Sunday Funnies – LOLs – June 28, 2026

OK, not really an LOL to your editor. It’s a comic that brings back painful memories of actual events.

Adding staff to a project in the middle is problematic: (1) you have to bring them up to speed, and (2) you’re likely to get staff that can be spared from other projects — not necessarily the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Similarly, a PM (project manager) added in the middle can be useful, or can just be a dysfunctional scheduler of status meetings, status update reports, and, if they are really bad, someone who attempts to assign blame when asked to do so by management. The difference between a good project manager and a poor project manager is immense. [end of rant]

“You cannot turn off autoplay”

Editor ZBicyclist is on vacation, and taking a cue from comics that repeat old episodes is dipping back into the past: June 2021. This was originally posted by EditorM. Repeating a synchronicity about autoplay seems appropriate, somehow.

A synchronicity of LOLs from Boise Ed:

(However, I think the “Previously on” does not count as part of the Intro that gets skipped if you so elect.)

I volunteer as a tax preparer, and Illinois requires information off the driver’s license or state ID in order to process the return. One of these information items is the weight shown. That’s used to match with the information the state has, to control identity theft.

But it’s pretty obvious from comparing what’s on the license with what I see in front of me that the state makes little attempt to confirm the information given.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – May 17, 2026

Polymarket is a prediction market — under current rules of the CFTC, technically not gambling so legal in all 50 states. It allows you to gamble (ahem, “predict” with $ at risk) on a wide variety of things. Here are some of the trending bets as I’m writing this (May 2, 2026). Note you can bet on whether Bitcoin (BTC) will go up or down in a 5 minute period. But that’s not gambling. Definitely not gambling.

Boise Ed sends this in: “So long as he considers it only a first draft and revises it as needed, why not take advantage? (I do appreciate Wayno’s irony, though.) And I like the name RevBot.”

Happy Mothers’ Day!

We’re going to lead off today with a nice Synchronicity sent in by Ian C:

Bonus panel:

The mouseover text also plugs his Patreon page.

Yes, we’ve de-emphasized synchronicities because we were getting too much clutter (really, talking animals show up every day in my feeds), but these from April 23 also qualify as LOLs, so here we are.

We definitely passed on a May 7 synchronicity in which both Reality Check and Real Life Adventures featured cat vomit.

Yorick’s absence: was it due to some skullduggery?
