There's a big part of me that finds it heartening that when it comes to "work culture", it feels like pendulum has fully swung. I joined the workforce when grind culture was at its peak and often felt like I was losing my mind, now everyone is like "this is bullshit, it fucking sucks, I hate it"

Really don't want to go back to work tomorrow.
Did not end my year there in a good place, things have gotten very contentious between me and my manager, and they've said a few things that I don't think they meant to be hurtful, but were still hurtful

Anyway jumped over a big Dry January hurdle today: Zero alcohol drunk at an away day, although I had two teas and a coffee (it was very cold and I wanted something to hold on my hands) which made me feel like I was having a panic attack. The match didn't help lol

A regrettable afternoon all around, it's time like this that we find out what teams are made of. Lampard is surely hammering on King's door for reinforcements, and I hope they're coming sharpish #pusb

Keir Starmer explicitly backs Trump's attack on Venezuela.
Says he has "long supported" getting rid of Maduro, who is an "illegitimate President" and "we shed no tears about the end of his regime".

Promised myself I'd have a productive day of long-overdue housework, going to the tip and getting a haircut but... The Chrimbo Limbo mindset is so damned hard to tear myself from

For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok.
Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.

I for one say that all the best pet owners make up football chants for their pets.
For example
He's here
He's there
We're covered in his hair

God it made me uncomfortable when that AI makes people kiss app was going viral, this was the inevitable end point of this kind of technology and it needs to be stamped out
So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves

Dry January and my annual January Detox start tomorrow so Grace and I are getting hammered on whatever alcohol we have left from Christmas.
2025 has been a banger personally, but a fucker professionally. My mental health was torn to shreds over the summer then back with a vengeance in winter

Potentially my least favourite film ever made. I hate everything about it, and the 9/11 reference in the opening monologue should have seen Curtis in the fucking Hague

I don't know what the "Fabian Society" is, like I think of myself as fairly politically knowledgeable but I've genuinely never heard of it in my life. What makes it so important that their current Head's opinion of the leader of an opposition party merits headline space in The Guardian?
