Just poked my head into my mothballed twitter account and my notifications are nothing but alerts about new Yaxley-Lennon posts. I mean, I knew it was crap over there now, but good lord.

You know how Bluesky is basically “remember when twitter was good … basically that”, is there an equivalent for Google?

House prices have gone up in the French town of Sauté since it's become gentlyfried.

The genius thing about the John Lewis ad – it’s basically designed to be messed with and memed. Have already seen multiple alternative needle-drops on various platforms.

All I'm saying is, what if during a colossal cost of living fiasco, every supermarket entered an unprecedented pact to completely sack off ALL Christmas advertising, and instead put the collective £400m (more? Less? Who knows) into giving millions of households a free Christmas 'big shop'.

Maximum spaceship targeting computer vibes

Margot Kidder in New York, photographed by Patrick Jarnoux, 1979. You will never be this cool. It’s simply not going to happen. Condolences.

but the fourth sequel to the prequel to the sequel to the remake that has since been rebooted gave the franchise such a tidy ending possibly

Pebbling: sending little links and memes to the people that you love. Derived from the behavior of gentoo penguins, who “pick up pebbles in their beak and carry them to their partners or potential partners as a gift”. [redsetteragency.com]

Can’t wait for the new season of Twisted Oak

OOF. Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie is the current reigning champion for Worst TV Show Ever, so I’m kind of intrigued to see what new depths of terrible he’s mined here.

Why would a tumble dryer start generating a whole load of static? It’s been fine for years, and now all of a sudden everything comes out like

just get them a calendar, they’ll never know the difference

So basically John Lewis’ moodboard this year consisted of Aftersun and only Aftersun.

Fascinated by the occasional twitches and emissions from the zombie social network that is myspace.com. Nothing happens for months and months … then all of a sudden there’s a SPIN news feed?!

Yeah. You've laid bare the mechanics of the process now, we've all seen it, we don't need to see it again. And again.

Slogans aren’t what they used to be.

One million right-wing people feeling forced to leave NY, freeing up vast amounts of real estate and lowering rent costs?! If it were true, and there was an “exododus”, it seems like a win-win.

One little detail in A House of Dynamite completely took me out of the action: all of the letters in the WH briefing room were the correct way up. Complete fantasy. Might as well have been set in Narnia.

On startup, my tv proudly boasts “OLED SECURED BY KNOX” and um okay what does this even mean

We should teach our kids this stuff like we do road safety. (And to identify the behaviour in the first place. A narcissist is not what most people think - in the colloquial sense - and they’re all much the same, the boring little boilerplate toxic toddlers.)

For the National Year of Reading, I'd like to see a publisher-neutral pro-reading campaign on the scale of the library one from the 80s and 90s please. Who would be your top choices of celebs to get kids reading now? Rights would be a nightmare but what a bout a k pop demon hunter drawn reading...

Any book designers out there using Affinity instead of InDesign? Any good?

me: my brain: HERE’S THE THEME TUNE FROM BUTTERFLIES YOU ORDERED, JUST SIGN HERE PLEASE

geez they could’ve made the type bigger

Irresponsibly posting my location on social media.

Somehow you still can’t watch The Pitt in the UK. THIS WILL NOT STAND.
