really poetic while being very easy to read. It's so possible to just lose yourself in her work.
