Side sleepers - give me your pillow recommendations. Tried Tempur Cloud Cool - didn’t like. Have had older Tempur Cloud and loved them - no longer available. Help.

Anyone know how Hamas handed over the remains of someone the IDF had already retrieved? I’m very confused.

I don’t think I’ve really felt ‘dead internet’ quite like today. The % of my feed in some channels made up of Sora2 videos is pretty overwhelming.

iOS26 looks like a bag of balls Amiright?

Been in a hiring process since the beginning of July. First month heard nothing. Then invited to interview: 90 mins including a task. 5 weeks later, still haven’t had an outcome communicated. Last comms was 2 weeks ago apologising for the delay and saying outcome would be shared last week. Yay?

I can smell the OKR discussion that led to this bullshit

Bodes well that since starting my job hunt that 3 recruiters I’ve spoken to have since left the industry :-/

And I’m back. The job hunt starts again on Monday. I’ll leave you with our final pic from Provence.

This is me for the next fortnight. Nestled in the Luberon.

Post a ten year old pic of yourself

That disposable vape ban is going well then

I think the most sublime act of corporate passive-aggression is the ‘my calendar is up-to-date’ reply. It’s a polite power play. It’s practically impossible to respond to without seeming like an asshole. Do you yield to getting a CC teabagging or do you throw toys? A true white-collar snookering.

Today’s meatventure at smokestak

In anticipation of meat heavy day tomorrow. Tonight’s dinner, asparagus with garlic, miso, lemon, chilli butter beans with some pecorino shaved on top.

Fresh mint, choc swirl ice cream on the make. Churning begins in about an hour.

Making a 5 second video with AI uses as much power as putting a microwave on for an hour. Don’t do it for lols. mashable.com/article/ener...

Ooof that £300m liability tho. Good luck, tata.

At some point, you go from feeling like everyone on TV is older than you to everyone on TV being younger than you. Logically this is obvious. But the feeling creeps up on you and then happens all of a sudden.

Made a banging salad for dinner. I can’t get a job, but I can feed us well.

Latest episode of @crosstabspodcast.bsky.social is live, featuring @farisyakob.com talking about how useless the concept of the "average" American, consumer, voter, really is: www.crosstabspodcast.com/p/a-post-tru... Going to include the links we talked about in this thread 🧵

Seems like a really good time to be unemployed :-/ On the plus side - the new Daredevil series is really good. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

S2 of Severance is weird as hell.

New Forest lols featuring a sequoia tree

People that install taps likes this. Go kick yourself in the nuts.

Homemade from scratch: chilli, guac, pickled onions, wedges. Stupidly good.

Today’s ice cream - raspberry ripple. Progress pics throughout the day.

Wife bought an ice cream maker for me for my birthday (tomorrow). It is both ridiculous and amazing. Strawberry and mint ice cream coming up.

My namesake gif

Wrote about Last Christmas, top of the pops, AI as ‘fuzzy interface’, bitcasting and the network effects of cumulative average $ the media business - enjoy! mediacat.uk/party-of-one/

People that reply to job postings on LI with "I'm interested". Why? How is that useful. Just message them or use the email address they put in the post. You're a job seeker - what do you want - them to fall over themselves and say "omg great let's talk"?

Baked potatoes topped with sausages, caramelised onions and beans incoming.

This thing is glorious. I don't even play Fortnite but think this is cool.

Last brag pic. Next week, work hunting.

Not a whisp of wind or cloud

My body’s enthusiasm for a 3rd consecutive day of snowboarding is suboptimal. The 40yr old body whispers things to my brain like “what about sitting down instead tho?” and “man, some video games sound great about now”

Pro tip: don’t put a banana in your bag for an in piste snack if you ever fall over. Inside of my bag looks like a horror movie :(

I seen a snowbow

J’arrive

Solo snowboarding trip begins. There’s been 50cm of new snow over the last couple days and expecting clear sunny skies for the whole week ahead. Smashing.

Vegetarian delight. Whole baked sweet potato and fried halloumi served on top of Greek yoghurt spiked with garlic and lemon juice. Also with chunky cucumber, some quinoa and a heap of fresh mint and parsley. Drizzled with olive oil and pomegranate molasses.

Conditions looking good. Planning to go to Les Arcs next weekend solo for a week. Wish me luck, if I break something, it’s going to be a bugger getting myself and the car home oO

A snap from last night in the fog

Nothing says you’re having bad luck like opening the window of your advent calendar and there being nothing in it.

It’s that time of year where pricks sit in their cars/vans outside your house revving the engine for 5-10 minutes waiting for their windows to defrost at unreasonably early hours of the morning. Unless you’re rich, of course.

I’d say unemployment is going pretty well.

The internet has been trying really hard today to get me to buy dogecoin. So I bought a lottery ticket.

lol "benefits"

What is life? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

one minute you’re laughing having fun and then you remember you’re over 40 and your body starts reacting when you just look at snow reports and start day dreaming of going boarding.

Tried ordering a saucier from Made In a couple weeks ago. Since then, have received 5-10 marketing emails. I’ve emailed them twice asking where my order is - it hasn’t been dispatched. All I’ve had back is sorry’s and expectations set that have been missed. Should have guessed. Gram ads tell all.
