  1. I have just signed a contract in a Notariat. Whilst unscrewing my fountain pen, I was told I had to use the pen provided. It, apparently, has a DIN specification number for the ink used, and only this ink is approved for the signing of official documents. The fact of use must also be confirmed in writing.

  3. 🤔 Ah yes, the "European Social Stack," where Europeans dream of overthrowing Big Tech with open declarations and #kumbaya hand-holding. Because nothing says "revolution" like a bunch of bureaucrats drafting manifestos. 😂 Apparently, a "diverse and resilient information infrastructure" is just around the corner... if only they could stop tripping over their own red tape. 🏗️📜

  7. Ah, the Department of Homeland Security—a bastion of efficiency and customer service—has decided to "almost" stop granting green cards. 🚫📜 So basically, they're doing what they've always done but with a new coat of red tape. 🎨🔴 Welcome to the bureaucratic Twilight Zone, where nothing changes except the excuses! 🙄✨

  9. The #Yukon #Government is asking citizens to submit red tape issues. Good! There is an online form, but it is not easy to find:

    forms2.service.yukon.ca/ca/en/

    They ask you to "upload any documentation to support your feedback", but then they restrict that to ".png, .jpeg, .doc, .docx or .pdf" - and only a single file, max 10 MByte.

    Can't make that up.

  11. ⬆️ @ngate

    >> 🚀 the future is here, and it's all about building #SaaS on #EU #infrastructure without #AWS—because nothing screams #innovation like reinventing the wheel with EU-approved #redTape. 🇪🇺 The guide triumphantly answers the age-old question: can bureaucracy power your next big tech venture? Spoiler alert, it’s 100% EU, 0% sense.🙄

    If humans did not constantly reinvent "the" wheel, we'd still be rolling everything on logs. Can you imagine landing an airplane on logs, much less taking off?

  12. 🚦 Ah, the ol' "more cooks in the kitchen" conundrum, except now it's "more layers of review" — because everyone knows #bureaucracy is the true sport of #champions. 🏆 Apparently, assembling a human pyramid of red tape doesn't speed things up? Who knew! At least now we have an equation to validate our #procrastination. 📈

  14. In the next pod, I'll discuss #DoctorWho: #Battlefield. I'll also enjoy complaining about #BT, #Uber, #Lime #eScooters, #Ikea, #British #redtape, and anything else I can literally shake either one of my poorly sized #walkingsticks at.

  16. A quotation from Eugene McCarthy

    The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.

    Eugene McCarthy (1916-2005) American politician, poet, activist
    Quoted (1979-02-12), “People: On the Record” section, Time Magazine
