I was told that I could have any music I wanted in the office all day for my birthday. I chose Sun Ra and it's not a universally popular choice, for some reason.

Recent conversations with non SEO-familiar people can be summarised thus: yes AI searches aren’t reliable, but normal Google is so shitty anyway I’ll take that more convenient risk instead.

Spare me your 'this'll be great for the far-right actually' takes. It's the worst kind of liberal defeatism.

Took my foster daughter to the GPs today re possible allergy. She was seen by a Physician Associate (aka 'Pretend Doctor'). We weren't told she wasn't a doctor, but I spotted the title on her badge. She suggested that my foster daughter use Beconase spray – which is only suitable for adults. 🫣
