Can't believe I'm still listening to people commenting excitedly about the brighter evening tonight. Yes, the clocks have gone forward by an hour. Just like they do every 7th year. It happened in March 2019 and it'll happen again in March 2033. How do people still not understand this??

The Manchester derby marks the most wholesome day in the Premier League season. These two cross-city rivals will both try their best to win but whoever loses, they're equally happy at seeing their lovable neighbours get the 3 points instead. "Yay for Manchester!" they'll say 💙❤️

are you wearing your new socks so Jólakötturinn doesn't eat you
The evil Christmas cat (Jólakötturinn in Icelandic) is the pet of the troll witch Grýla. She is used to threaten naughty children, because she loves to eat them. Grýla's sons are the Jólasveinar, the thirteen Icelandic Santa Clauses, dwarves who originally did not bring gifts, but stole things or played pranks. They are on the move between December 12 and January 6.

The day of the Jólakötturinn is December 24. This is when the hungry Christmas cat roams around to steal and eat naughty, lazy children. Only those who wear new clothes, especially new socks, on Christmas Eve are spared.

New clothes were a sign that someone had not been lazy, but had spun all the wool from the sheep before winter and made it into clothing. This was important for surviving the cold winters on the inhospitable island. The story of Jólakötturinn should therefore be understood as an invitation to be diligent and to prepare for winter in good time.

I've always wanted to be a travel writer but I don't really need the hassle of travelling to different places. Luckily I've found that travelling isn't even necessary for this job. I can review everywhere without leaving the house. Here's my review of Italy
Michael's Non-Travelling Travel Guide to Italy

Italy is one of several places in the world. It is located in Europe, thus making it easily accessible from nearby places in Europe. Italy is best known for having four consonants in its name and only one vowel; an impressive 80:20 consonant/vowel ratio. This makes it different to Spain, which has two vowels and Mozambique, which has more than two. 

The first thing that strikes you about Italy is its shape. Daring to be different from other countries, Italy has chosen to contort itself into a shape reminiscent of a long boot. This makes it the ideal destination for visitors who enjoy countries that are longer than they are wide.  

In contrast to places like Atlantis and the Mariana Trench, plenty of Italy is comprised of dry land. This makes it a very inviting tourist destination for people who do not have the ability to breathe underwater.

The one downside to Italy is the only place to visit in the entire country is Rome. We know this because no other places are mentioned on the map. 

In conclusion, I have enjoyed the time I've spent reviewing Italy and have no hesitation in awarding it a rating of 529.

Okay, I know you guys have a lot of questions at the moment about Deepseek and AI in general so thought I'd jump on here and do a quick Q&A. Hopefully this clarifies some things
DeepSeek A.I. - Your Questions Answered

Q: Why is everyone talking about DeepSeek AI?
A: I don't know. I didn't have time to do any research before I started this Q&A.

Q: What effect will DeepSeek have on other AI companies like OpenAI?
A: Very hard to say.

Q: Is DeepSeek more efficient than ChatGPT?
A: I think I might have heard of that but I don't know what it is. I'm now slightly worried I'm not as prepared for answering questions on this topic as I thought I was.

Q: Who makes DeepSeek?
A: No idea. It's not me, though.

Q: Does this bring us closer to AGI?
A: I don't know what this is so I'm going to ask my dad. Hang on.

Okay, just asked my dad and he doesn't know what that is either. Sorry.

Q: What are the next developments we can expect to see in AI?
A: Not sure but my bet is we can probably expect some things at some point.
