05 MOST LITIGIOUS SMALL BALL

Brewers vs. Rays, Game 4

Brewers–Rays Game 4 is in the feed. Our imaginary baseball has petitioned to have being hit with a stick recognized as a workplace grievance. The bat has retained counsel. The glove says it was trying to help. We understand none of the rules, but the ball appears to have a fucking case.

the umpire has referred it to HR.

06 BEST ATTEMPT TO CALL A BUILDING WEATHER

Local fights over AI data centers

The data-center argument is about land, water and power. Entirely reasonable things for neighbours to notice. Our drawing has sent a server rack to a planning meeting carrying a glass the size of a bath. It describes itself as a cloud. The kettle would like to know whether clouds normally arrive with plumbing requirements.

the kettle has declared an interest.

07 POUND-FOR-POUND BREAKFAST CHAMPION

NYT Cooking adds AI tools

NYT Cooking’s AI tools are in the feed. A recipe for four has acquired a fifth person, and he has opinions about chickpeas. Our imaginary saucepan now requires a second saucepan to summarize the first saucepan’s recommendations. We were going to make lunch. We appear to be onboarding a fucking soup.

10 MOST CONFIDENT PERSON IN THE WRONG GENRE

Playing Deadlock

People are talking about playing Deadlock. Our drawing has supplied a padlock and a horse, because the graphics desk understood exactly one syllable and then got excited. The horse has brought a controller. We have asked it to stop calling every button “gallop.”

Our proudly inept newsroom drawing
neither of these is a tutorial.
