in a world where the answer to this for most business is "we hate our customers, and we believe they need us so badly we can show it, also there's AI now", this is such a relief that they've just gone "it should be better, we'll invest in improvements"

I still really miss Wilko. a little cheap shop that sold everything, on my doorstep, that I could take the dogs to? I just want a whiteboard and some post it notes. but now I'll have to go further, without the dogs, and pay more. I hate it

the purpose of shipping is to imagine things that are not in the show. shipping things that are canon is like... that's just watching it* *I know you can make fan works. I know. I do know. but I still think I make a good point.

a fun thing about being sober and autistic when everyone else is drunk is if you are hopelessly uncoordinated, don't really understand the social norms, repeat yourself and say inappropriate things... you are just suddenly the same as them and nobody notices you're weird, I love it

now that I walk my dog without a muzzle (she is not a restricted breed she just had some issues when she was younger) people don't ask before they pet her now. this is your reminder that you do not know strange dogs and I hate talking to humans too but. please just check in in case.

Death on Two Legs by Queen and Karma by Taylor Swift are essentially the same song and they're both incredible. more songs should be furious about someone stealing money from the artist

has any other duvet cover had anywhere near the impact of the Asda cat astronauts one? it's been ten years and I swear if I see a photo of someone's bed it's like 50% chance of castronauts (yes it's on my bed right now)

See me personally I think having a machine that I can instruct on computational tasks that it executes exactly as specified is amazing. Having it access databases on other machines is incredible. I don't need it to also expend resources to talk like a human and be wrong more often.

imagine telling the people who built the very first calculating machines that we kept improving their work so now it can tell lies but it's forgotten how to do maths

in honour of the person who asked if my hair was curly and then laughed when I said it was both natural and intentional, I have taken extra good care of it and added some curliness

you have to create and connect and enjoy other people's art. you can do it badly. you can sing to the Cheeky Girls and write "cunts" in a fancy script and make puns about balls. but you have to do it. or you go insane, you will be like a beaver that can't make dams

people who have been suicidal really hate capitalism because "we have to do this to stay alive" doesn't work on people who have already established that quality of life is a necessity for remaining alive. now we're better, we want better and what you're selling us is bullshit

two years ago I had to have therapy for my restricted eating (crisps, biscuits, sugary cereal, occasional takeaways). last week I ate 48 types of plants and this week I've eaten some that aren't on that list. I am pretty proud of myself, actually

the problem is, everyone sees everything as a Telling Off and instead of trying to like, make their own life good, they're just trying to avoid a telling off, and I think the "kids need discipline and nothing more" experiment has failed

a lot of perfectly okay businesses are being sold AI as a cost cutting measure and they're going to find themselves destroying customer trust and on the wrong side of the law just cos they were cheap and trusting

forget the gender binary, the real way and only way to divide humanity is believes you should always use headphones in public, and plays their phone speaker out loud where other people are
