I truly believe itโ€™s a form of speech purposefully designed to infuriate you so that you get mad and they can say โ€œwhoa, hey, I thought we were just having an important conversationโ€.

I swear they all talk like this. Every artist who turns to that stuff. Itโ€™s all โ€œI see your pointโ€ and โ€œthis is an important conversationโ€ while they unashamedly keep using it and crowing about how great it is. Stomach turning.

The promise of social media was that we'd find out what people all over the world were thinking. Alas, in practice, we have found out what people all over the world are thinking.

Iโ€™ve noticed a move from Switch to PS5 in my house. They start to notice the difference in graphics it seems. A lot of my sonโ€™s friends are using PS5 more now.

Every time I'm away from my phone for the bones of a day, I'm less tense, calmer, and generally on a more even keel. Importantly, I will never learn from this

A comic showings cartoon man degrade into a bubble with eyes and a mouth saying that comic work no matter how well drawn they are.

Hi Enda, afraid not this year. Iโ€™d a few too many things on. I think the ones I did before were too big so I might do something more desk friendly for 2027.

I wouldnโ€™t stop going on about how cool my runners were apparently. They are usually gentlemen/jerks.

Remembering the time that my partner knocked over a bottle of very expensive face oil, panicked & then tried to scoop it up with her hands.
Subsequently, I was kicked awake to find her with both of her hands held out, palm up, like she was Padre Pio, asking me to take her make-up off for her.
