“The playing field is poised to become a lot more competitive, and businesses that don’t deploy cocaine to help them innovate in everything they do will be at a disadvantage,” says Paul Daugherty, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Accenture. Hey, it works!

“Now I can save tomorrow for something that I really want to do.” “What is that?” asked Frog. “Tomorrow,” said Toad, “I can just take life easy.”

When, in 1889, Miss Sparrow was asked why she was a spinster... I couldn't help but grin. I'm a spinster, a very content one.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

“Stupid” appliances.

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

“Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.”

Toad looked at the sunshine coming through the window. “Frog,” he said, “I am so glad that you came over.” “I always do,” said Frog.

“You must have been tired,” said Toad. “I was tired,” said Frog, “and it started to rain.”

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Doomerism is a 2025 fad. I only get out of bed for hoperism now.
