[Image description: Official Discworld artwork by Paul Kidby. It depicts Sam Vimes, with a grumpy expression and smoking a cigar, holding up a small dragon and pointing it directly at the viewer as though about to fire it as a weapon. A text post has been pasted on top that says, "i understand all that shit about honor and knighthood and solemn vows but 'kingslayer' is simply a bad insult. it sounds cool as fuck. might as well call him the landlord annihilator or the billionaire's bane." /end description]

Oh look it's distantly time for one of my favourite poems, Hymn of Breaking Strain (by Kipling, published 1935). Verses 1-3 are the most directly relevant for "industrial engineering and human failure factors" but I have included the rest of the poem for completeness. I like to read it through a mental health lens.

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

Someday people on the internet will learn that two things that appear to be mutually exclusive can actually in fact both be true.

Does anyone know who the cartoonist is? I wish to give them proper credit and a bouquet of lols and also find out what else they have drawn.

not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!
