  1. 🚨 Oh, the humanity! The quest for a self-setting clock spirals into an epic saga worthy of #Shakespearean tragedy—except with more wires and fewer interesting characters. Spoiler: the only thing that escalates is the author's penchant for #melodrama. 🕰️🤦‍♂️

    Titanic: The Stacked Deck


    The Stacked Deck
    by Stewart Stafford

    I am the last man alive on the Titanic.
    Do they commemorate rote chivalry?
    Did they notice in the lifeboats
    as I was savaged by the ravenous sea?

    Into choking darkness, I fell tumbling,
    The ship’s name eaten up in black,
    Freezing water smothered my lungs;
    Even if found, there’s no way back.

    Women and children first, they said!
    Our end certain as the sinking prow,
    Would mothers now nobly step aside
    to grant my final resting place somehow?

    Classless wine, champagne bottles bobbed;
    Numb fingers clasped at Old World pleasantries.
    From the mass grave: “Tomb it may concern…”
    The guilty waves murmur my eulogies.

  7. "I have to have something to sell tickets. The stuff you sent the other day isn’t it."

    Fedi, I'm petty. And hurt. And pissed off. Now, as the saying goes: in matters of taste, the customer is always right. HOWEVER.

    I love these promos. What do you think, fedi friends? Are you coming to my murder mystery?

  9. Sadly today’s gag on #Etymology just didn’t work out. #Patootie has no latin roots to speak of . Barren , bereft even , in some #Shakespearean sense, of even modest pedigree. If ur not talking about someone’s arse potatoes is all that’s left. On the other hand…lotsa #Irish in there…

  11. The #Insurrectionists are invoking the #InsurrectionAct The #irony is #Shakespearean This much military machinery and manpower isn't moving there to #Washington for a short stay! The farthest thing from it Trump left less than 7000 troops in #Afghanistan for the withdrawal he saddled #Biden with

  13. I have ported the #Shakespearean performance #Ansible playbook for Macs to #Linux.

    It now depends on the community.general Ansible module.

  17. It feels a bit like what's going on over there on the #birdsite is some old, old story - like a #Shakespearean or ancient #Greek #tragedy.

    "What is this I see before me?"

    “I am at the end. I exist no more.”

    Etc.
