Totally!
It’s so belligerent in its implementation.
Like, what the hell is this huge thing that looks like a disabled button in the middle of Finder, that repeats the current folder name?! 🤷
On the phone esp, the amount of white text on light-grey is terrible, wouldn’t pass accessibility testing.

Love this settings screen I just stumbled in to in the car.
“What setting is it on?”
“Well OFF was set to ON so I tried setting ON to ON.”

I do enjoy having a job that allows me to continue my efforts in creating nonsense.

PSA: Gentle reminder that the Director’s cut of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, is the only version to watch.

Baffling headlines.
The video from yesterday’s strike is horrific.
Who is going to be the first western nation to stand up and do anything about these atrocities? 😣

Everyone’s doing “AI” now.
But Argos have gone with a Dinosaur called Trevor.

The absolute monsters at Fiskar are out there cutting pizzas with scissors.
(But they do make exceedingly good scissors).

Channel 4 OD seem to have juggled up this thumbnail rather amusingly. 😂

Still chuckling at the reported descriptions of how The Orange One smells, from this weeks #hignfy.

First time I’ve had one of these. Phone fired off a rather OTT alert so definitely couldn’t miss it.
It did make me go outside in the pitch dark and make safe a trampoline. Hopefully better results than the last time I rescued it from a tree at midnight in the pissing rain.

What, like Mayonnaise, Jam and Baileys?

Taking a moment to look at how bbc.co.uk article thumbnails manage to make the entire area clickable (i.e: with the image), through a single anchor tag, nested within.
It’s really very smart, I’m stealing it.

You spend all that time and money on the stone walled driveway you’ve always wanted, and then all of 4 seconds skipping past the font selection dropdown on that online sign ordering website you used.

Engraved in stone forever, for all to see.
