an anthem for post-brexit millennial ennui

I stand by my claim that anyone who talks about "ruined immersion" in games is an idiot whose opinion can be rightfully dismissed

I am reminded of the lady in front of me at Saino's not long after the 10p bag charge was introduced... "10p? For a bag?! No thank you, I'll just carry these! Honestly, 10p for a BAG!"

Desperately trying to make the most of live music while I’m still on this side of the word… and just got tickets to see Dimitri from Paris which has been on my list for a LONG time 🪩

actually not every interaction and item in the world has to be persistently rated, scored, ranked, and reviewed

Oh my god, we're having a fire... *checks notes* ...sale

“What the hell…?”

World is fukt, make ragu

The matcha fad has officially jumped the shark

There is no rational reason for any “individual” account to be following near to 100,000 people. That they don’t get yeeted from the platform for the obvious inauthenticity is beyond me

I feel like so much energy is expended on political analysis in this country when the obvious solution of proportional representation is staring us in the face. The opposition to it is completely self-defeating and I cannot wait to see the FPTP system collapse at the next election.

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

INVINCIBLE!

The soup of the day is porcini, chanterelle, and chestnut mushroom risotto

Last RT: love to see a "hrm, this precis challenges my established views. I'm going to try and gotcha the guy sharing the study instead of reading the study myself" guy in the wild

Even more evidence that building new housing decreases rents: Researchers tracked the residents of a newly built luxury condo building and found that they freed up less expensive apartments nearby. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

You hungry, mama?

Citra quite clearly channeling my feelings on the imminently approaching Monday

what convinces the hype guys that nobody has used any AI recently? I used Claude *this week* and it literally got the date wrong

this stuff is going to revolutionise the world, folks

I guess some things really do run in the family

I STARTED the mole people. I was there first. And then they made up committees that throw people out just because they don't like the way you look.

I keep telling friends abroad baffled by Brexit that we spent billions to replicate systems that we already had, to align to standards we already followed, to trade with partners we already traded with... and now I see we're not even getting the systems we spent billions on 🙃

also, sorry to wang on, but the big bookstores make buying and visibility decisions based on pre-order numbers, so if you think you probably *will* buy the book, you're doing me a massive favour buy ordering now. also, since there's a discount, you're doing YOU a favour, too. so

I am very much in search of work right now if anyone’s looking for a freelance WordPress developer. I build custom themes, bespoke for each project I work on. I don't personally do design/ branding but I do know some designers if you need that too.

Want to lose 5kg fast? Just contract norovirus! You certainly will not regret losing 5kg in 36 hours by contracting norovirus.

I want the objectors here to be boiled in oil. I want them to be torn apart with red hot pincers. Even more draconianly, I want them to be forced to move to a suburb 50km from the CBD with no public transport and give their fucking house to someone who appreciates it archive.is/202602150241...

Personally I'll be waiting until tomorrow for twice as many marshmallows

Same energy. The kids are alright.

A masterclass in designing a survey to confuse as many people as possible into giving a wrong answer. But what else should we expect from the Home Office?

Here are more of his covers. I could really keep posting dozens of them!

RIP Robert Tinney (November 22, 1947 – February 1, 2026), the artist famous for his playful covers for Byte magazine, a hobbist magazine that ushered in the microcomputing age from the mid-70s through the 90s. I'm honored to have included his work in my own art collection.

I just noticed my bottle of melatonin tabs has a warning that they may cause drowsiness. Yeah, I fucken hope so.

Trains and the ocean, name a more iconic duo

I think this cat has a side-quest for me
