Interestingly, they've defaulted to ALL CAPS, even though this is a new email chain separate from the bot I instructed to only contact me using all caps. Is it possible this is just a one-person operation and their AI personas are getting a bit muddled with confusing instructions?

Developments in Book Scamming: Got one that didn't contain a call to action or ask for money, was curious to see how long it'd take them to get there. Lightly insinuated they hadn't actually read the book. Well, that's me told!

Also, of course the celeb game’s more chill - they’re playing a fun silly game for money they don’t need because they’re already raking it in, and will be giving the prize to charity, not scrambling onto the property ladder or paying their brother back for medical bills.

If you can walk barefoot in the kitchen immediately after I’ve mopped the floor then I haven’t mopped it well enough.

When I sat down to watch this I accidentally hit the mousepad and skipped from 0:01 to the big reveal after he ceases the wee pod and just had to start the whole thing over knowing that, which was an odd way to experience it.

I believe that’s just working in a kebab shop, those things look like they weigh a ton.

My new gym has so many machines that look like they would tear you apart if you got into them the wrong way, but also no instructions, and also nobody uses them, and also I’m the oldest unfittest cunt there, I’m getting impostor syndrome in my own body.

We're gonna look back on this as the pinnacle of blockbuster CGI.

And then a month like this rolls around - I won't go into it but bloody hell, January, you better not be setting the pace for 2026 - and it's like, yes, actually, some restricted substance stimulants on prescription would be appreciated, please and thank you.

So like, chasing this for four fifths of a decade, including a period of time in which I had a wee menty-b, and then, immediately after the world temporarily imploded, and a period since then of disastrous sleep, I think, maybe I don't have ADHD? This *is* sustained effort, all things considered.

I *bought* the fucking thing thinking I was saving myself money on Adobe subscription, and then two months later they made it free, meaning I actually paid more than the Adobe subscription to have it for those months when it wasn't free. I was so mad.

I don't know if either of you have tried moving away from Adobe to Affinity, but if your work relies heavily on flowing tables across page breaks, don't bother. Maybe they've solved it for the new Canva partnership version, but the desktop app you have to manually split tables across breaks. AUGH.

I particularly enjoy the invention of real italics (the font has bespoke italics installed) and fake italics (word just ~invents~ a bit of a slant), and how when you apply paragraph styles retaining local formatting, only one of those carries through. Love that. What a great system.

Just the one between them, passing it around like the Fates in Disney's Hercules.
