I used to think speaking English was an advantage, but now I see how much American brain rot is pervading English speaking countries it’s just a massive liability.

You know there must be a massive arsehole epidemic when every call centre hold queue has a message asking you to treat their staff respectively.

Latest hobbies include audiophile stuff and good tea. Both are shockingly expensive (but worth it)

The year is 2025 and new cards added to the sprint in Jira -from the same page- still do not appear on the board without a hard refresh.

I was going to take the eldest to the F1 movie even though I knew the plot would be shit, but then I found out it degrades women too? What year is it again? Fuck that shit.

We went and Watched How to Train Your Dragon instead. Was excellent.

I like Stephanie’s style (and she’s completely correct).

Best movie ending/credits song combo? I can’t decide between these three:

Gary astutely concludes here that we’re in Squid Games and we need to work together (and not in-fight like they’ve set us up to do) to change the rules of the game and tax the rich. Pretty much a must watch imho.

Been snowboarding today for the first time in years. Onsen and sauna helped but every muscle in my body is sore now.

A “permission culture for cruelty” is not a phrase I’ve encountered before, but it describes what’s happening in the world perfectly.

Great article www.damemagazine.com/2025/01/02/a...
America’s Right-Wing Propaganda Problem Might Be Terminal | Dame Magazine
America’s descent into mass delusion isn’t happenstance. The demise of courageous journalism isn’t a happy accident. Its replacement with engagement-chasing infotainment and propaganda isn’t an error....

With all the bad things happening in the world you should double down on what’s good. Consume and experience it all. Get out of your comfort zone.

So fortunate I only need to really drive our car twice a year. Avoiding highways is good for your mental health and I’m not looking forward to it this holidays.

I saw the most amazing demo from Lu / @tldraw.com at YOW! yesterday that connected canvas and GenAI in such an incredible way.

GenAI demos like this had been getting boring but this was very impressive. Hopefully there will be a video soon as some of the stuff demoed isn’t released yet.

It seems trivial, but being able to run `bun thing.ts` has maybe killed the need for me to ever reach for Ruby again.
