Going through a two candidate election for the first time has made me understand how US and UK politics got the way it is. We need a dozen randos on a two foot ballot paper to stay normal #Áras2025

This has surprised me as much as hearing tonight that Tennessee Williams only died in 1983, meaning he was alive at the same time as Serena and Venus, the other tennisy Williams
a thing I have just discovered that feels utterly wrong is that Arthur Miller only died in 2005. he could have seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. he could have seen Donnie Darko!

Ah the dreaded pol comms question, is this in any way measurable
Is there any actual *measured effect* that the Newsom tweets are having? I keep hearing how they’re “working” but I have not heard exactly how. I read the Alabama one and the comments are saying how great it is but is there a result someone can point me to

I'm trying out Hardcore Mode on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which removes the map, has no fast travel, makes you too awkward to ask for directions, increases your tiredness and gives you a bad back. It's a real insight into how unplayable life in your 30s is

I'm currently playing a videogame where the main character is the oldest man alive. He's 32 years old.
I mean, there are narrative reasons for this, but it's not great for morale

With the AI-led deterioration of online services, has anyone else found themselves reverting to early 2000s internet habits? I've gone back to bookmarking reliable websites and visiting directly rather than wading through increasingly useless search results

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens
