A notification saying that David Bowie has started a countdown to the new album makes me want to unsubscribe from this whole universe altogether, where do I click?

I know, I know, I should be off to bed, but does anyone expect me to just get up right now? Apologies to the future self, but no

What does any reasonable person do when their Hyundai electrical kettle finally falls apart? That's right, they go get another Hyundai kettle. Because is there any other of those things that will last you over 5 years of hard daily work? Oh, there is? Does it also cost like 15 euros?

Opened Bsky to post something along the lines of Year Zero being so very relevant right now, but there's this on my feed already, so yeah. I guess the sentiment is global

BTW, Sigur Rós were in town, joined by some locals on stage

There's this kind of clients' emails that trigger Kowalczyk's voice in my head going "This is not helping me at all, where did we get this plan?"

Oh great, just got stung by a wasp during an argument over whether it's allowed to stay in my room or not. And the damn thing ain't intending to leave Kinda wishing I could teleport to my bandmate's place for an antihistamine, because my plan was to go to sleep by now, actually, not this

This bro here has a ton of excellent videos about making music, but today he's totally pissed off with YouTube, and it could easily be the best episode I've seen on the channel. No time to explain, just watch

Note to self: when there's no hot water, doing dishes right before showering is an extremely stupid idea

Tired in E♭

I can easily list 9 episodes of Murderbot that are way cooler than the tenth

See, NYT, sometimes your Connections game really is 'extremely tricky', but sometimes it's just 'factually incorrect'. Bit of a difference there, isn't it

Bit mind-blowing to think that my new cute little field recorder gadget is also a fully functional time machine. I can use it to record a sound AFTER it happened without breaking a single law of physics known to humans

Now "Theremin Homage to The Smiths" is an album I never expected to exist

**freezes in a perma-facepalm state** Warner Bros. Discovery Announces Max to Become HBO Max this Summer: press.wbd.com/us/media-rel...

And even though I've said "the new Yorke album is weird" every time there is a new Yorke album, I'm very tempted to say it again. But in a really good way this time

- Oh look, they've elected the new pope! - Who is it? - Some bloke we've never heard about - **takes to the streets to rejoice**

**Checks the calendar before posting** Wait, so the year is 2025, and America has invented... the ID card?

I think we should all agree that Havoc is actually _the_ Max Payne movie, pretend that previous one never happened and never talk about it again

"Vance in Delhi to meet Modi" reads like vocal hook from a Fatboy Slim track

I know, I know, we won't be hearing any of this any time soon, but one can dream, eh

Aww, I had forgotten how much Kitten loves lettuce. Lettuce and pizza crust is all she cares about from the human food counter. Not cheese. Not bacon. Not fish, FFS, no. Lettuce and pizza crust

A counter-intuitive post, probably, I know, but

Yeah, ok, not too proud about it, but there's a firefighter truck downstairs on full alert mode, and I found myself in the kitchen holding the kitten up so she can see it better, humming "Look at all the pretty lights" to that Thom Yorke tune

Of course it makes sense. People working in state institutions don't even get the very concept of doing things for a result. For them work is a process, not a goal-oriented action. It's not their fault. It's taught behaviour. But 23 revisions of same very simple invitation in – I'm also mad AF

Me after listening to that "I wanted to be a Thai girl" monologue in White Lotus: "OK, now this is literally a Jesus fucking Christ situation, isn't it"

If not for the orange man's tantrum, I would have never found out there's a .hm TLD. Except that well.hm is already taken, which is a bit of a downer

Quick notice for my clients: if I say "sorry, I don't have time for this right now" what I'm actually trying to say is "sorry, I don't have time for this right now"

Oh ok, the new Kae Tempest track is real damn cool in a very unexpected way

"Never mix on headphones" is a legit advice, but don't try mixing whilst your balcony door is open, either

"I laugh in the face of logic. I despise your petty reason. I am the captain of my own destiny!" said a designer unknown to me and made a 5 x 3 m poster entirely in Photoshop. At 300 dpi. Almost 6 gigabytes of pure human genius

What it says on the box in big letters: This gadget comes with a free copy of Amazing Software! What it does not say on the box: Amazing Software is free for everyone else, too

OK, I think my respect for Zelenskyy just doubled

The NYT would do the world a huge favour if they could publish a list people who made four mistakes in today's Connections

Dear manager, This week: 1 Rented a flat above a shop 2 Cut my hair 3 Smoked some fags 4 Played some pool 5 Pretended I never went to school Admittedly I never got it right

Not like anyone asked, but I'm pretty sure the world needs a slo-mo vid of Kitten staying hydrated

Oh. just a nice little feature on MapQuest. I mean, not like it matters much any more

OK, listen, have I communicated with this person before? On multiple occasions? Is this particular email a part of an ongoing conversation? Well then it's probably NOT JUNK, is it?

Anyone remember which were the last versions of Illustrator and InDesign that were still actually usable?

My favourite part about the .epub format is how the TOC file has a link to TOC that points at itself, so that a device that has found the TOC file knows where to look for the TOC file and find out where the TOC is located, because it needs to know, where... yeah, nevermind

I had forgotten how fun Bookie is

Who knew that this song will be more relevant now than when it was released, huh?

– Look, GPT created this logo for me! And actually really like it! – Beautiful! Now do a reverse image search on it, and never use that first sentence again

Wait, so WeTransfer decided it will be a grand move to force people into making an account just to download a file? Well, bye-bye WeTransfer, was nice knowing you

I'll make an exception to not posting Wordle stats, because ha! 🟨🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

But srsly, how on earth did humans manage to domesticate cats before inventing cardboard?

I know, I know, the idea of throwing a 50 % tax on all them firecrackers and then forwarding all the funds to animal shelters sounds absurd and illogical at first, but is it

One would assume people might think twice before torching their fireworks in a fog like this, because lol And one would be absolutely wrong. People seem to be addicted to noise

Aaaaand we're down to 0 reasons to ever open Twitter again

As of now, the plan is to get up real early on Wednesday and properly enjoy those next week's few hours without the stupid wind Subject to change, of course
