Wednesday Midday Open Post

by | May 27, 2026 | Open Post | 49 comments

SugarFree is sick. Not just his normal sickness of the brain, but a physical malady which has sent him to the hospital. Everyone here at Glibs HQ wishes him well, as I’m sure do you all.

We are, as usual, short on irregular (non-serial) content so you get an open post. I’ll be back this afternoon for links, so that Brett gets a break between this morning and tomorrow afternoon.

      I’m worried about the mental wellbeing of the nurses now.

  1. Aloysious

    Thanks for filling in, Tonio.

    Feel more better, SF. Don’t let them stick anything up your butt.

    • R.J.

      If they do, please fit the story into Subaru Horror Theater.

    • Bobarian LMD

      Unless you want them to.

    • R C Dean

      If they offer to send a MAID to your room, SAY NO!

    The picture…I like it.

    • Tonio

      You can thank Old Man for that, it was thoughtful, tasteless, and therefore extremely appropriate.

    Don’t eat from the buffet during the Feast of Alvis.

      The holiest man ever to slap iron! He killed for your sins!

    In honor of Sugar Free tonights new cartoon is episode 100! I mean, it was anyway, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

  5. PieInTheSky

    get well SF and tell the nurses some of your best tales.

    I used to watch this channel 8 9 years ago but it did not end in my youtube feed in years. Did not know Boris was even still around. Can’t say I find it that entertaining like back in the day…

    It is surprising how distressing it was to read SF headed to the hospital.

    I guess I still haven’t come to terms with the loss of St Hayek.

    Take care SF.

      I know what you mean.

      When I was younger and someone I knew went to the hospital, it was concerning.

      Now, it is scary.

      Get better SF, hope you freak out the nurses.

      • Threedoor

        Ended up having to take my mom to the hospital two days ago. We’ll have my wife come into town and take her as I was on the road.

        Much ado about nothing, Likely some slight dehydration and former nurse hypochondria but it’s likely to accelerate.

    Neck deep in productivity

    “Every 30 minutes, someone creates something I have to look at,” a manager recently told us.

    As AI accelerates individual execution, a new bottleneck to progress is emerging: managers. Traditional management was designed for a world where execution took time. You could delegate a task and then comfortably check in the following week.

    But AI has collapsed that timeline. Increasingly, the pace of progress is limited by how quickly managers can offer feedback. “If I discuss a project with a direct report in a 1:1,” a manager shared in an interview we conducted for this article, “It’s already shipped and running the next day.”

    It’s in the Harvard Business Review, so you know it’ true.

      • The Other Kevin

        That’s the obvious choice. What could possibly go wrong?

      • juris imprudent

        Well, only if the AI has completed a Harvard MBA.

    • Brett L

      Oh, managers don’t like when they get put on the spot constantly for answers while they might be in the middle of some other, equally important task? Us non-managers wouldn’t know nuttin about that.

      Just get your AI to look at their AI.

    Ive got one and a half more truckish ones just about ready to go.

    I should sit down and work on those.

    Not just his normal sickness of the brain, but a physical malady which has sent him to the hospital.

    Oh no. I’m sorry to hear this. Best wishes Sugarfree. I hope you get well soon.

    • Furthest Blue pistoffnick (370HSSV)

      Get well, buddy.

    • Threedoor

      Cityscape reminds me of Baghdad.

    Here’s James Talrico wearing a cloth mask while he announces his campaign is going vegan. I don’t know how Ken Paxton is going to win this one.

    • Sean

      Talk about an own goal.

      LOL.

    • R.J.

      Cornyn was funded out the backside by deluded non-republican normies, so at the moment all the Cornyn supporters are throwing money at Talarico. This may cease once they learn a little more about the guy.
      Paxton completely walked away with this. Not even close. Also realize that a ton of people did not vote in the republican primary. I didn’t, I will wait until November. I have to work! I knew Paxton was going to win so I didn’t bother. November is what matters.

      • Urthona

        I didn’t.

        I don’t care that much as long as it’s not Talarico.

    • ron73440

      Talrico is a lizard person.

      In his own way, he is every bit as empty and creepy as Mamdani.

    SugarFree is sick. Not just his normal sickness of the brain, but a physical malady which has sent him to the hospital.

    Clearly just one day of authorship isnt enough to purge all of the ill humours.

    In seriousness, I hope you get better quickly!

    • Drake

      So it has spread to other organs?

      Get well!

      • Sensei

        Thanks.

        Honda is the most California of automakers and sells a lot of vehicles in the state. It’s also one of a half dozen automakers that had to make individual deals with the California Air Resources Board over its past emissions violations

        I wonder what CARB concessions were forced upon Honda. I assume they could sell them elsewhere, but Honda can’t make the economics work without CA. Which seems odd…
