I was going to make an Aether Foundation drawing, but my sketches for Lusamine sucked so bad that I just aborted everything. So here is just Wicke instead.

See! When people say “why doesn’t Batman use his billions to fight crime?” they don’t realize he’s still the most responsible and genuinely heroic non-duck billionaire in history
Why is it billionaires waste all their time and effort on fascist bullshit when they could genuinely afford to be Batman? Fuckwits.

Why there should be a zero-tolerance approach for breaking F1's technical rules
On the face of it, the suggestion seems highly plausible. The McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were excluded from the results of the Las Vegas Grand Prix because the wear on some of their underfloor skid plates was fractionally beyond the permitted tolerance. Team boss Andrea Stella's contention is that in this case, the punishment didn't fit the crime. "Unlike sporting or financial

I guess I could imagine doing a victory lap if UK growth was super high, the budget was balanced, essential services were fully staffed, innovation was booming and the country felt energized and dynamic - all somehow with low net migration.
But none of that is true.

UK has a bunch of problems.
Migration is a politically unpopular way to address many of them.
The UK government wants everyone to throw them a nice little flag shaggy parade for choosing not to use it - while doing nothing else to fix the problems.

Setting aside the merits of migration, getting it down isn't some massive achievement when the officials who issue visas work for you.
You can just order them to issue fewer visas.
It's a tap you control, why are you bragging about turning it?
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

The sheer number of ads touting AI tells you how fucked and over-leveraged these companies are. You don't spend this much on marketing a thing you called "inevitable" unless you are seriously underwater and it ain't inevitable

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.
Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.
