Quite Good, Thank You

A twitter refugee - and the handle means "Quite good thank you"
Actually it doesn't. I was looking for a short handle and that was the only 4 letter one I could find.
Tend to post random quips, as reality is just too bleak

Hey, so, I've been fired. Now that I'm unemployed like the other half of Bluesky, if anyone knows of work for a writer, reporter, or nonprofit grants manager, I'd be much obliged. You all know where to find me.

Saw the RNLI in full action this weekend doing a coastguard search that sadly resulted in a tragedy for a family and their 13yr old kid.
Please chuck them a fiver, or whatever you can afford. They do an immense job.

This is a classic of AI: transfer the routine part to a computer, make the human watch for errors and hold them liable. Like the self-driving car which transfers control to a human miliseconds before a crash

Five years ago today it seemed that the golden age of naval idiocy had disappeared forever.
That was before the Venezuelan patrol vessel Naiguatá managed to recapture some of this spirit by fighting - at least at that point - the dumbest action of the 21st century.

What is it with the outbreak of Blobby disease?
It was originally crap and hasn't improved. The only reason it hasn't got worse is that isn't possible.
Please, make it stop.

In 1959 police were called to a segregated library in South Carolina when a young Ronald McNair refused to leave without his science book.
He was just 9 years old.
(Obvs this image was taken a few years later!)

Percentage change should *always* be expressed on a log scale, because it’s multiplicative.
A doubling and a halving should be given equal space.
