Autumn in Japan

As autumn is coming to an end, winter is just around the corner.

I absolutely love autumn, and I look forward to this season every year.

If you're a Slow Horses fan you'll almost certainly enjoy Dept Q (Netflix).

Based on a Danish crime book series but set in Scotland, it's worth the price of admission just to hear Kelly McDonald's beautiful Scottish lilt.

I'd agree with the loveless, but not necessarily the sexless.

The difficulty of firing staff—a reality of corporate life—steers Europe’s biggest firms away from making risky bets in innovative fields. This is catastrophic for the continent’s economy

How Europe crushes innovation

Labour rules devised in the 20th century are hobbling Europe in the 21st

Europe should be more like the US, where corporate innovation has delivered a socio-economic utopia for its workers and citizenry.

Being old and acting like younger generations are dumb in a way that’s meaningfully different to the way you were dumb at that age is cringe af.

People just forget what it’s like to be an age.

hate it when old people are weird about new memes kids are using like it actually isn’t really that hard to look up whatever stupid thing the meme came from it’s not some inscrutable inunderstandable thing you had some stupid meme shit you probably repeated in however long ago it’s not a big deal

My 19yo has a boyfriend who says and does the same stupid, clueless shit I said and did at 19.

I always wondered why older, wiser blokes chuckled and sighed so often in my presence, and now I get it 😂

"I'm a manager at a retail outlet and one of my workers, whose name is Kat, keeps making 'miaowing' noises when I talk to her. I think she wants to shag me but I'm going to fire her because I'm just not that into furries."

Lejuan @lejuan.bsky.social · 7d

nah it's not 'pretty clear' at all. Far from being disingenuous, it's an entirely reasonable inference to make, especially in the context of a very young, attractive woman who 'doesn't need a hairstylist' and has no 'regrettable posts'.

That's quite the straw you've clutched there.

Uganda sees the return of the rhino.

Uganda once held around 700 rhinos before poaching and turmoil drove them extinct by the early 1980s. At Ziwa sanctuary, a handful of rhinos reintroduced in the early 00s have now multiplied into a herd of 48.
