John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.

There's a hospital in France where a horse visits the patients. In the hospital. There was a thing in The Guardian about it a few years back.

How does the horse choose the patients?

Well, the horse is a cardiologist, so the patient list is pretty apparent.

The fact that there are 45,000 ‘trailblazers’ here couldn’t devalue the title any more.

Trailblazing, more like scorched earth policy.

I'm afraid for that, as I fear you would see a lot of laughing people. The emperor knows he is naked, but he still is emperor and he sees the people pretend he has clothes. The people of the court also know the emperor is naked, but he is the emperor and they will go along with his wishes. What are they going to do? Quit?

“You’re a VP of customer success?” he asked another attendee. “Congratulations on your position that did not exist five years ago!”

Okay what the fuck is a "VP of customer success" though, that's a title so made up money laundering has to be involved, no?

It's like how "marketing" became "UX research/design"

Marketing has not become UX research/design, you can't possibly know what UX design is and say that.
