they say you are over the hill bc as you approach middle age, you stand atop that hill, a great vantage point from which to survey the low-lying territory that is your elder years, and then against your better judgement you begin to walk down, a brave adventurer, into the onslaught you will not win

This is, and probably always will be, the best story ever told on social media:
For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....

This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

Trying to sell/buy our house at the moment, where everything needs to have happened yesterday and everybody wants in, but all you want to think about is your family's future happiness. This resonated with me.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe includes a calendar that goes all the way to the year 3000. Ironically, this reaches much further than typical modern computer and smartphone calendars. As such, even now Super Mario Bros. Deluxe remains a good option to keep track of far future dates.

Hope you are well.
Could we jump on a quick call to look on my works please? My diary is up to date.

Yesterday I was live coding on stage at the Theatre Royal in Portsmouth, to celebrate Portsmouth theatres and their links with the university. After a false start and some tech issues I made this in about 5 hours (should work on most devices): elneil.itch.io/halloween-at...

Even as a creative I'm not against AI as I can see the potential of it being "a tool rather than a replacement". But this post got me. I never considered it in the context of being gaslighter. Sometimes having to do our chores actually reinforces our sense of agency.

Why do people find it so strange to own multiples of the same clothing? Normalize wearing the same outfit every day without having to do laundry every day.
