After reading less than a book a month last year I’ve just read two in two days. I mean that doesn’t necessarily suggest a trend but it’s a start.

I keep unintentionally wondering where Pickle is and then suddenly realising again that she’s dead. Maybe I should change my profile picture.

Best medieval elephant ever.

Every time I try to Lear a video editing program it refuses to let me do something that feels obviously useful, I get lost in menus and thousands of pages of instructions, lose the will to live and don’t touch it again for three years.

If only bluesky repeatedly crashed and had a fail platypus icon it would be the perfect recreation of twitter in 2008.

Kimchi isn’t anywhere as sociable as Pickle was but she does now sit in the giant basket. Still hisses at everything though.

Every time Israeli hostages are released we get photos and names. Every time Palestinian hostages are released they’re an unnamed imprecise number. Nice even coverage there.

I love it when I get an emails that starts ‘Dear *|firstname|*’

This has been such a strange week in politics. I hope it doesn’t continue like this.

I keep trying to like Apple Maps as an alternative to google but their cycling directions are just terrible in comparison. They seemingly only work in London and I wish I could combine a bike with public transport.

I had no idea everyone I know was so into David Lynch. I’m glad he made films and inspired so many people but honestly I didn’t really like any of them.

I’m not used to interacting with the tourist heavy parts of London and going through them today I remembered why I hate most of them; the roads are too wide and pavements too small. I wish they would just pedestrianise zone one entirely.

Finally deleted my twitter after not using it for a while now. Kind of wish I’d done it sooner, given how far it descended and how fast. I want to try and make the next year more positive then the last one.

I only managed to finish reading six books this year. I don’t know if my attention span is getting worse or I’m just horribly indecisive about deciding what to start reading.

A bright new dawning into a less stupid place.
