It’s weird that The Economist is so touchy about business monopolies and so relaxed about media monopolies…

My favorite thing about the Economist is the job adverts: It’s all like “we are looking for a new CEO of Boeing” and i’m like “sure, i read the Economist, why not ping my CV off”

Why is it so much easier to spot typos after you submitted? It’s like magic!

Well done on that post Hannah, haha :)

I really dislike loyalty cards. I don’t like the idea that my loyalty can be bought with a sporadical free coffee or whatever…

Just make the coffee cheaper in the first place you bastards…

I’m thinking of sending a detailed list of my kinks to my relatives so the internet scammers will have no leverage over me…

Auntie Julie just wanted a Christmas card this year…

Unfortunately that’s no longer the world we live in…

I wonder what that BBC cameraman who broke protocol to save that cute baby penguin 🐧 is doing now?

Intervening all over the place no doubt… hard for lionesses to get a square meal… he keeps warning the baby antelopes…
