Only upside of when @nexustheduck has to go on a trip somewhere without me is I get to use his in-car text to speech that reads out his messages to pretend to be the car like he's in Night Rider. I like to think this is what normal marriage is.

Sainsbury's claims that I can use their AI search to shop how I think and yet my thoughts remain unanswered...

Screenshot from the Sainsburys website using their new AI search functionality. The search bar prompt reads "Why is everything expensive?" and the result says "Whoops, we're still in Beta. We're still learning and sometimes that means we can't return results for your request just yet. Try some of the prompts below."

Can we go back to the days when politicians said that they really wanted to help people but it’s very hard and takes time, rather than saying that they want to hurt people and can do it quickly?

Stress of tradesmen in the house is amazing. I'm anxious before they arrive about whether they'll show up and then immediately anxious once they arrive about how long until they leave. Wonder what not living in a constant state of fight or flight feels like, guess I'll never know.

Noticed that the Katabasis hardback is cheaper on Amazon than the Kindle edition. I’ve heard all sorts of justifications over the years for why ebooks shouldn’t be priced cheaper than print but I’ve yet to hear one for why an ebook should cost *more* than its physical counterpart 🤔

Without proper nuance, "self-care" rhetoric shifts blame for systemic problems onto individual people. You can't meditate your way out of medical debt. Positive thinking won't raise the minimum wage. Sometimes the most caring thing you can do is get angry at the right systems.

For reference medical professionals, if you are explaining a medical procedure to the patient that they may or may not need in the future, it is not particularly helpful to describe it saying “it might be painful, it might not”. That also describes literally every human experience.

People need to believe there’s a robust safety net for people with disabilities for the same reason they need to believe they will never become disabled… they’re scared. They can’t face the reality of how quickly you can lose your health, and how little support is there when you do.
