I love my job. I make a great salary, there’s a clear path to promotion, and a never-ending supply of cold brew in the office. And even though my job requires me to commit sociopathic acts of evil that directly contribute to making the world a measurably worse place from Monday through Friday, five days a week, from morning to night, outside work, I’m actually a really good person.
Let me give you an example. Last quarter, I led a team of engineers on an initiative to grow my company’s artificial intelligence data centers, which use millions of gallons of water per day. My work with AI is exponentially accelerating the destruction of the planet, but once a month, I go camping to reconnect with my own humanity through nature. I also bike to and from the office, which definitely offsets all the other environmental destruction I work tirelessly to enact from sunup to sundown for an exorbitant salary. Check out this social media post of me biking up a mountain. See? This is who I really am.
“Trump introduced a new idea to tackle home affordability: a 50-year mortgage loan. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte called the proposal “a complete game changer.” … but many housing experts warn the plan could backfire, raising the cost of homeownership by stretching out payments, adding more interest over time, and driving up home prices.” — CNN
Q: What is a 100-year mortgage loan?
A: We offer the flexibility of financing your new home over an entire century, theoretically lowering your payments as the loan is spread out over a longer period of time.
Q: Who is this loan for?
A: Everyone. But especially immortal wizards and vampires; people who think “100” sounds like a nice round number; and us, your lender, who will be collecting interest on this loan until you turn to dust.
Q: Does this actually save me any money?
A: It absolutely might.

It’s no surprise that the result has inspired millions of socialists around the world. Mamdani’s campaign thrived not only because of his strengths as a communicator and his mediagenic approach, but […]

The British governing class can’t create a society which feeds our children. They can’t build a high-speed railway line. Productive investment is collapsing, so our economy can’t sustain growing standards of living. Our public services are decaying. Our structures and systems are peculiarly ill-suited to addressing the country’s needs in this third decade of the […]

November 12th, 2025: And this comic is inspired by: words. Look at me, getting inspired by mere markers to concepts over here!

Across the African continent there is an increasingly rapid pace of digital transformation. Through our connections with communities across Africa, we're seeing governments, major industries, and growing business markets rapidly prioritize digital sovereignty and online engagement, and we see them seeking international expertise to launch and up-skill their local markets.
