lol, reading a news story on stonks right now...
Musk says "use Signal" and people go nuts buying stock in Signal Advance, a one-man business that has nothing to do with the app.
it also mentions that when Zoom took off, people bought ZOOM stocks. while the correct ticker is ZM.
why do these idiots have money to invest on Wall Street? stupid people should give their money to me.
oh wait... *starts a business*

Great cartoon! Abandon Twitter, Amazon, Apple, Google--the whole lot of them!
Been catching up reading #astrobites.
Nearly missed this little gem about Penrose Diagrams.
Prof. Sir Roger Penrose did this seminal work in 1963, now, these diagrams are an important tool in #physics when trying to understand causality in general relativity.
Sir Roger continues to do important, interesting, and somtimes controversial work in physics, #maths, #consciousness & #computability.

@comicbot LOL, brilliant love it.
I would extend it to some programmers actually too. I have seen some horrific code on my time.

@mur2501 Sadly I think you are correct. However drivers in Singapore and Japan seem to be quite good actually.
@mur2501 Snap! Thailand is the same. No consideration whatsoever! Totally mindless, with no roadcraft and no discipline. They wouldn't think twice in running you off the road if it comes to it. You certainly need your wits about you when driving.
Motorbikes are the worst, closely followed by taxis, buses, & white Toyoto Fortuners. But the absolute pits are expensive car drivers. These morons think they own the road and can do whatever they like! Well, they have an expensive car so they can.
RANT OVER.
