It most definitely is not summer anymore – in either hemisphere, as it happens. If you are in the northern hemisphere, this is the time when all the pumpkin spice crazies (almost all of them female, the remainder sackless soyboys) come crawling out of the woodwork. If you are in the southern hemisphere, I suppose things are a bit better – unless you live in Australia, where, as we are legally obligated to point out, LITERALLY EVERYTHING WANTS TO KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR EYEBALLS FOR JUJUBEES!!!!!!!
Regardless, it IS a Monday, so I suppose we should all try to drag ourselves through the dreariness and drudgery of the day with all the composure we are able to muster.
And to help us along, of course, we have the Great Mondaydact Browser Squisher, packed full of enough madness to melt your computer memory.
This week, we kick off with some excellent lessons in how to destroy businesses. I’ve been watching a lot of this channel of late, because it provides a superb understanding of how businesses start out with great ideas, and then cock it all up. Given the nature of a Monday, these videos are great reminders of why you can never take success for granted.
And here is a particularly good and topical one:
There is plenty more to watch, and that will keep you plenty busy for many hours.

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from The Male Brain, and looks at how many of one’s senses are necessary for imprinting memories:
In this work, we analyse the fundamental question: how many senses are optimal for memory and learning. To answer this question, we introduce and analyse a novel kinetic model of memory engrams. The model, built on basic general principles and phenomenology, captures the engrams’ emergence and evolution driven by their interaction with external environment, learning, and forgetting. We derive the corresponding kinetic equation governing the dynamics and evolution of engrams over time. We then solve this equation analytically and numerically through Monte Carlo simulations. We observe the formation of a steady state with a steady number of different engrams covering a fraction of the conceptual space. We analyze the impact of the dimension of the conceptual space on the steady state and discover the existence of a critical dimension, at which the number of different engrams is maximal; we provide a theoretical explanation of this observation. If each feature is associated with a different sense, the critical dimension corresponds to an optimal number of senses for a system aiming at keeping the maximal number of different concepts in its memory. We also reveal an apparent tension between the system’s receptivity to new stimuli and concept sharpness—the higher the receptivity, the less sharp the learned concept becomes.

Finally, here are your drastic plastic fantastic Instathots to get the week off to a suitably ridiculous start. First up, Alyona Starykh, age 31 from Lvov, Ukraine. As with all khokholinas – especially the ones from the western bits of 404 – Country Not Found – she is BUGSHIT NUTS, which means, “look, don’t touch, not even with surgical gloves and a 30-foot pole”.
And Jena Wolfy, age 29 from Amerikhastan, who is a TikTokist and OnlyFools “content creator” – we all know what that means:

“Anyone who thinks life is good in Dubai, should see what happens if you try to take cocaine, in any amount, over there”
Foreign drug smugglers getting a 25 year sentence in a no-frills prison. Yeah, I would vote for that.
