Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Schrute Farms shirt. I've stayed here before. The staff were a bit odd but the beets were unbeatable.

Is anyone else excited for The Office spinoff The Paper? The premise is that the paper industry is struggling to survive in the digital age, so the workers at Dunder Mifflin start cooking meth to stay profitable.


Just discovered you can go into your Pinterest settings and disable all the 'Show AI' for <xxx> categories...it doesn't make it 100% better, but it's a hell of an improvement!

Histoire (typique) bouffonne du jour.

Une entreprise qui donne des cours de langues en ligne paye un sondage avec deux questions "Quel est votre sentiment face aux fautes de français?" (inacceptable / pas si grave / pas d'opinion) et "Faites-vous des fautes de français, et si oui, à quelle fréquence et dans quel contexte?". Stratifié par âge, et c'est tout.

Le but c'est que les résultats soient repris largement par les médias, avec le nom du commanditaire et ça fait de la publicité pour cette boite de cours de langues. Une sorte de pub déguisée, courante. Avec comme première entourloupe un jeu sur la confusion entre langue et #orthographe, une question posée très vague (on ne sait pas trop ce que les gens mettent derrière "faute de français" et une interprétation comme "bah ... orthographe".

Le plan marche bien, plein de médias reprennent. Mais manque de pot les résultats au sondage ne sont pas terribles pour le but recherché, un peu plus de la moitié des gens répondent que "c'est pas si grave" ou "pas d'opinion", ce qui demanderait un peu d'analyse. Donc deuxième entourloupe : les journaux titrent en mettant en avant les 49% qui ont répondu "c'est inacceptable", sans vraiment focaliser sur le fait qu'ils ne sont que 49%...

Et pour couronner le tout, les articles là dessus sont vides d'info, ils disent vaguement que les vieux sont plus intolérants que les jeunes (un scoop) sans se risquer à la moindre analyse ou interprétation, se copient entre eux, à se demander s'ils ont été générés quasiment par un LLM.

Cerise sur le gâteau : celui de BFM trouve le moyen de confondre, dans le même paragraphe, les verbes "invoquer" et "évoquer", utilisés comme synonymes... Y a-t-il des gens qui "invoquent" le stress ? Pour une fois, ça aurait servi à quelque chose de distinguer ces deux verbes, au moins dans un article qui porte sur le rapport "des Français" aux fautes 😅 :il_faut_un_peu_reflechir:

On vous met des petites captures d'écran pour rire, mais pas de lien parce qu'on va pas faire non plus de la pub gratos pour ce genre de chose...

Sgrumble.

Sono arrivato alla conclusione che se voglio arrotolare lo striscione #StuzzicaMenti come si deve (senza gobbe, pance, ecc.) devo lasciare fuori gli orli, che non si curvano bene perché sono doppi.

Dopo cena, che fa più fresco, ci smadonnerò un po'.

The Grey Horse, Philips Wouwerman, c. 1646
A grey horse, whose reins are held by a boy, plays the leading role in this small panel. The horse stands out
clearly against the dramatic cloudy sky. Wouwerman’s rendering of the animal with its almost palpable coat
is very lifelike. By choosing a low vantage point, the artist strengthened the painting’s monumental effect.

Trump is probably not on his way out right this moment. But it also seems somewhat unlikely, given his clearly declining health, he makes it the full four years.

*NEW LOCATION: Chollerford and the ruins of the eastern abutment of the Roman Chesters Bridge*

Chollerford is a little village north of Hexham in Northumberland, and very close to the trail of Hadrian's Wall. In fact, it is here that the wall crossed the Tyne via a Roman bridge, Chesters Bridge.

There's some more photos, you just go here (that's easy, isn't it?) iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/8/2… 👍

New Comic Strip Found: Frank and Ernest - 2025-08-30 gocomics.com/frank-and-ernest/…

We’re filling the atmosphere with CO2 like a bathtub with water. Most of it stays for millennia.
That is why the cumulative emissions (the total amount, as pictured here) and not yearly emissions determine the amount of #globalwarming.
in reply to Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf

The warmer the atmosphere the more water vapor is in it. Water vapor also is a very powerful greenhouse gas

in reply to zombiecide

Yes I know. Climate model discount water vapor on the basis that the water vapor doesn’t last long in the atmosphere.

The reality is, however, that the air temperature itself along with water availability, determines the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

This is why climate reporting obsesses exclusively about CO2 and falls down on the systemic breakdown. Generally, the public only understands CO2 and not the consequence of higher temperatures itself.

Apologies for the lateness:

50 disco classics to get your feet moving, no.27

Earth, Wind & Fire. In the Stone

EWF are always good value but I particularly like this late addition to their playlist. In the Stone has it all, the EWF percussive rhythm, those brilliant horn stabs, the heart felt vocals & that extra something EWF always bring to the dance floor.

(My introduction to EWF was seeing them in the 70s supporting Santana in London - what a night!)

I have seen both if these band. Santana just ten time o more. EWF that was almost unnumbered by Savuca (Was that right?) from South Africa. Well they took there position back pretty soon. Tha bands name was SAVUKA

You know how the Gulf Stream (AMOC, for the climate nerd set) keeps Europe habitable?
