a) why are British train timetables so stupid. b) how is it physically possible to run a train that slowly from Crewe to London

still not interested in the barbie movie unless I watch it on a plane or something but there probably is a double standard in how much discourse it caused vs all the other movies that are about products, of which it at least looked more imaginative. I also don’t care about Mike Mann’s Ferrari ad

normally I get fomo when people are sharing fun spotify visualisation stuff but happy to pass on the “spotify pie” thing. absolutely dogshit data viz to the extent that everyone puts the share button over the chart itself. I’ll just be over here listening to soooooo much neil young and shellac

this website may not be very good. but it sure beats whenever instagram inserts a “here’s what you’re missing on threads!” pane into my feed and it’s a collection of the worst takes you’ve ever seen all cut off with a readmore that I wouldn’t click with a gun to my head

As with when I got banned from Facebook the experience of quitting a social media just isn’t straightforwardly positive. There’s always a reason you were on there even if it sucked. I never wanted to delete twitter anyway but Elon really just made it that bad!

It’s not that I particularly want to go back to twitter but there is a whole category of pointless minutiae posting that I wish I could do and can’t here because I’d look addicted to posting

Anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish hate online stems from the same fringe, white supremacist communities who target both groups interchangeably, finds Hobbs, @nazita.bsky.social, Li & Lucas, suggesting we need to consider hate against both groups in tandem

realised while crate digging that the “rock & pop””indie & alternative” divide that covers like 70% of the stock in any given store is beyond meaningless to me. you can’t explain how those things are different!

somewhat traumatised by trying to order a regular coffee with cream at the counter in tim hortons. the second time you try to explain you want cream in the coffee not cream on top the cashier is ready to kill you

on a related note can kind of fully imagine that part of the rage and cope Ethel Cain prompts from tumblr terfs is that the Venn diagram of them and tumblr tradcaths is like a circle and they’re sooooo mad that she’s making like backwoods evangelical laity #aesthetic for the girlies now

to be fair I did go to see godflesh for my birthday but I am obsessed w/ the way apple doesn’t use the gimmicky microgenres spotify does so it’s always just recommending the music I like as “party” [higher bpm industrial metal] “unwind” [apocalyptic drone metal]

apple podcasts really loves to be like “hiiiiiii here’s a three year old episode I downloaded just for you 😇”. I think of it as the app equivalent to a cat bringing you a dead mouse as a gift

Gotta give it to our robot overlords that the limited edition coke flavour allegedly made by AI is the first one of these “editions” that I haven’t just thought I’d rather be drinking a regular diet coke. Tastes like drinking a handful of gummy bears
