Making a mockery of the whole institution. Alfred Fifa would be turning in his grave right now.
I don’t see how the World Cup can go ahead when FIFA’s peace prize recipient has attacked another country: hosting the competition in America would be a mockery of the solemn prize, making it an unserious joke.

Honestly? Eating the hot chocolate powder with a spoon straight from the packet like the weird little freak I am.
What would you be doing in your #TheTraitors clip when they show you in your hotel room? I'd be trying to make Super Noodles in the kettle.

A good read on building community and social relationships. It has been a shock realising how much of my father's life - social and otherwise - was entirely driven by my late mother and, more broadly, seeing how women often end up the de facto social secretary of heterosexual relationships.
How I rebooted my social life <— a slightly more personal essay than usual, for New Year. (Free to read.)

It's been brilliant seeing Martin's success this year with his blog, podcast and also now a book deal. Subscribe to his Substack and rummage through the archives to see what all the fuss is about.
Merry Yearmas! Last January I started a Substack with the goal of reaching 1,000 subscribers by the end of the year. Here's a quick thread of some of the pieces that helped me reach - and exceed by a considerable margin - that target:

They're talking Asian-made second hand phones, painting them gold and trying to sell them in the USA. This story is funny throughout. Honestly wonder if it's actually more than a grift but a piece of savage satire, loosely disguised into performance art.

Going through old family photos and i believe i have found the most 1990 picture ever. (It's me and my middle sister). This must have been Peak Bumbag.

Obviously this is dumb nonsense shit, but i would pay handsomely for a pair of AI scissors that appeared automatically when I'm walking around the room making that snipping motion because the Chap has yet again failed to return them to their rightful place after opening a parcel.
Also, this just in -> the latest bizarre AI fever dream is AI-controlled trivets, staplers, and coffee cups on wheels. So we'll be chased around by inanimate wheeled objects clamoring for our attention.

I think will see, over the next 12-24 months, “executives” who did not understand what LLMs are, or can do, backtracking on crucial business decisions due to rising costs.
