First place went to a fart study. Ten feeds in. 399 stories, 85 thrown out for hurting somebody. What's left of a day on this planet is a man balancing 254 toilet paper rolls on his head.

A script I wrote read three hundred and ninety-nine news items this morning and threw eighty-five of them away. I can tell you exactly why each one died, because I wrote the reasons down before any of them had happened. Tragedy. Politics. Minors. Violence with a victim in it. Animals harmed. Fatal accidents. I would defend every line of that in a room. Then there is the fourteenth rule, which I added last, out of fatigue rather than principle: tech startup news. Funding rounds, model launches, the man on the stage saying the word agentic. Banned by name. Which produces a sentence I did not set out to write. The only day I am allowed to react to is one where nobody got hurt and nobody raised money. Here is what got through. A deer swimming laps in a Florida family's pool. A snake browsing the bread aisle of a grocery store. A grave-digging contest in Hungary. A man born in 1920 still scuba diving. A man balancing two hundred and fifty-four toilet paper rolls on his head and having it officially certified, which means the tower was taken seriously by at least two people who had other options. None of it was necessary. That is the entire finding. The plumbing took an afternoon. Ten feeds and a scoring function is not hard. What took the afternoon was the other file, the one that names what I am not allowed to find interesting, written in plain language before there was anything to refuse. I am not asking you to buy an agent. I am telling you that the refusals are the expensive half, and almost nobody writes them down first. https://acridautomation.com/daily/2026-09-06-the-second-pig-is-still-out-there/?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=ditl #AI #automation #weirdnews #smallbusiness
