It's Halloween season again and as a mathematician I'm obliged to post this. I don't make the rules

@OnlyCFO Not a receipt, it is an image. Any half way competent expenses system would require the original receipts as evidence.

@0xQuasark "Put phones away" is not 1967 advice.

@RegaResearch '73/'74 Heard about an LP of the Otis Redding and JImi Hendrix performances at Monterey. Found (somehow!) a US record shop which would sell/send it to me and what the cost would be, sent them a postal order(!!), weeks later it arrived, in perfect condition. Still have it.

@SamaHoole Lived down the road from a bottling plant/delivery depot as a kid in the 60s. Woken up every morning by that whining sound and clinking bottles.

@COVID19_disease Over a year old and nothing since...

@quarecuttie @1goodtern @_CatintheHat My local Boots had them at 50% off recently, those expired shortly, possibly this month.

They’ll demand a 14-year-old carry her rapist’s baby, but call a 25-year-old man “too young” to face consequences. That’s not morality. That’s misogyny with a halo.

@27Tawnyowl God yes, 1960s Manchester. Looks closer. Bog roll is just sign of the times but a rug? A f*cking rug? That's posh!

[eduqate2 @eduqate2]

@omgsidewalks Good god, no. It was much worse, thick leather strap (tawse) at my school, one teacher used to throw the blackboard rubber at those who displeased him.

@her_finland Reheating a mug of tea twice is OK though?

[eduqate2 @eduqate2]

@1goodtern It feels justified to begin with, feeling righteous follows.

[eduqate2 @eduqate2]

@charlesarthur Over reliance on autocarrot and spill chucker, innit?

There is something almost classical about watching America's decline through Trump.

The Greeks had a word for it: hubris.

Followed, always and without exception, by nemesis.

The country that told the world it was the "indispensable nation."

The country that maintained 800 military bases in 80 countries.

The country that redesigned the global financial system in its own image at Bretton Woods and then spent eight decades using access to that system as a weapon against anyone who disobeyed.

The country that called this "freedom."

Now watching its own cities rot. Its own bridges collapse. Its own citizens die of preventable diseases because the money that should have built hospitals and schools and water treatment infrastructure was spent maintaining the architecture of global domination that was supposed to make America great.

The empire ate the republic.

It ate it from the inside, slowly, over decades, diverting every resource toward the maintenance of power abroad while the foundations at home quietly failed.

And now the republic is screaming at the wreckage and calling the scream a plan.

Hubris. Nemesis. It arrives on schedule.

It always does.

Man kann New Yorkern wirklich alles teuer verkaufen, solange sie es in weißen Kartons verpackt mitnehmen können - in dem Fall eine Box mit sechs halben (!) Brotscheiben für knapp $60, davon $10 das mit Nutella.

@martinrw Goldsmith used to be *massive*, oddly he forgets he had been instrumental in making Live Aid a reality.

[eduqate2 @eduqate2]

@Johnnypapa64 Some fallen stars here. Mike Reid, Leslie Crowther and the Winters brothers had been on TV not that long ago.

[eduqate2 @eduqate2]

@1goodtern Explain it to me like I'm 5. Why would they attempt to minimise an ongoing public health problem?

Aren't the NHS supposed to about prevention and cure of disease? Who/what are they pandering to?

[eduqate2 @eduqate2]

@I_amMukhtar By their standards...
