Working with the weather. The old adage 'no bad weather just bad clothing (or fur coat in the dug's case' held true on the morning run over Ruberslaw.#running #ScottishBorders #Collie #DogsofMastodon

Researchers from Cornell University have developed what they call "the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale," a tool designed to measure how impressed people are by business school-style jargon that sounds strategic but says very little.The findings, described in a recent study, suggest that employees who rate this sort of language as insightful are more likely to struggle with analytical thinking and workplace decision-making.https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/15/corporate_jargon_research/#Bullshit #IntelligenceTest

CaturdayOur older Testudinidae has woken and is inside for the moment. Mu is interrogating him, curious to know how you manage a *really* good sleep. He also wonders whether she is intending to get off his bed.#caturday #tortoise #CatsOfMastodon

Letting sleeping dugs lie. Over in Cumbria visiting the OAPs for the weekly ‘do a job’ we have just comeback from our morning run. The kitchen is not large, but… And the collie insists on getting into the middle. The old ‘ever hot’ stove has been off for months! I get an appalled ‘wot me look’ if I ask him to move, so better leave him until parents get up. If he moves the old terrier will just get in his place.Amendment hashtag#cumbria #BorderCollie #LetSleepingDogsLie #DogsOfMastodon

Voting in the UK. Rumour has it that Labour are keen to introduce compulsory voting, with an option of ‘none of the above’ and a £10 fine for non compliance. I know that Australia uses a similar system. What do UK voters think of it (please boost for coverage)#Voting #Democracy #WouldBeNice #UKPol

This has to be one of the funniest consequences of Trump’s attempts to bully Canada. Those mid terms are looking promising (provided you can afford to wipe your bum).https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/26/paper-product-toilet-paper-tariffs-us-canada#Trump #USA #Canada #Tariffs #Consequences #ToiletPaper
