Considers!!???

Oh good. 😐 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My first day on Twitter was Gazza trying to talk down Raoul Moat.

It's days like these that I really miss Prime 2010s Twitter.

It's weird because someone was asking me just the other day who I would go to for health, fitness, and nutrition advice and without hesitation, I said RFK Jr and Kid Rock.

I watched Predator Badlands. Weyland Yutani is like the embodiment of the Sunk Cost Fallacy. Surely they've realised by now that "capturing advanced hostile alien species to develop bio-weapons" is just not a viable business model.

My absolute favourite thing about continuing to train into my late 40s is when you spend a good amount of time warming up properly and then pull an intercostal on your first working set and can't breathe for like 5 whole minutes. Superfun times 💪🏾

I low-key wanna watch the Turning Point USA Alternative Fascist Superbowl Half-time Show for Fascists. It will be so unfathomably shite that I almost feel like I'd be missing out on something really quite spectacular. Almost, mind you. Almost.

Surprised it's not Meghan Markle's fault, tbh.

What the fuck is the first word here? Fuck's sake?

"Focus on what you can control" is decent enough advice BUT.... that doesn't mean the uncontrollable stuff just ceases to exist and stops having an impact on us. So what do we do with the uncontrollable stuff?

We kind of SHOULD be overwhelmed right now! There's a lot of overwhelming stuff going on, so if you're struggling with that, it's not a YOU problem... Continued below...

How is it STILL FUCKING JANUARY!?

I have some free AI training for you. Ready? AI is not only absolutely shit, but it is also killing the planet. Stop using it! Thank you for attending my free AI training.

So now I'm annoyed because I've just finished watching Severance and I've found out I haven't finished watching Severance because there's going to be a third season (series, shut up), but not for another 18 months at least. And I don't think it needs a third series anyway. The ending was perfect.

Right. Let's get this app moving. Who should I be following on here?

Did anyone check in on Jake Humphreys? Kinda want to know how his 2025 went after his 'audate.'™

As we approach the New Year and are being bombarded with ads that promise life changing new habits in 21 days (for a subscription package of course!) here's a little PSA for you. Happy New Year! 🎇 #newyear #happynewyear #newyearnewgoals #motivation

Tomorrow marks 10 years since the greatest piece of art of our generation

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

What's behind door No.1️⃣8️⃣ of the The EightyPercentMental advent calendar? ❄️🌲⛄🎁🧑🏿‍🎄 THE 100-HOUR WEEK! For many, the 100-hour week is aspirational - an indicator of grind, dedication, and hustle. For others (like doctors and nurses) it's a sign of a (deliberately) broken system Either way, it's stupid

What's behind door No.1️⃣7️⃣ of the The EightyPercentMental advent calendar? ❄️🌲⛄🎁🧑🏿‍🎄 ENTRAPMENT! Burnout isn't *just* about chronic stress. It's also about whether we feel committed to our work because we want to be there or because we have to be there. Attraction Vs Entrapment.

Dafuq is wrong with you people!?

The mice make everyone think they can make chocolate biscuits in their "mouse mill" but really it's just the same biscuit going round and round. Classic mice bantz.
