Winter isn't much fun, is it? I like Autumn, but I'm not happy about this whole Winter thing.

Every day I see people posting enthusiastically online about films and musicians/groups that I don't like. I just scroll past and let people enjoy what they enjoy.

I do a few hours of writing out of the house every Sunday. Every Sunday morning I realise I've forgotten to plug my slightly knackered laptop in overnight, and it won't work plugged in. Then I remember that I can just use my Supernote as a little typing machine. Is it charged? No. I'm a professional

A couple of things before I post this 1) sorry if it's kind of depressing, 2) I hope it doesn't expose me as a psychopath or similar.
If you're having a hard time with something, does it make you feel better to learn that other people are also having a hard time with the same or similar things?

Woke up to the Covid enquiry basically saying that it was all no-ones fault and that everyone is misremembering it as being really bad, actually. Also, Trump casually throwing out death threats. Normal Friday in 2025.

Humans do it, monkeys do it, even polar bears do it. Now researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary origins of kissing.
The mouth-on-mouth kiss likely evolved >21 million years ago, in a common ancestor of humans & great apes.

First kiss dates back 21 million years, say scientists
