Ever get that feeling you are being watched…?

Actual exchange: Google, confidently: you researched estrogen therapy for #ProstateCancer and were instrumental in the PATCH trial. Me: Absolutely not true. G: Yes sorry, I made that up. Me: Well, don’t do that. G: I can’t help it. So yes, if you’re wondering: we’re screwed.

It is the year 2026, computing technologies are so advanced and ubiquitous that they use most of the power we generate and farming land we need, and yet @microsoft.com Word cannot cope if you select and try to open more than one file at a time.

Fun fact: if toothpaste, even so tiny a piece that it cannot be seen, flicks off one bristle and lands in your eye, it stings like anything. How’s your day going?

Before you get excited, web site hacker trying to harvest a signature I had to provide using my mouse in this Year of our Lord 2026 where we actually have secure technology designed and fit for the purpose of electronic signatures: this does not resemble my real signature at all.

Just said to someone, "Today's news is tomorrow's fish and chips wrapper" and then realised (a) that has not been literally true for years, and (b) most people will have no idea what I'm talking about (probably as per usual).

I bought some of these at the local supermarket yesterday but they didn’t have the annoying little identifier stickers on them. Checkout lady: Are these sassy apples? Me: Well to be fair I haven’t heard them say anything yet.

Oh Lord the piano is back… #GU26
