In a bold move management has moved my partner and given me a new starter to work with, for xmas. Famously a quiet and chill period for postal workers.
Worked 2 hours past finish time today to get the day's work finished :( :(

People getting paid more than me and my disabled partner will earn in a decade are getting stressed about James Bond Continuity. I'll fix that for you for half that price.

I had never heard of Rosalia before and I do not speak a word of Spanish* but I'm not immune to hype and the Lux album is UNREAL
*maybe it's Portugese! My ignorance is without limit!

New Allie X album fucking incredible imo.
Girl With No Face maybe has higher highs, but this one is just solid from start to finish where GWNF has dips

Finished Superbloom by Nicholas Carr. Loved it as much as The Shallows and The Glass Cage.
A potted history of Communication Technologies and Mass Media, from the pen and paper to today, with particular focus on utopian thinkers, Cynics, legal frameworks, and Human Nature.

Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam.
Quite disappointing, tbh. A bit drab, and a pain in the arse to pose, ball joints pop out, bits clash, accessories fall off...
The build was fun though, and lots of white makes you really feel like you're "doing something" with the panel lining.

After 3 and a half years of sitting on my lap, 3 days ago Echo switched sides. No reason, no explanation. She just loves Anna more now. I'm genuinely grieving lol I hate it.

Wasn't particularly excited by the new Ashnikko album because I disliked one of the singles, and the whole aesthetic of the promo push turned me off, but it is actually really great. Would prefer one more like Weedkiller next, but Smoochies is a different beast and still fantastic, just less my vibe

I force down my daily ration of the Amazon Basics mealworm protein bar and try not to hear the screams of my neighbors in community internment block 13 as the AI droids make way for a new data center. "This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook" I type out one last time and press send.
