Little 'walk to work story'.
Yesterday, as I was walking down Jermyn Street to the staff door at work, there was a completely random cucumber, still wrapped, just lying on the pavement.

A man told me yesterday that it was important to "take emotion out of the equation“ when analysing the situation in the US, at which point I told him very calmly that "a woman who disagrees with you is not necessarily emotional".
Ladies, it was a breakthrough.
I should have done this years ago.

1) Just because I'm anti-generative AI, does not make me pessimistic about technology in general.
2) Guess who's earned themselves a block?

My son went eighteen months without a job.
Sent over two thousand applications.
Most didn't reply (or possibly even exist).
Some turned him down before he'd even pressed the button.
He got ONE interview.
It was utterly soul-destroying.
And we wonder why our youth have a depression problem 🤦♀️
