Today in, 'who the hell designed this hotel room'
We have a sink and bath in the open middle of the room, right next to the bed, and separate tiny rooms for the toilet and shower. And a bargain of £243 a night...!

People say London is dangerous, unfriendly, etc
But everyone who lives here knows the worst part is that moment you realise your headphones didn't charge and now you have to go on public transport and hear what's going on around you.
Can't wait to be screamed at by the Victoria line

I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago
Someone found an mp3 of the creepy "Jailbait" song Olivia Nuzzi released when she was 16 🫣

And not just the US. Famously in 2001 the Daily Mirror in the UK published pictures and comments breathlessly describing the figure of Charlotte Church, then 15 years old. It's genuinely shocking to think how recently this stuff was accepted in mass media, let alone elsewhere.

As a woman, I have been groped multiple times while trying to get served at a bar when you're all squished together in a way that likely wouldn't happen in a queue where it's more visible. For that reason alone I'm pro queue.
A lot of people (men) across my social media feeds (even LinkedIn) are disproportionately annoyed about that article in the Guardian about people standing in single-file queues at bars saying THIS WILL NOT STAND, but um.... it seems quite good?

Interesting, in the real world, actual violent crime dropped in London during that time.
Wowsers look at what happened to posts on Twitter/X about London crime after monetisation of posts was introduced…

I get really angry about celebs/influencers/anyone lying about having botox, fillers etc.
I am very open about having botox for medical reasons, but if it was for cosmetic reasons I'd also be honest because I don't want people to think having a completely smooth forehead is normal. It's not.

Very very sad to see Catherine O'Hara has passed away. I can't imagine anyone else as Moira Rose, she was just perfection.
I will never fold anything without thinking of her.
May her memory be a blessing
