I company is suggesting that I pay a fee for something that they are responsible for. I have the option of buying this item directly from the company or from Amazon; I will choose the latter.

I’ve bought flour from this company, and I got emails from them. The latest one had this photo. It makes it look like a Reform UK picnic. There’s cognitive dissonance between organic farming and people dressed like this.

I'm so tired of the esthetics of these AI generated images that small business are using. They all look the same, and the fakeness of them means that people see nothing when exposed to them. They just see images that look like all the other AI generated images.

Faith, by @thecure.com, is one of the greatest albums of all time.

It looks like the new Siri is as shitty as the old Siri. It should be able to read my calendar, reminders, and my contact information.

It's brassica season. All these lovely green vegetables are grown on the farm by me and sold in the tiny farm shop next to my house.

I can't listen because I'm in the West Midlands?

Every time I go across this train trestle, I get the heebie-jeebies. #TheLongDark.

My farmer neighbors will be pleased about this. They have been waiting for this for months.

I can understand people buying vinyl, I can even almost get cassettes, but reel-to-real? That's just performative.

I wonder what the third book of the trilogy is going to be. Robot War? AI War? Space War?

I wonder why when I searched for the book on Amazon UK, this book came up first as a sponsored result. Is he in the novel?

This example of enshittificaton isn't discussed enough. Every website, every company wants you to review your purchases, your support requests, your phone calls. What would be the points of reviewing the bananas I bought last week at my supermarket?

I find it quite disturbing that the estate of Jerry Garcia is selling this t-shirt. They sell dreck merch, but this is just wrong.

This is a bit rich. She's blaming the state for the faults of private health insurance. As if she was in a single-payer health care system... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to cool my bread outside. Finally the weather is almost normal for summer here.

This is the hottest we've had it near Stratford-upon-Avon this summer. I hope this is the peak, and that the rest of the forecast for the coming week is correct.

I see this, and I think, people who spend £3500 for a pair of speakers and set them up like this, so close together that there's little separation for stereo, only buy them because of how they look or how much they cost.

They're trying hard to get people into churches in the UK. Why not have happy hour? (This is a real thing in a village near me.)
