I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

We get around it by calling it ‘art’ and ‘poetry in motion’ but let’s call that free kick what it was: Pornography. Smut. Absolute filth.

Hey #motorcycle mates. Don’t snap your only ignition key in the storage box lock on your Honda NC 700S.
It results in a great sadness and an impending locksmith bill, the size of which cannot be ignored.

It is the fate of all libertarians to rail against decency, empathy, "wokeness" et al as constrictive and oppressive, posit being totally rude and edgy and whatever man as true freedom, helping pave the way for someone to take away that decency; and then the libertarians go "aww no wait this sucks"

It’s been a decade since we lost the person who introduced me to my partner.
I went back and read the words I wrote at the time wondering if I would say it differently now.
“…the debt [of introducing me to Gemma] is one I can never repay. The loss of my friend is one i can never abide”.
No.

What is worse that being woken up at 0120 by a car alarm?
Being woken up at 0120 by YOUR car alarm.
(And on inspection of your car finding nothing out of the ordinary).
I have moved it, it was on a hill half on the curb. Maybe that will help?

I assume Coldplay concerts are full of software CEOs and HR execs, so it was probably only a matter of time till something like this happened. Still, it is so, so funny to react to getting caught out like this
