Suddenly I’m 17 again (had to check!) playing this album on repeat #TOTP
What is with my laptop wanting to update every damn day. How many updates do you need??!!
You think Stack and Mary are visiting Sammie after watching CANDYMAN?
Jackie Daytona hive rise up.
The Tracey Emin exhibition at Tate Modern is emotional and visceral and, uncharacteristically for me, I almost fainted in one of the galleries lol.
museum curators describing literally any portrait of a woman: she boldly meets the viewer's eye, confronting our gaze
I still think about this a lot.

6. Top up his kids' private school fees.
7. Say "India is changing".

The thing with AI causing brain rot is that I know for a fact that I do not need AI for that. I can do it all by myself. I don’t need to kill the environment and enrich tech bros just to know I’m getting dumber by the minute. I can do it naturally.
This is literally our greatest soft power product
I annoyed him so much debating this technique he disconnected the call lol.
