They just … added $7 million a year out of thin air?

(Not that the original figures were plausible.)
A slide adding up the supposed number of attendees (393,000) times $46.69 spending per attendee (made up from whole cloth; assumes that money wouldn’t be spent on other things, etc., etc.) to get $18.4MM per year in annual spending which somehow averages out over 30 years to $25MM per year.

Colorful Friday.

OK I’ve been seeing this lately and I assume it’s a Bluesky bug, but maybe it’s a gag I’m not in on?

Or have I recently learned German so completely that my brain is processing these German posts as English? (And is @mollyknight.bsky.social suddenly posting in German for unknown reasons?)

The concept is pretty dumb but worth clicking through to see what they expect us to wear.
A gay wool knight, who seems like he might want to put pants on before heading off to battle. (He is wearing a wool sweater with a wool - helmet? - and carrying a shield and a mace, with a sword on his back. He has black boots reaching the middle of his calves. And, as noted, no pants.

Pearls Before Swine usually delivers a banger at least once a week. This isn’t necessarily my favorite but it was handy.
Pig and Goat from “Pearls Before Swine” are talking. Pig says he’s putting together a women’s conference about obtaining good information in the age of the internet. “At the end of it we’re going to crown the one woman who has done the most to further our goals.” Goat: “Crown her what?” Pig: “Miss Information 2024.” Goat: “Maybe pick a different title.” Pig: “Is ‘Miss Informed’ better?”

Maybe Jackson Lamb is on the train?
Gary Oldman as the notoriously farting Jackson Lamb from “Slow Horses.” He wears a rumpled trenchcoat over a rumpled shirt with a loosely knotted tie, hair askew, looking disappointed.

Fuck that, I want a Sherman.
They want leaders more inclined to fight on every front than retreat in the face of pressure. They want Grants, not McClellans.

This seems … incomplete.
Portion of article: “It is unclear whether Mr. Epstein actually possessed such photos. Mr. Thomas, who has not worked at The Times since 2019, said Mr. Epstein never provided them.”
