Whenever I'm up late writing 40+ full reports, my intrusive thoughts immediately go to my masters thesis supervisor ghosting me for weeks only to reappear and comment "wahts [sic] this" on an argument I'd read three books to justify

This weekend I was stranded in central for a bit because I live on a main tube line and a bunch of stations were closed for overcrowding, so I had to get through the swarming masses, which rattled me. Elbowed at least one in the appendix. Were the lights worth it for them??

Overpaid for this because I got it into my head that I'd be the only person in a several hundred km radius that would be interested in it and it made me sad to think of it languishing on the shelf
So this is my child now

The Modest Mouse Float On Float is always my favorite. It’s so neat how they get that cop car to drive off after the collision.
I’m glad they don’t have Adrien Brody play the fake Jamaican anymore.

said to some girls in my form that I'll have vertigo for a week or two so it might be fun to observe how I'm leaning at jaunty angles to unobtrusively balance myself while teaching. They offered to make bingo cards. Fml

Work has this thing you must call in sick at 7:45am and confess your ailment crimes and so I agonised over it till the fateful hour where I rang up, stated my suffering to senior management, and she said a cheery "thank you!" and hung up on me. I laughed so hard I nearly puked

I've been keeping track of the games I finished this year with little drawings of the player character, but was stumped by what to do when the main character is "You". So, is me. Loved both of these, especially Roottrees which I swallowed in like 3 days like a 90s Nancy Drew mfer

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

A kid found this while we were researching game advertising and said very matter-of-factly "is that raiden and kano beating up children?" and I had to say equally matter-of-factly "hmm, looks it"
