Went back to bed thinking I'd reached the "stay in bed all day" stage of unemployed depression. Turns out I just needed a nap.

What's better than buying yourself @jambookshopuk.bsky.social's spectacular new comic compendium Vintage? Having pledged for it and a print a while back and forgetting, like a present from past you, that's what! Go treat yourself, it'll be like finding The Beano annual in your Christmas stocking.

Half the jobs I get sent that "match my profile" are training AI to do more journalists out of a job. The rest I'm somehow both over- and underqualified for (too senior and haven't worked in this EXACT niche before)

I went to a talk on the history of witchcraft trials this evening. Did you know the last woman imprisoned under the Witchcraft Act was Helen Duncan in 1944? That's in my parents' lifetime!

It's criminal that they didn't ask him how he felt about ROBERT FLIPPIN' REDFORD playing him in the film adaptation of A Walk In The Woods
