If I didn't work for a publicly-listed European company, I'd be sorely tempted to go full clown mode on my LinkedIn account. What an absolute garbage fire of a platform.

The last decade is the story of how computers got boring. I discovered yesterday that my iPad is five years old (because the keyboard cover that fits it is discontinued, which is another story), and even as a lifelong power-user nerd, there’s no reason for me to want a newer one.

In other news: I'm fucking exhausted. Like, seriously exhausted. This has been a huge year on so many fronts. I'm struggling to make it through each day without some form of emotional dysregulation. Sounds like burnout. Looking forward to some time off.

I find the American cultural norm of using seasons as a time reference device so weird.
"Such and such is stepping down in spring" means absolutely nothing to anyone in the Southern Hemisphere without some mental gymnastics.

Absolutely amazing!
And now I'm also trying to figure out which production of Arcadia I saw around this time. I thought it was in London, but I'd already left by 1993. So maybe Sydney? Regardless, I loved it.
And next year I will see it in London!

This is what I love about social media. A story in a paper that you know doesn't add up, but you dont know how to work it out. So along comes Emma and explains it all for you. Yet again sterling work and much appreciated.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

I am old enough to remember when the unis forced everyone to return to the classrooms during covid, refused to allow anyone to take a gap year, and endangered us all because they wanted the rent money. But I guess they have a new scam now. Won't even need students soon!
