I haven’t seen a lot of people talk about this outside of the particular circles but I follow Alzheimer’s research quite closely. There is HUGE research based on a central premise: amyloid plaque formation as a cause Just a couple of years ago this BLEW UP. The whole thing was essentially fraud

“You can find online ADHD quizzes to do!” Me: Does *every* online quiz

I have now had two different execs say “if this was 10 years ago it would have been as easy yes” so I turns out I may have a mountains of cocaine project

It’s because….. argh - it’s so directly abusive, in public, which means he made everyone in the room immediately complacent to it. Something seeped through from some horrific sex thing that he demands. It’s not “just” some random insult. There’s something deeply humiliating & ritualistic about it.

Is there simply a lobster tank for old white guy presidential candidates one can feast upon

Tech companies continuing to give themselves names that we collectively would roll our eyes at if any of the teams used it on The Apprentice

More evidence for my theory that artists have but one core idea their whole lives & simply iterate its delivery Del Toro: I, but a mangled weird fish-boy, one day will find my manic pixie goth girl (I say this with HUGE LOVE)

Deeply deeply disturbing trends of academics sharing surveys to ostensibly ask about learning techniques of neurodivergents only to yet again ask - what learning platforms would you prefer for a mindfulness course

No, the phrase “consensual sex between two adults” was not made for whatever it was they did

Me: I would like a t-shirt in a colour other than black or white The Shops: Have you tried - and hear me out - beige Me: wtf, anything else? The Shops: We also have it in brown

85mins into the movie: Only he with the purest heart may drink from the ancient chalice to save the world Our hero, handsome but not a dick about it, saved a school of orphans in Act One: I am not afraid *drinks* *instantly dies* Narrator: We found the “Controversies” section on his Wikipedia

Another formative one - Krauss wrote The Physics of Star Trek which I read half a dozen times. We need a world where we are simply NOT raised by people who turn out to be monsters

Mirror just before I leave the house: You look completely normal. Quite pleasant in fact, & your fit is fire. Why am I being coy - truly you are a cute - and dare I say *attractive* gal, (with smooth skin no less!) Photo of me taken by someone else shortly after: WHY ARE YOU SUCH A HIDEOUS TROLL

in my absence all restaurant servers have been meticulously trained in forcefully asking you for your allergies, I now have about eighteen different variations of trying to describe my visceral hatred of butter I require a category where they ask what foods are you mind-strippingly horrified by

A lot of people it turns out want to remind me of how great my photography was - but all it does is bring up an astoundingly painful decade of my life which I am not healed from yet I just end up having to politely acrobatically swallow an entire PTSD flashback. NOT SURE how to navigate this

Does the Uk do this - did we abandon phonics? Turns out the US has been teaching kids to read by essentially…. guessing, like an LLM

Would you rather game overheard on the train: Would you rather for the rest of your life have No kisses OR No sauces

Ok I’m off out of London again, I hardly saw anyone but I did see a whole bunch of art, which made me very excited and very sad - I’ll try not to leave it so long next time

I was hoping to finally buy some fun t-shirts in London and is it just me or has everything kind of… been averaged out, everything is plainer, safer, more conservative, like it’s all been mastered tooooo much

Again I am convinced there are two species of human on earth and this is the other, rancid one

Is Running Man about Glenn Powell dressing up again Listen as much as I deride the Fringe, this is what it’s FOR, to get it out your system, Glenn

Have gotten a lot of perspective on the National Gallery’s permanent collection. It’s quite singularly depressing, such a narrow veneration of a majority of very very well funded works with exquisite materials, made to flatter nobles, wield soft cultural power and pander to their ego

The Ursula K Le Guin exhibition is tiny (one room) but free at the AA Gallery, ideal to pop into in between rushing around central London for a significantly calming embrace Tolkien was not the only one out there cartographically expressing his neurodivergence

There is a current exhibition in London that was reviewed as better than the current Gilbert & George exhibition? But I can’t remember what it was if anyone knows what I am talking about????

❤️ trans community ❤️ cc’ing in every MP, it is a wonderful and winning position

Incredibly late notice but yes I am in London and I will be at the BBC Club at Broadcasting House this evening if anyone (anyone nice) is around 🫖

You didn’t do this kind of renovation unless you’re planning to either stay in your house for a decade more or you’re going to flip it

Change one letter, ruin a candy Knickers

Is it wrong to think of Kevin McKidd as a thicc Tintin

Is everyone mad

Wailed to a Gen Zer that Google search is dead - it was bad last year but this year it is like wading through the basement of a vomitorium He said the only option right now for research is ChatGPT with the sycophancy settings (somehow) turned off, before they fully break it too. What are we DO

Apple has its own problems but for right now if you’re interested in flushing Spotify in the trash, Apple Music has a pretty seamless and really surprisingly quick tool that allows you to migrate all your Spotify playlists

Denormalise being right about one thing in one instance and concluding you should make a podcast about it

I yet again proclaim that The Diplomat is unrealistic because no one would ever want to fuck a Tory

Literally only watching Slow Horses for the drippingest drip of all drips, no one drips it better: Gaius Baltar

After so many horror stories I cannot recommend any child get an official autism diagnosis because of the very real danger that “accommodations” imposed on them will be ABA or ABA-based. Being “diagnosed” autistic makes as much sense as being “diagnosed” gay. You have, deep down, always known.

I feel like my skin is going to explode off if I see someone loitering near a terrifying edge, is this vertigo by proxy

❤️ Three year anniversary today ❤️ As is tradition, three goats get released, each on one of the hills of Istanbul and as a team my beloved and I must hunt and capture them before midnight Lest we turn into goats ourselves

So the news is that we got selected for the UK Space Agency Accelerator incubator programme & I am quite mindblown about it

Is there anyone still masking in London? A genuine question, I may be popping in and I fear I am going to be such a dork (plus ça change tbf)

There is a man sitting next to me at the cafe smoking the stinkiest pipe and it reminded me one of the reasons I don’t like fantasy much is that most of the characters look like they could all do with a good wash

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

I do not know how to think about Sliwa. He’s obviously nuts and unvotable but to hear him talk about Cuomo in the most guttural New York twang is absolutely life-affirming, he wants to curdle his blood until he boils alive from the inside. The lesson to learn is that we have all been too polite

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Following a YouTube software tutorial by listening partly in the background and assuming you are so smart you simply learn by osmosis: 18 minutes Following a YouTube software tutorial by actually trying to follow along the steps with the software open: 4 hours & 18 minutes ☠️

Right getting back to work, waking my computer to find the thing I was working on was googling Alexander Skarsgard

Greenlighting a wholly original and brand new idea where Glenn Powell dresses up as a less attractive man

I think with Chair Company the difficulty is that how has he managed to even survive this long let alone have a wife and two kids, a mall development and a kitchen island

Baltar as simpering head spook is really one of the best bits of all the Slow Horse casting

“Every parade has a right to exist” truly a Parks & Rec line
