Costco is THE ONLY store doing the Nintendo Switch 2 launch correctly. Smooth as silk, plenty of stock, completely painless. Bravo Costco!

The Handmaid's Tale, both the book and the show, is a seminal piece of storytelling, and brilliantly (and bravely) held a mirror up to darkest elements of society. It was frustrating to sit through the series finale and think about nothing but Lord of the Rings -

Further proof that Apple is still the only streamer who understands that they have the infinite money glitch. Apple will give you 5 seasons of a show you’ve never heard of with a AAA cast and a 1/4 billion dollar budget. deadline.com/2025/05/the-...

As we pass the 70th anniversary of the muppets, and recognise their monumental cultural impact, I want to reiterate that I have a plan to save them. No, I’m not joking. Come with me if you want to live.

I feel absolutely no guilt about buying a Roomba. However, I do feel guilty about not helping him when he gets stuck “because he needs to figure things out for himself”.

God, I miss living in the UK sometimes. Complete madness, completely normalised. I love it.

... and that's how you train an AI model folks - you write it straight into the user agreement for a social media platform. Jokes aside, this is a near-perfect promotion of Anthropic's Claude as a better alternative to ChatGPT.

I’ll also gladly not write a Tomb Raider script for Amazon in exchange for a few million dollars. Just saying, I’m open.

Watched Neon Genesis Evangelion again, to see if my now matured brain can better appreciate the third act of the series. Nope, it’s still steaming hot garbage. It’s the pinnacle of fumbling a strong lead. Not sure if I’ve got the strength to watch the other attempts to stick the landing .

Every bit of this is gold. Imagine being so impenetrably thick, so unremmittingly entitled, so irredeemably soured, that you dress like a giant lemon meringue and go on record, in print, forever, to complain that migrating to avoid tax has triggered your debilitating terror of orecchiette broccoli.

“If my dad made me, how did I make that?” - This line from #adolescence is haunting. It’s a deeply layered reflection on the shifting nature of generational violence. As a dad, it made my chest ache. As a man, as a son, it made me see my dad very differently. He’s a good man. I hope I am too.

Got short piece I’m working on at the moment about the value in creating “moments” for higher ed students, but as an aside to that in the last 7 days I’ve also figured out the source of spontaneous human combustion AND how to save The Muppets. No joke. Happy to take questions on either topic.

Seoul cares about tree management, like, a lot. By European standards their work is artisanal. All trees are essentially bonsai from what I observed. Good job, Seoul.

I’m not lost on the Seoul metro, I’m “exploring”. I’m a free spirit, no longer constrained by concepts such as “sense of direction”.

If you suffered in life and want other people to suffer as you did because "you turned out fine," you did not in fact turn out fine.

I have no specific beef with Starmer’s government right now, but seriously, just get rid of Wes Streeting! He’s loathsome and his only achievement is how frequently he’s on the wrong side of history.
