The use of AI in restaurants is... weird. There's a place near me that has AI menus, AI art on the wall, and used AI to generate a photo of the front of their restaurant. Instead of taking a photo of the front of their restaurant. Creative fields are dying. Creativity itself is on the ropes.

I'll be honest, lads, I'm absolutely furious. I thought I'd left behind football affecting my mental health like this, but it appears not.

Pereira? So our answer to being unable to beat the worst team in the league (and possibly the league's history) is to hire the man who put them there? Brilliant. #nffc

Does anyone know how I tell Spotify that I'm not interested in the podcasts of people who are fairly regularly on those panel comedy TV shows? I feel like if I can get that message across then it'll remove 80% of the incorrect recommendations for me.

'We've got company' as a way to alert others to the presence of enemies has never really been improved on, has it?
Absolutely timeless bit of dialogue, 10/10.

You must monetise your hobbies, therefore you must use technology to replace your hobbies, the better to monetise them.
A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

Edu out. We should not have started this season with a second string made of fluff and teenagers. This multi-club structure with some useless name overseeing the lot is Executive Chef levels of poncery, and we should have done better. #nffc

I'm beginning to wonder if the Conservatives weren't the problem all along. We live in a bubble of falsehoods, a country of spin and nonsense. This is the failing of democracy - it appeals to the idiots, who couldn't care less. Burn the whole thing to the ground and let's start again.
Labour MPs & party insiders tell me they’ve never seen Keir Starmer so angry as over Mandelson’s lies about Epstein links.
But those who know him well say that anger has now turned inwards. That Starmer is, above all else, a man of public service, and will be grappling with his conscious this w/e.

Alan Moore was giving a talk at a bar I worked at. Afterwards he came out before the crowd did, came up to me on the bar and said "do you know where near here I can sneak off for a pint and avoid all this lot?"
One of my academic colleagues looks a bit like Bob Mortimer. One time near our labs I saw him walking towards me and I warmly said Hey Kevin. It was Bob Mortimer.

Fun low level anecdote: I once sat near Peter Mandelson in a theatre but I had a name blank and said rather too loudly ‘ooh look it’s Michael Portillo!’
He was visibly unamused.

It's cool how the rich have all just been raping kids all this time though, and here's me thinking they were just lounging about making trickle-down economics happen

Just had to use 4 separate search attempts to find the meaning of a word because Google was insistent I didn't know what I meant. The internet is no longer for us.

I read 63 books during 2025. It's not surprising to me that 4 out of the top 10 were written by Barbara Kingsolver. What a voice. She handles poverty so calmly and with real compassion. Fully realised characters. I cannot recommend her enough - these are the 4, start anywhere.

Absolutely hate wanting a City win, but if everything goes right today we can finish the day joint 14th and 8 points clear of relegation. Sometimes you have to get into bed with bastards. #nffc
