@mattgreencomedy.com you’re in Slow Horses! The “is this security related?” line was *chef’s kiss* coming from you.

I guess it goes with the territory of the industry I work in, but god I’m sick of the hot LinkedIn takes from PRs explaining how the Coldplay concert provides a vital lesson in crisis comms

Congrats man! Hope it goes through!

Having thought the same about emails from colleagues, I’ve tested this in multiple LLMs and current versions literally can’t make grammatical mistakes, no matter how you word the prompt. Imagine a “fix” to feign humanity won’t be far off, though.

Me to 4-year-old: No that’s not right, you silly sausage.
4: You’re a silly chump

4-year-old: I want a hug with Yoshi and daddy!
Me: Great!
*hugs*
4: I love you, Yoshi
Me: What about daddy?
4: What about Yoshi?

So true about age here. Might be lovely to work from home when you’re older, wealthier, perhaps with a family you enjoy at home, and you’ve got a spare bedroom converted into an office. Younger with none of those things? The office looks okay!

"The Last of Us" Fan Preparing to Get Real Sexist Again for Season 2 CHICAGO — Local self-described “Naughty Dog” and fan of “The Last of Us” franchise, Jeff Braun, has been preparing to get real sexist again as…

Thanks for the bonus dose of anxiety, Ian

Pretty pleased with my first day as Alexander Armstrong’s PR advisor

Me to 4-year-old: Do you like the cat?
4: Yeah I like the cat
Me: Do you love the cat?
4: I love my Bowser Car

Man, I had the exact same thought about SSJ4 when it came up. Totally unearned bullshit in the name of “fan service”. Genuinely made me angry. And in the context of that interview, OOF.

Quite surprised by this. Lived in Chichester for three years, and while it’s quite nice, it’s not THAT nice.

It’s fucking great, enjoy

What a strange way to angle this story. So… four in five Brits aged 18-45 prefer elected leaders. Hardly groundbreaking news.

Maybe I’m getting worse at games, but I swear the latest Jedi game is super difficult, or at least the combat is poorly executed. Enemies are super fast and Kal is slow and blundering, with inputs feeling non-responsive. My to-do list was easier

Update: Sold for the asking price to a lovely gent who’s using it for light workhorse duties.

Naturally I’m going to psych myself up for getting started by playing a little Jedi: Survivor

Safe to say that unemployment is starting to drive me a little crazy

To be fair it’s not crappy, it’s a great car. Just too much hassle for me to maintain

Finally selling the old Land Rover. Put an ad on Facebook marketplace and that place is WILD. Just been absolutely inundated with messages. Impossible to keep up with all of them, SO much work just to get rid of a crappy old car

Every parent does this

Telling the boy we’re going to meet Santa today was a huge mistake. He was up at 5.30am, bursting with excitement, and has been bouncing off the walls driving himself (and everyone else in the house) stir crazy. Christmas give me strength

She should start out learning how to play her favourite songs - or at least basic versions of them. Keeps the motivation going, then you can get into the scales and “proper” training

Lord give me the strength to not sing “and I’ve brought lots of porn for copping” this holiday season

one of the worst things about being alive and online at the moment is that we're not meant to, say, call people thick or say they got conned and deserved it, and I think that the Hawk Tuah girl crypto scam is the end of that era for me, I *want* to call these people stupid and laugh at them

I hope hawk tuah girl pays her taxes on her $50m, puts them in a nice investment account and never feels the need to exist in public again

90s investment advice

Sure China's got great upside potential so long as you can live with the volatility

20s investment advice

We'd caution against putting >10% of your portfolio into the cock spit girl's make-believe money

The One from the Other by Philip Kerr

Fourth in the Bernie Gunther series, it’s another fabulously well researched and paced whodunnit. With larger moral questions than you’d expect from a simple detective novel, plus a frenetic writing style, make it unputdownable.
