Schlimmbesserung - an improvement that makes things worse. Hard not to love the German language.
As a parent of a 13 year old, who is one year into owning a device, the most dangerous/concerning thing has been other parents who have no idea what their children are up to.
Big win for Simon here 😂
Why do lawn bowls outfits look like you clean crime scenes for a living?
How do you like this sick burn you lying shits.
Ebay's product recommendations "we see you've been searching for a size 34 trouser, have you considered a 28?"
They spent 15 years demonising vaping, and still can’t actually prove any harm at all. Imagine how many fewer cigarette smokers there could have been. The prevailing orthodoxy of ‘patients as victims’ who need saving from themselves needs to stop.
I strongly suspect the MHRA has no idea how many people are on weight loss drugs, and that the adverse effects are a) minuscule b.) all related to them being too effective. Medical establishment is going to fight against it because it massively disrupts the status quo they’re invested in.
Indeed, see also Physician Associates. A lot of them appear to have no idea of the limits of their domain-specific expertise.
Starting to think it's opinion pieces from Doctors that need regulating.
Sir, I believe I was promised the roaring twenties.
What if I don't want to live in interesting times?
Ditched the apple watch, went analogue, really quite happy about it.
It's been 5 years since I started working remotely, give or take the occasional day with the team. But today was the first time I woke up and thought I would do anything to get on a train and go to an office. I think I'm over this...
Dear BBC, neutrality ≠ stopwatch journalism. Giving nonsense the same mic time as evidence isn’t balance you just give weight to the opinions of idiots
Someone really needs to make the Len Deighton 'Bernard Samson' books into films, once upon a time Tarantino had an option, man, that would have been good.
who's got the 10 1/2?
Got this book from a charity shop, safe to say the previous owners did not mess about.
Feeling seen with this one, 1 year since I stopped the old nicotine, after the pouch habit became too much. As a close friend described giving up alcohol, it's like life has had the volume turned down. Still punk as fuck though, obviously.
"Piper, nooooo"
2 days into healthy eating again. Why is bread so good? Already fantasising about flatbreads and hummus.
Came up with an app idea in the middle of the night, feels significant. Short on a technical founder though, not sure vibe coding will cut it on this one.
I've had way more rosé this week than the paltry amount of sun justified. Big bourgeois end-of-the-world summer mood
Dear UK Labour, the answer is Europe. You're welcome.
The joke is on you, stock market, I don't even have a pension.
Amazing large scale pump and dump, what a time to be alive.
21 degrees, sunny. Perfectly normal weather for the 4th April in the UK.
The last decade has been a wild ride 😆
Thinking about starting a newsletter, need some outward-facing accountability in my life. Something like 👉 Reboot Friday, as I'm starting from scratch looking at new business paths. Spending too much time alone and unaccountable.
