I don’t know if it’s the most cursed headline, but that Rod Stewart AI video is one of the worst things I’ve seen in a long time.

I should probably consume about 80% less coffee in 2026 (currently has four partial, and three full bags of beans on the counter)

If you would like to have a more enjoyable 2026, I recommend mainlining Taskmaster. Spent a lot of time laughing uncontrollably this year. #tmyk

Being in the early part of my sixth decade, I am more than happy to not talk about work, at all.

I am being forced to use Powerpoint for the first time in forever. I have been swearing at it all morning. How do people use this on a regular basis?
