Welcome to the latest in the seemingly-infinite procession of grey Saturdays - add some linky colour to this otherwise steel-skied day with Web Curios. Or don't, it's not like I'll ever know what you do. I'm not watching. Honest. webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-21...

There are many dark elements to this, but I think my 'favourite' is the way it's been marketed pre-launch as a lifestyle flex to influencers: www.instagram.com/samogborn/re...

Don't mean to be Cassandra-ish about this stuff, but this example neatly points out why the LLMification of much of life feels inevitable - because, in the main, no fucker really *cares*, and the money wants what the money wants (margin)

Charity shop I went in yesterday had 3 copies of Russell Brand’s Revolution, why I am no longer talking to white people about race, Norman Baker’s autobiography, Fully Automated Luxury Communism and 12 Rules for life which makes it an immaculate discourse time capsule for years 2010-20

I am on a train to Essex to watch non-league football, something that seemed a far better idea when I agreed to it last month than it does right now.

This, via @paulsq.bsky.social, might be the apogee of local newspaper journalism. This is DEFINITELY aimed at people who want to avoid the dogging hotspots, yes indeed: www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2416329...

Friday! Lunchtime! My Valentine's gift to each and every one of you. DON'T THROW IT BACK IN MY FACE AND MAKE ME CRY. This week's Web Curios is particularly well-steeped in love, but you can wipe it clean if you must. CLICK ALL THE LINKS! webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-14...
