There's a Pokemon event today?

No one’s gay for Skarmory

The willpower to do 'stuff' exponentially increases as my time off draws nearer. Right now, doing stuff in Excel and updating a Miro board feels like it should be a full day of work

I will go to the gym this evening. I will go to the gym this evening. I will go to the gym this evening.

What if I put the link to my 360 feedback form on here? Could I trust everyone to be cool and say how awesome I am?

One habit I need to break: stop staying up late when I really get into a game. It ruins my flow for the next day, and I just can't handle the gym on 4-5 hours of sleep

Just seen as ex-colleague post a critical piece of work on AI in Research. It feels important because both them and the org were so pro-AI a few years ago that it shifted its whole org strategy and I didn't feel like I could stay.

"UX researchers, stop using ChatGPT and switch to Claude!" "AI in UX Research - where it actually helps" "I've spent the last 2.5 years figuring out how to actually use AI in my research" Why did I open LinkedIn?

Niles: And what does this serum of yours do, Cousin Jonathan? Scarecrow: It’s an airborne compound that causes fear and terror. Fraiser: Ah, just like Niles’s new aftershave.

Resourcing puzzle: You're a team of 2 that goes down to a team of 1, and then back 2 and then 3 because there's just that much work. In fact, there's work for 4 or 5. How do you carry on delivering when then 3 goes back down to a 2? Tip: Prioritisation isn't the solution because it's all urgent

I really should try and engage with the UXR community but I have no idea where to start

New show idea! A drama set on a dedicated hospital boat that travels the seas healing a new community every week! No more being stuck in Seattle or Chicago!

Homosexuals of Bluesky, what’s the underwear brand people go for these days?

“Wisdom of Crowds” is such an odd concept. Why would crowds be wise? Why is there an opposite to mob logic, herd mentality, or group think that people think actually works? Especially in workplaces?

Skyrim, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Dead by Daylight, Wrath of the Righteous, Baldur’s Gate

What on earth are those ChatGPT caricatures on Insta? Are people really giving it enough information to understand their jobs AND what they look like?

Mortgage documentation is such fun. Such fun, I say!

No gym today with this rain. Have you seen outside? And my not back to the size where I fit my rain-proof stuff

I’ve been out of the news cycle. We’re waiting for Starmer to be ousted because of Mandelson? And people are worried that Streeting will replace him? Is that about right?

Motherland is a documentary

Has anyone gone to Dungeons and Divas in Brighton at the Actors? I’m looking for a queer oriented dnd or board game thing

The second Friday of the year is 'quitter's day'. It's marketing but it's a nice rule of thumb. However, Friday was the first day of this year so is it actually tomorrow? Is that when everyone will give up?

This makes me dread looking for my next job. In a few years it seems that the whole job hunt has changed, and it wasn't fit for purpose to begin with

When did 'staff' become a seniority level? I know it's existed for a bit now but did we really need something else to slot next to Lead, Principal? It's goes Lead -> Staff -> Principal, right?

Middle aged skeet incoming: Some shelves I ordered are being delivered today and I’m excited!

“Good for business and against the LGBTQ agenda”. Well screw you too

Jesus Christ on a stick!

Early in the year reminder to buy these for Easter before they sell out

The gym is still fun. I hope I don’t lose that as the year goes on

I’m dumb, but would a customs union with our neighbour protect our economy from random tariff changes coming from the US?

2 weeks in and I’m still going to the gym and trying my best to hit my macros. I’m not counting down but I’m celebrating that success

still looks like the future

Why are people on insta throwing back to 2016? Is it so we can see the damage this continuous insanity has caused?

Question for the Product Designers and User Researchers, any advice for dealing with PMs that only see the product process through the tech lens? So pure build and launch based only on stakeholder feedback with no space for even half smallest double diamond

I don't recall saying good luck

Isn't the literally the opposite of casting doubting? Isn't this literally saying that ChatGPT was part of the writing process?

I'm going through Data Compliance training and there are so many Gen AI questions. Can there be a button where I affirm that I don't really want to ever use it and skip through the end quiz?

First proper week at the gym done. It’s still fun but I wonder what’ll happen when crunch time hits

Add this to the pile of evidence demonstrating why I don’t trust Guardian reviews

What’s the mess today?

How do you continuously and regularly fail healing skill checks? #dbd

January is really the worst month to have any resolutions. It’s clearly a capitalist plot to expect us to better ourselves exactly when we’re going into the coldest and wettest season

People in tech can't be the type of person who suffer from anxiety. The current version of agile, lean, strategy, Jira, planning, whatever just feels like a trapped fly banging against windows

First time an insight has been “participants think they can just do this with ChatGPT so don’t see any value”. It feels like a seal has been broken

Kefir isn’t too bad

I’ve just remembered that turn based mode has been in beta for pillars of eternity for a bit now. Hopefully not long until it comes to console
