Remember all those hipster “insect protein" startups that promised we’d soon all be eating bugs? I can’t imagine where they have gone. [Autosave is for Wimps] featuring High Fade. autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/a-funny-me...
Ah, the Italian national anthem has started. Just enough time to nip to the loo, send some emails, bake a cake...
My system developer colleague wants his [sigh] AI-enabled translation app to interpret everything he says into its non-English audio equivalent in almost real-time. If only there was someone at hand who had the slightest knowledge of computers, eh?

I can't read Korean but a translation app tells me this email is about: “Strategic marketing training and system development through integrated marketing services encompassing advertising, marketing, and operations.” Nope, still no idea. autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/put-an-end...

Sorry, Ray Ban, they look nothing like classic Wayfarers; or more precisely they only look a bit like Wayfarers might have done if they’d been designed by a six-year-old with a box of fat wax crayons. autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/up-the-rev...
I have discovered a brilliant Italian bistro nearby: Doppio Malto. The food is burger/pizza/pasta but the desserts are generous and the beer selection is astounding. You can even order four or 12 (yes, 12) taster glasses. www.doppiomalto.com/fr/restauran...
Yet not a peep about reimbursing freelances. @nujofficial.bsky.social @nujparis.bsky.social @nujlfb.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...
'Regularmaxxing' was invented by Gen Z. It never existed before. If only previous generations had thought of it, eh? autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/go-off-gri...

We ditched the cheap Wide-Cut shredder for one that sliced documents into thinner strips. Then, over the years, we repeatedly upgraded: from Cross Cut to Extra Cross Cut and then Extreme Cross Cut. We’re currently on Absolutely Bloody Livid Cut. autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/can-they-i...

To be fair, the NBA's map of France does include most of it.
I cannot imagine social media chat platforms attracting anybody blessed with powers of reasoning beyond that of an amoeba. And yet soon the only people allowed to use chat apps will be those old enough not to want to use them. autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/they-wont-...

Watching Moltbook: I think I now know what it was like to be a Victorian gent ambling about London Zoo, making grandiose observations about the wonders of the animal kingdom while poking the specimens with my walking stick. [Con in 60 Seconds] autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/lets-have-...
I have just heard from Michael Bloomberg himself! He contacted me from his Chilean 'dysentery@' email address to say he's giving me 1 million euros, awaits my response and signs off with "God Bless You". [Autosave is for Wimps] autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/me-give-14...

Apps that ask if you are still alive are all the rage. And now my team-leader has got in on the act, sending notifications to check whether or not we’ve dropped dead at our desks or just having “a slow day”. [Con in 60 Seconds] autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/my-new-bos...
Et apparemment je viens de manger la dernière tranche de galette des rois. Il y a un ancien journaliste (maintenant dans la com, bien sûr) qui s'énerve parce qu'il croyait que c'était à lui. Qu'il mange les sandwichs aux viandes et poissons que je laisse.
It didn't so I did. Now analysing the apéro nibbles for something végé. If they put beetroot in it, it's probably going to be safe, right? @nujparis.bsky.social

Yes there was beer tasting. I strongly recommend Crossroads, their white "stout" and their Velvet Utopia New England IPA.
Currently on a brewery guided tour at Somi Beer in Montpellier. Hoping there will be a tasting later as this glass of barley doesn't seem ready. www.somi.beer
I imagine Liz Truss would be funnier as she is completely lacking in self-awareness. Sarkozy, by contrast, knows that he is a crook and will do or say anything to save his skin. One of the crimes for which he is being pursued is subverting a prosecution witness with promises of money.
One or two of these are still available in French bookshops if you're a moron. When I say "one or two", I'm referring to the number of warehouses stuffed with unsold lies.
These Avatar films are a "homage" (French for "ripoff") to other people's books and films.
