The temptation to send this to all the business idiots i have had the misfortune to work with over the years is only tempered by the sure knowledge they would fully agree it’s such a problem, with not a moment’s self-reflection: www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-t...

Another day another mentoring conversation of ‘are you burned out from The Work or is the person nominally managing you/your domain actually a big obstacle by way of being a complete berk?’

Fondly remembering the day I threw out a witty riposte in a Design Twitter debate that the ultimate illusion of choice was the tampon aisle in a supermarket, and at least a dozen different men took time out of their day to tell me that I had lowered the tone, brought up something disgusting etc

People are framing Figma’s “Sites” as just a misstep. Figma Sites is what we were building with Figma already: terrible interfaces, obsessed with visual approximation over utility or accessibility. Figma took our devign-to-dev handover bullshit and automated it. Figma Sites is a mirror.

I have started planning a new novel. I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. I’ve tried quitting. The whole process often makes me more frustrated than happy. And yet, I persist because the idea of not doing it is actually worse somehow.

This is the thing that gets me. I could just about see the argument if it was about pushing human endeavour etc. But in no way is it easier to solve those problems than the ones on Earth. And we already know how to solve them but it means less of everything, not more. And billionaires want more.

Look the review is fantastic, go watch it, BUT BUT BUT ALSO the OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE is M A J E S T I C. It made me yearn for Encarta 95’s dungeon quest.

The Green Party don’t get as much media coverage as Reform because the continuation of civilised human life on the planet isn’t as interesting as cunts.

There are a lot of bad takes from the election results. Pushing to go further right is one of them. If some ppl want far right, why would they vote Labour? It’s not who we are and we shouldn’t try to be. We can be the hope over the fear. Bold, optimistic ideas don’t belong to the far right /1

By now you've probably heard the news: Polygon has been sold to Valnet and I, along with most of my wonderful colleagues, have been laid off. That said, I'm now open to new opportunities! If you've enjoyed my work and would like to work together in any capacity, please feel to hit me up via my DMs!

I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas! New email: [email protected] www.polygon.com/23776996/bar...

Fuck Vox Media management for binning Polygon off to a shithole and making so many staff jobless on fucking May Day. I hope a bunch of them band together and go indie. I’d sub in a heartbeat.

Been outside and done things this morning like a purposeless walk and absorbing vitamin d while drinking tea. Have had several ideas for current project and feel generally a bit better. Absolutely furious this works.

UK, 2025: a country where police break into a place of worship and arrest those inside who are having a meeting and might be planning a non-violent action. The right to peaceful protest is an essential part of a healthy democracy. Governments who crack down on it are governments to be very wary of.
