They showed the MELANIA movie on a plane and everyone got up and walked out.
Just called the police, someone broke into my car.
They didn't steal anything.
They just left me tickets for the new Melania film.
That is a damned hate crime.

Ever wondered what it’s really like to be deaf?
Meet the chaos, the comedy, and the jaw-dropping ignorance I deal with daily.
Comedy at the expense of my hearing disability, because if I don’t laugh, I’ll scream (and I won’t hear that either).

I was in Costco and a pack of toilet paper fell on me.
Don't worry, it was only soft tissue damage.

Sickness absence remains within target overall due to the continued excellent health of the robotic workforce.
Human sickness absence has increased and is being monitored closely, despite humans continuing to be biological.

“Funny thing about progress, I used to fix medical equipment. Now I babysit robots that don’t drink tea, don’t say thanks, and still manage to be understaffed. Progress, apparently.
The NHS replaced 80% of us with machines… and I’m the mug left doing tech support for the future.”
