Bad Machinery by John Allison for November 12, 2019

That’s a lot of owners for one mug of tea.

She wants all immediately. But this is not how journalism works.

“We had to do heavy rewrites on your more libelous sections.”

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Inform your patrons forthwith!

Messin’ with Lotte can be dangerous.

Heh, that mug they’re trying to snatch from each other…

I forgot this is Lottie we’re talking about, and how she doesn’t have a very good filter. I suppose those articles WOULD need a bit of editing, mostly for liability reasons…

Lottie always tells the truth unless she can think of something better.

In some circles, Lottie’s breezy presumptiveness and sense of entitlement would not be regarded with the indulgent fondness she seems to expect. (I know it should be “presumption” but “presumptiveness” seemed a little stronger.)

Technically, Lotte, you DID build the bombs. And it was the Cormorant that had to drop them. Look at how badly its wings are damaged from all the flak.

Lottie seems (and appears) to be gearing up to take over the role of Margo Magee in an Apartment 3-G re-boot.

Editors re-write. It’s what they do. Reporters still get a byline.

What the hell is that growing on his forehead? Or am I just late to the party?
