My son and his friends refer to anything tragic as “AI” in this manner: “Did you hear? David and Lisa broke up?!” “No! Aw man, I thought they were great together. That’s AI.”

Goddamn it, I am a middle-aged man, I think perhaps I no longer have the reflexes to play a game such as Control: Resonant.

Today I saw a link to a TV show called "Our Great Yorkshire Life" and if you can say that title without also using the accent while hooking your thumbs into a pair of imaginary suspenders, you're a better person than I.

I have been using the same email address since the 1990’s and now I am planning to move away from it (because .com = American = no longer trustworthy) and oh man, it’s going to be a hilarious amount of work.

I’m not supposed to be drinking alcohol on my current meds, but there was a single cider in the fridge, and I thought “I’ll drink that, then it’s gone” and I can see why they advised not to, because now it feels like I have drunk, say, five or six large gin and tonics. And not even in a good way.

I am preparing to binge watch the new Ghost in the Shell anime. Slightly twitchy about this, actually, as watching the original movie was a load-bearing experience for a young JSR.

Apple mentioned “aperture” in their recent new stuff video, and popped this imagine as they did so, and my Neurons Activated like the Winter Soldier because I thought that Aperture the app was back.

In the middle of having a shower this morning, I think maybe my blood pressure crashed or something? Anyway, instead of going out to lunch, now I am lying very still. It’s fun getting to an age where you find out what old people meant by “taking one of my turns” or “having one of my spells.”

It’s wild how much shitty cars from my youth cost now just because they’re “classic.” I saw an ad for a Mark 1 Ford Escort. “Haha” I thought, “my mate Scott had one of those. Wonder what they cost?” They cost TENS OF THOUSANDS. Oh, you want a Vauxhall Viva? CHA-CHING! An Austin Allegro? GUESS WHAT.

I’m thinking about that time a few years back, when I didn’t buy an entry on a distributed ledger that associated me with a jpeg of a listless monkey, and I consequently Missed Out and was Left Behind.

I am convinced that the spots of orange fur on Maple the cat talk to her like Venom. Maple: “Ah, a sunbeam. So nice.” The Orange: “KNOCK SOME SHIT OFF JSR’S DESK.” Maple: “What?! Why would I…” The Orange: “RUN AROUND LIKE AN ASSHOLE.” Maple: “But this sunbeam…” The Orange: “BITE SOMEONE.”

My incredibly clever wife may have perfected restaurant quality Butter Chicken cooked at home. It's taken quite a few iterations, but I think she's cracked it. I am in awe of her skills in this matters (as I am at her skills in most matters.)

I just got around to watching The Mandalorian and Grogu movie. My thoughts on the movie and the emotional impact it had on me are as follows: That was, I think inarguably, a motion picture that was made and then released.

I occasionally see random men with Peaky Blinders hairdos and dude, Cillian Murphy gets away with that cut because his face is all cheekbones and he has dedicated makeup, lighting, and camera teams who make him look even better. You, Kyle, have a YouTube channel about online poker and no girlfriend.

A new season of Ted Lasso is out. I haven't seen it yet, but it's mere presence reminds me of how dirty they did the character of Keeley in the last season, and how annoyed I was about it.

Sounds like the fans in my gaming PC have some bearing issues. Given that fans are cheap, and (thanks to LLM bollocks) every major part of my gaming rig that is anything other than a fan now costs the same as a used car, perhaps I should just pre-emptively replace all the fans.

People ask what excites me and it's hard to say a mixture of Nancy Downs smiling after saying "We are the weirdos, mister.", Paz Lenchantin putting her hair up in the music video for "Judith", and that scene in Alien where Sigourney Weaver is getting into a spacesuit, so I just tell them "Redheads."
