any content recommendation algorithm which doesn’t have a state saying “that’s it pal, no more stuff to show you for now that would be good for you” should be treated as an antagonist

do not underestimate leather boots that have not yet been broken in. ouch

hanging out is not an activity, it’s a social context

Language things I will take with me from living in Scotland for the past 7 years: ‘aye’, ‘wee’, ‘yous’, and a generous use of ‘pal’

Polish family observation: there’s an immense reverence of the IDEA OF authority, but nobody ever allows themselves to defer to any authority. Most of the convo that isn’t recalling old time stories is confidently incorrectly explaining to each other why the other person is wrong

Polish family observation: fascinating how none of the ppl drinking vodka here atm actually want to or enjoy drinking it. but they feel like it’s something that just must be done because that’s how men are supposed to be on gatherings

I just found out that as a child my grandma would put her bare feet in fresh cow poo to warm them up when shepherding them. I think I underestimated just how bad things were back then

Imagine the most Hollywood-stereotypical “proper, homemade food” obsession of an Italian grandma. This is my entire family, but Polish. Let me take you on a tour of our traditional Christmas Eve dishes! 🧵

how to survive the relentless of a parental home for xmas? at any given point and place I can hear a TV being on, someone is having a phone convo, or arguing about how to cook/setup decorations + any time I step away to take a breather they ask what I'm doing and why

So many folk who seem 16-25 years old at this classical concert. There’s hope yet!

how to reverse a culture of socialising only as a planned activity? this is such a recent thing and we are not built for this. I get why being in control over your time feels good but it's like sugar - it used to be a luxury to indulge in but now that we gorge it's killing us

Is your city “liveable” | do you think it will remain/become liveable as the time goes on? (Please adjust to mean ‘for an average professional’ rather than ‘for my fabulous tech salary’ if applicable)

all I want for Christmas is for Bluesky to finally add the poll posting function

Night Tracks on BBC3 is such a good programme

recycling is hard

Excuse me bro, do you happen to have the time?” - there’s something super endearing about some of the gym youths here mix British formality with ‘bro’

I get what German is trying to do with compound nouns but having no spaces between their constituents makes it just so much harder to parse them

note to self - going on a long walk without my phone feels vastly superior to going with, even if I’m not gonna use it

I wish there was a way to make iOS autocorrect chill a little
