This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

So I’m sitting here with a buzz and a ringing in my ears, the TV turned up loud, and a selection of comfort foods. Fuck this.

I’ve taken steroids and antibiotics (and a delightful dose of thrush which came along with those) and they improve symptoms for a few days but then they come back with a vengeance.

But while I wait for further treatment I’m living with almost torturous symptoms and there’s not much else I can do but wait. If anyone knows any short-term remedy for reliving ear pressure then please shout (and you actually will need to shout).

Since I got back from holiday last month I’ve had a persistent ear infection that’s causing a lot of discomfort, not to mention very loud tinnitus. The GP has done what they can, and I’m fortunate to have seen an ENT doctor who has identified nasal polyps (almost certainly linked to the problem).

My daughter is out on Thursdays until 9pm so I’m on strict #Traitors curfew until she’s back and we watch on catch up.

I just had my text read out on 5 Live Drive. This means I’m famous now.

Looks like police have found the body of that little boy, Noah. How unbelievably sad.

Leeds are playing really well.

Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I wasn’t rooting for Leeds to win this but now I hope they score again and push Newcastle below us in the table.

Ah thanks. Still fond of that lad.

Nice assist from Morato in that West Ham goal. Happy for him. Also I missed that Joe Worrall moved to Wrexham. Thought he was at Burnley? #nffc

My family name is Henry but it’s these great-grandparents who chose name that in place of their original surname of Nargelkop, sometime after they moved to London from Warsaw at the turn of the 20th century. I have them to thank for that.

Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I never felt close my Jewish family but since building my family tree on Ancestry and discovering that my great-grandparents were Hyman and Fanny I can’t think about much else.

Drowning in the sea would be fitting except the RNLI would come to save them.

Like many of you, I remember 9/11 as it happened. I was at work where we had a lot of TVs all tuned to the news, and our new boss was based in NYC so there was extra worry. We know so much about that day now but at the time it was just all so confusing and surreal.

Disappointing not to get 3 points today. The kids and I are going to the Coventry game in 2 weeks’ time so that’ll surely bring the team a much needed boost and a win at home for the first time in ages. #coyr #nffc

Not sure if it was justified doing a 20 minute goodbye but it was nice anyway.

One of my mum’s oldest friends died recently. Sadly mum’s dementia has caused so much confusion she’s seemingly indifferent which is really hard to witness. Mum isn’t really mum anymore.. she’s become a bitter, resentful person and I’m at a bit of a loss about how to deal with that.

To cheer ourselves up about being home from holiday we’ve watched Hamnet. That did the trick.

Jolene is so deeply rooted in my mind today. What a brilliant song. The guitar lick is a thing of beauty and those harmonies are sublime. I feel more sad about Dolly today - just thinking about what a decent human being she was in a world full of egotists.

Simon @simon3862.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Quite. A few goals would be nice, too.

Yes we went to Taormina last week. Visited the Greek theatre and then a bit of White Lotus location spotting. It’s so bloody hot I’m surprised I’m not crispy 😀

We did have Radio 4 on in the car the way home and listened to the 6pm news, just a minute and even a bit of the archers. You can take the lad out of England but…
