Remember the hype a few years ago about paper bottles? Carlsberg, Absolut, Johnny Walker all made a fuss about them being the future.

Veggie moussaka - a Hello Fresh job. Not bad. Bit loose, structure wise, but flavours were good.

RTD cocktails are rarely that good, and never as good as freshly made. But this one is very decent indeed.

Just received a sample of this non-alcoholic aperitif.
It is legit delicious and also has a decent texture.
Do you know how rare that is?

Wine bods, this is what we’re drinking. Tastes OK (says me who’s on record as not really liking champagne).

Exercise: compression and expansion for richer writing.
Start with ~150 words of shitty writing (finally, something AI can reliably provide). Cut away the flab. Then build it back up with interiority to add an extra dimension to the passage.

Crunching some numbers:
I published 34,252 words in 2025 across my commissioned articles and newsletters.
These came from roughly half a million words in my notes, research, and drafts.
That's about 15 words written for every 1 word published.

First ever attempt at #linocut, just figuring out how it all works.
Forgot to reverse my 1, and didn’t have any paper to have so had to use the brown paper Amazon uses to pack out boxes.
Still, happy enough with that to begin with.

Out today on The Glass, I wrote about not knowing when you're having your last drink in a special place.
Ironically my parents sold the house I mention shortly after it was published and I never sat on that balcony again. Funny how these things go sometimes.
