The BBC's Steve Rosenberg is an absolute legend. If only we had such challenging reporting and questioning about western politics from the BBC.

It's that time of year where I don't know whether your moustache is a charity thing or you think it looks good. And of course my own fluffy face falls into neither category. File it under laziness.

I just found the calculator button on my PC keyboard. I've been typing "calc" into search for years on this thing. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on my life.

My daughter gaslights AIs for fun on her phone because she understands they're not real. Many people in my LinkedIn feed are doing the opposite. They sought validation from ChatGPT and then posted up what it said about them. Thankfully our children understand this stuff more than us already.

Judging by my Facebook and Instagram feeds, I was the only person in Scotland who didn't see the Northern Lights last night.

Tiago has totally nailed 'understanding business' for designers.

I think if you really believe in democracy, there should be no place for political donations in it. It'll be interesting to see what happens in South Australia.

Random French tip: In order to remember how to say "I'm fed up with it" I link it in my head to being fed up of The Smiths. In particular J'en ai marre.

IKEA is often used as an example in Jobs To Be Done Theory. Can anyone find me evidence or confirm from their own knowledge if they consciously adopted JTBD? "Clayton said so" is not evidence BTW.

It seems like every moon is rare in some way these days. It's a strawberry daiquiri moon tonight or something tonight. Very rare. Looks just like every other moon, but is slightly different. P.S I made the Strawberry Daquiri bit up

I was called a snowflake on LinkedIn for making this statement. Yes, he was wearing a bow tie in his profile pic. Not sure why that is always the case.

I asked my AI how many Rs were in strawberry. It told me to go away until I could think of something original to write about.

As a UX practitioner in his late 40s, this is just wrong to me. Yeah it's totally ageist and all that, but those overlapping age categories are killing me! When I'm 55 I am either late career or decline. I can't be both. Which is it Indeed?

I was just pondering today about how Elon Musk is the modern day Henry Ford. They both made cars. They're both propped up by myths that make them out as being visionaries. They both incite racist violence and bigotry.

I see UserTesting has a new CEO. I barely knew who the previous one was, because as a user of the product, there's no reason why I should care. Yet they emailed all their users to tell them about the new CEO. That feels to me like a company that no longer lives in the same world as its users.

I guess I should post something.
