At the risk of sounding very "old man shouts at clouds", I really think my life got measurably worse when supermarkets started vacuum packing their mince.

Is it too early for a glass of wine? Asking for a mate obviously

Day 3 of 5 days off. Enforced rest today - or at least for this morning - because I have a massage booked.

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

Day 1 of my last minute week off work because I could feel myself heading for burnout, and I've pegged the washing out, put the next load on, weeded half the driveway, mended the washing line prop and deadheaded the climbing rose.

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

Thought I was going to end up practicing some taekwon-do for the first time in months when a batty old woman started swearing at staff & customers (including me) in the shit Asda earlier. 😂 Thankfully she didn't escalate beyond verbal abuse. Every cloud etc

I'm not sure this seller on eBay understands the basic tenet of capitalism.

The Dutch equivalent of Cass, (except it’s a proper scientific review not pseudoscientific drivel like Cass) has wholeheartedly endorsed puberty-blockers and full gender affirming care for young trans people.

Landmark Official Dutch Review Recommends Trans Youth Care, Call For Expanding Treatment

The review finds that wait times must be shortened, that few people detransition, and that trans youth care has enormous benefits.

Bought Age of Empires IV to play when I am off work next week, but it won't play because Windows Security is blocking the game exe. A Microsoft game blocked by Microsoft security tooling. Amusing.

Fab customer support from Runderwear today after I emailed about a hole in some newish running boxer shorts. Response within 25 minutes confirming it as a manufacturing defect, and a replacement on its way. 👌

Harry Potter fan who fell into a coma shortly after reading The Deathly Hallows wakes up in 2026

Just saw the daily fail headline at shit asda, "Burnham to send us back to the 1970s". I'd have thought that was right up their street tbh.

Just saw a comment on reddit about ConcernedApe's "atrocious" art style in Stardew Valley and it's taken all of my willpower not to write a 5000 word essay about pixel art in response.

There's nothing I love more to help my afternoon fly than the sound of my neighbour revving the shit out of his fucking bike on his driveway. 🥲

As a non football person, that was exhausting tbh 😭

It's the run club's summer social pub crawl this afternoon so I took one of those magic "no hangover" vitamin things to help my poor abused body. Turns out they must work by smelling so frickin' rancid that you immediately vomit and therefore don't go out at all 🤢

Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles. While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.

Not saying that a double yolker was auspicious, but I've just had an email to tell me I'm a finalist in the 2026 "Best Businesswoman in Business Services" category in the Best Business Women Awards, so... 🥳 (If good things come in threes, I could do with a lottery win or something, just saying...)

The hard-boiled egg I had with my soup at lunch today was a double yolker. Winning at life. 👌

Didn't stay up for the football, but I might as well have done because I saw every hour on the clock regardless last night 😴

Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

Old enough to recognize this as a data center

Just seen on a roundabout in Chelmsford.

Much more pleasant dog walking temperature this morning 👌

As a middle aged woman, I really feel like I'll have made it when I meet Jolene, Lorraine and Susan. Imagine being as legendary as those three 👌

Booked onto SearchNorwichXL whilst somewhat tipsy 👀 back in April because @markwilliamscook.com said there's an after party (there's a theme developing there) and just realised it's going to take me 5hrs to get there 😂 Might make it into a multi-dayer. What is there to do in Norwich?

This week I learned Photoshop can slut-shame. So I spent a video testing Adobe's moderation system, seeing what triggers it, and discovering that Photoshop may be judging my outfits harder than half the internet - youtu.be/sWcnBBrJ5cw
