TikTok have auto set every single video of mine to ‘Allow AI to Remix Content’. The only way to remove this is to manually do it on every single video.
The idea of something I’ve made or my likeness being used in an Ad that a marketing company has ‘created’ using GenAI is dystopian as fuck.

Waiting in my least favourite place to be.
The dentist.
Number of gigs I go to now where people look and act like they’d rather be anywhere else.
Forever hope I’m never as bored in my life as the crowd at Coachella.
I reviewed this at the time which is how
long ago this was. 😅 A lifetime ago.
Survived another Hyrox class. 🫠

SO DESERVED. And Robyn getting her first ever top 10 album! What a week for new music.
It’s 100% not as bad as people make it out to be. It’s not as good as 2 remake but I also don’t think Nemesis was in the first place.
SOUND More naff Japanese 'tunes' (6/10)
Reading a 26-year-old review of Final Fantasy IX in a UK games mag and raging at this.
Met the pop icon of my life Robyn and think I came across as someone barely holding it together. (I was very overwhelmed)
It was the cheese that put me off. Cheese on a hot cross bun just sounds awful.

Electronica Tunes and Remix CDs of Final Fantasy music.
I have these two and they are WILD.
I need to have a listen. I wasn’t convinced by the concept 😅
One of my most lukewarm food takes is that Iced Finger Buns are an elite sweet food and have absolutely no right to be.
I’ve just eaten 3 of them…
Someone had listed seated tickets on twickets for £50. I just bought them and no one where it said VIP. Tickets came through and they said ‘early entry experience’ 😅
And bigger plot twist. They were VIP tickets and we got all of this merch with the tickets. Amazing night all round. 🙏
Update I snagged some for £50 each 👀
Have been back and forth on buying last minute tickets to see Gorillaz tonight but it’s £100 a ticket so feels like it’s not a wise ‘last minute’ decision.
Definitely didn’t cheat by just ‘visiting’ all of the central Manc shops. They weren’t really the point of today.
It’s going well so far*
*I’ve only been to two shops, it’s 1pm already and I’ve not had lunch yet.
Also I may just give up and have lots of coffee instead. 😅
Already failed by taking ages to get to to first one. 😅
Decided to do a thing today where I attempt to visit as many record shops in Manchester in one day but using only the tram to get between them all.
This is how I’ve chosen to spend my day off from work.
Sigrid is a main pop girl in my life. One of the best we have. 🙏
First nice day off of the year.

Casual Thursday in Liverpool. 👀
