Don’t quite get people who live tweet F1 races … surely anyone who cares is either watching already or is going to be pissed about the spoilers.

I mean - I’d get it if it was commentary or colour but it’s just a statement of what’s happening: “Alice overtook Bob!” … gee, thanks!

The private plane owned by Vince Neil from Mötley Crüe ran into the private plane owned by Vince “Swingers / Dodgeball” Vaughn in Scottsdale, AZ killing one person and the writers of this season of “America” aren’t even trying to make things plausible anymore.

Around 8:30 last night I was on my phone looking for restaurant reservations for later in the week via Opentable when suddenly I got a notification “Coming up: reservation at [restaurant] at 9:00pm - it will take 15 minutes to get there”.

What?! Did I accidentally reserve dinner for tonight?

I had FSA money left over so I bought an Oura Ring at the end of the year and it’s great because now, at 3am when I can’t sleep, I can look at the app which will show data telling me that I have insomnia.
