It's hard to describe how alarming being partially faceblind is. I went to a work-adjacent networking event tonight where I recognised just one person I knew was going to be there. The rest emerged as if out of a fog as they introduced themselves, I read their name badges or they gave me context.

It's 22°C at night at the end of September. I've still got the summer-weight duvet on. World leaders should be all over this. Not least because I have some very cute knitwear I'd like to wear.

LinkedIn has introduced this, and not a day too soon. I swear only about 20% of posters are sharing actual thoughts from a human. It should be compulsory across all platforms.

The Substance was a lot of fun. Old school Cronenburg/Carpenter style body horror satire, ramping up the gore with "approximately 21,000 litres of theatrical blood." Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley totally nailed the brief. Also the most bare bums per minute you'll likely see in a regular film.

Props to the woman eating yellow-stickered ham straight out of the packet, rolled up and popped straight into her gob, on the train platform. Get your protein in early and cheap.

No, YOU just found a cereal bar at the back of a kitchen cupboard and realised too late the reason it tasted stale was because it went out of date in 2022...

Enshittification goes hand-in-hand with the celebritification of entertainment. There was a time when TV quizzes and competitions featured members of the public and the occasional celebrity episode was the Christmas exception rather than the norm.

In a particularly niche example of solidarity, at an industry event last week, a woman rushed up to me, pulled her blazer off one arm and showed me that she, too, has a gingko tattoo.
