I sleep in a big bed with my spouse

Anyway, has anyone good suggestions for dealing with stress? Not mindfulness or breathing, that makes it worse, but I feel very much like Ross Geller when someone stole hs sandwich and that’s not sustainable

having a stress dream about a college exam is so embarrassing. like ma’am, you’re closer to menopause than graduation, please get a new fear.

Ewwwww

As if spam emails weren’t bad enough sales bods seem to now pivot to spam calendar invites and I reallly really don’t appreciate that

Once you really grasp that we’re tiny little creatures clinging on to a rock hurtling through space in an irrelevant little spiral arm of one of millions or billions of galaxies, conscious only for a blinking of an eye in the universe’s life, all this fussing & fighting seems really, really stupid.

Maybe just maybe we should look through his hard drives

What is all this anxiety about? Would be cool if it cools go away again. It’s distracting and probably not healthy.

Companies whose entire business model is stealing from everyone complaining about others stealing from them is an entertaining new genre.

5 German tourists have been rescued from “an ice floe carrying a sauna tent, a motorised saw and an onboard motor after they lost control of their DIY vessel in the Stockholm archipelago.” They attempted to “create their motor-powered floating sauna when the swell from a ferry broke the ice.” 🤪🥂

The European commissioner for human rights urges countries planning to exercise authoritarian restrictions on children's access to online connection to instead focus on creating safer online platforms that protect children's rights.

Same is true for business cases and strategy papers

It was the BBC's decision to wrongfully fail to edit the tic out originally. But how we all conduct ourselves is ours.

Any merit in the drivel I write comes from learning painstakingly how to write essays. To assay - to test - exactly what I thought and knew about a matter. Great essayists - Woolf, Orwell, Bacon, Montaigne, Hazlett - are utter intellectual joys as you read how they test themselves on topics too.

This dude apparently is a professor. How?

Do elderly parents ever get easier? I really don’t want to argue with my mum but she is making it fucking difficult

“You’ll be mad when they start arresting people on YOUR side” nobody who had business with the paedophile is on my side. go get em lads

Your outdated pop music references bring all the boys to the yard

Your outdated pop music references are as serious as cancer

People have always found ways of cheating, but this is just so depressing. Feels like the inevitable endpoint of the commodification of education.

Good analysis. This is why I love and hate my job in equal measure

i can feel this brewing already bcos there is no easy answer? one way is racist and just expecting Black ppl to put up with harmful slurs and the other is ableist and saying that ppl with certain neurological conditions should be shut out of society. i don't think either of those is correct

Not Sara's point here, but if you are someone who sees Daily Tism posts and consistently thinks, "That's nothing to do with autism, everyone is like that," then I have some news for you and your enormous Warhammer collection or elaborate train set.

years of the "hang it in The Louvre" and someone finally did it!

Britain is never going to have a serious conversation about the fact that one of the queen's final acts in life was to knowingly spend millions protecting one of Jeffrey Epstein's top collaborators just because he was mummy's favourite special boy. She was a cruel, out of touch piece of shit.

A Xennial/Elder Millennial super power is being able to adjust to any infosphere collapse. We've lived through the deaths of radio, TV, newspapers, the first Internet, the second Internet, T9, Napster, Friendster, Club Penguin...all of it is ephemeral. We can adapt. We had Zunes FFS.

Good luck to the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives who are in court today in the Mazur case, challenging what can only be called (ahem, searches for polite term) one of the most extraordinary judicial decisions of modern times. Background www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/mazur-m...

A sunny morning and I’m in a sports hall in Grimsby. The things I do for this sport

Georgia was skating to MORTAL KOMBAT at the Olympics exhibition gala

Yet again I signed up to ref something that’s far away enough to require my alarm to go off before 7AM. Why am I doing this to myself!

I don’t think gentle parenting was really a thing in the firm

What does it profit a man to have billions of dollars if he has no one to, lovingly, tell him to shut the fuck up

The sign of a good marriage is if both of you are seeing a Banarama video and immediately wonder if Robert De Niro actually can talk italian

The Gen X to do anything for love (but not that )

A bandwagon you say? Let me on!

Seems likely. My biggest takeaway is that immigrants are apparently the only thing preventing the UK from being overrun by free-roaming lions, which makes me even more pro-immigrant than I was before.

Every year I have to do mandatory procurement process training and every year I’m profoundly glad I have skilled colleagues who specialise in this stuff so I don’t have to. It’s all about accountability and delivering that reliably is about process which has to be properly designed; none of it easy.

The last saved photo of a celebrity is your therapist Nopety nope

Book recommendation: There is No Antimemetics Division by qntm. Possibly the most terrifying book I’ve read since I was a child. The things we forget are as much a part of who we are as the things we remember. And how do you save us from something that stops us perceiving it? Absolute mindfuck

Die FAZ, sonst der Hort genauer Begriffsexegese, ist doch sehr tolerant mit sich, oder hat es damit zu tun, dass man sexualisierte Gewalt einfach nicht ernst nimmt. Ihr London-Korrespondent nannte Epstein-Opfer Gespielinnen, und meite später, es sei missverständlich. Entschuldigung?

"I'm just glad the Queen didn't have to see this" I wish she HAD seen it and THAT had been what killed her (instead of the deadly handshake of Liz Truss).

I dreamed I was scrolling and I thought, “You really gotta stop scrolling and sleep, Kerry, this is getting ridiculous”
