I go on holiday in 2.5 weeks, and with everything that has been going on I’m… not even looking forward to it?

Has anyone else noticed an increase in these types of ‘Oops - we made a mistake’ type emails?
Is it the fact that whoever is sending them just doesn’t bother to proofread? Or is it a marketing ploy to get people to open the emails if they get 2 instead of 1?

Sainsbury’s were having trouble with contactless yesterday. I had to try 5 times before it’d accept payment and not error out.
As I left the store the money fell back into my bank as a refund. I thought I was winning until… the money just came back out 😢 damn 😂

Contracts have been exchanged! There’s no going back now.
Am I relieved? Happy? I actually don’t know how I feel. I feel like I’ve got a rush of adrenaline pumping through my body and I’m like OH MY GOD WHAT NOW!

This quote from Jason Zada, the founder and Chief Creative Officer of Secret Level - the company behind the ad - is shocking and quite chilling, actually.
Effectively, you’re just another hater on the internet if you disagree. Worried for your career? Stop complaining and submit.

Unfortunately, we can’t get away from the fact that AI is here. It isn’t going anywhere. BUT it doesn’t mean we need to submit to it in this way.
For a multi-billion dollar company, the blasé attitude is interesting. I wonder how much they saved doing it with AI than with real creatives?

Coca-Cola Is Trying Another AI Holiday Ad. Executives Say This Time Is Different

I know comprehension isn’t everyone’s best trait, but it’s clear enough from this post that the ‘dislike’ button isn’t going to be a publicly viewable count. It’s not going to piss people off, it’s just going to allow you to control what you see less of in your timeline.
Threads on Bluesky should feel more like conversations you’d have IRL.

I only ever drink Skimmed milk, but I picked up some whole milk this weekend as I needed it for a recipe, and I’ve been having what’s left of it in my tea, and oh my god WHAT A TREAT.

Gave notice on my house today ready to move in a couple of weeks.
The landlord has sent me a price list for certain things if they deem they need replacing.
They’re charging ‘from £100’ if a toilet seat needs replacing. ONE HUNDRED GREAT BRITISH POUNDS 💀

You know when you need to get stuff done at work but you end up procrastinating and doing absolutely nothing because everything in life is so overwhelming and you’ve got so much to think about at the moment, to the point your brain just stops working?
Pretty much my Monday so far.

Looking around at different companies for car hire in South Africa next month and… what are those deposits about? Surely they’re not accurate.
I’m going to click through the process to see what my grand total would be.
