The other day, my sister‘s partner asked me what day Christmas was. I laughed at him.
But then he asked if Christmas Eve or Christmas Day is really the holiday, and don’t different cultures celebrate it differently, and isn’t it also celebrated in January?
And you know what

Xmas food update: made these caramelly mini nut pies (and some mini mince pies). I think they might be the best things I've ever made. Hazelnut, macadamia, and pistachio, in a brown sugar base.

I have made aggressively 'non-xmas' food for dinner for the last few days (tofu katsu and kimchi fried rice), so I can fully appreciate the beige-fest about to ensue.

It's a lot colder today than it's been in ages. Do not fail to upgrade to a warmer jumper when you go out. It will end in tears.

'Rewilding' presented as merely another investment opportunity.
Capitalism is like a highly corrosive acid, relentlessly seeking to corrupt and neutralise everything that offers ways out of the dead end nightmare IT is creating.

What on earth made me think that going to Waitrose when it opened on the 23rd was a good idea? I only needed to pick up a small thing - hadn't even had a coffee yet...decided to panic buy the remaining bits on the list, was laughingly informed they sold the last jar of mincemeat 'days ago'... 😳

I feel it's somewhat unfair of DPD to declare an item undeliverable when I wasn't up at 7.05 am on the 22nd of December to answer the door in the 5 seconds they waited.

The most savage insult from New Zealand (in my opinion) was a put-down from a 1949 parliamentary session, where one member said of another that “his brains could revolve inside a peanut shell for a thousand years without touching the sides.”

Stupid trends in hardware self correct after a generation or two, but *software* ratchets in the direction of unusable because designers are occupied with interaction patterns and not whether the fucking thing works properly.

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago
