I spend the first 10-30 minutes of 99% of my work days trying to fix some stupid technical issue. I hate it here.

I will make an awesome thing and you will give me money for my awesome thing and it will ruin all its competitors and then I will make the thing exponentially worse while charging you more and you will have to pay because there is no longer a choice. Capitalism, baby.

So the F1 movie is just going to be Days Of Thunder Maverick, right?

It is Monday morning and I lack the will to dry off after showering.

Musical episodes are pure trash.

I just scroll through my Discover feed and passive-aggressively respond to things without using any of the tools provided by the platform to do so. My art is diminished by likes.

Also, a left-center alliance in America would be like eight people.

So...when the far right does well in France, their system is nothing like ours and it's meaningless, but when they lose it's a victory for us and bodes well for November? Is there a word for when you hold the same beliefs and ethics as a group of people but also think they're entirely disingenuous?

I once went to a Jamba Juice annual meeting. We were all seated in a hall and Moves Like Jagger started playing and balloons fell from the ceiling and two greying executives ran through the room high fiving people. That was a real thing that happened.

I remember when I used to loathe hearing "Get in there, Lewis!" Today I had a lump in my throat. What a race. What a season so far. #F1

Dr. Hubris frowned at his discover feed, then quietly added "BTS" to his list of muted words, mouthing a sad and silent goodbye to Behind The Scenes trivia, a necessary sacrifice for continuing peace of mind.

Updated my muted words and tags so I can post about things other than how angry every single mention of a certain publication makes me.

The Economist and NYT just racking up subscriptions and clicks off the back of constant posting of their content on a site that's allegedly largely against said content. Starting to feel like a conspiracy nut over here. And a broken record.

"What are those evil bastards over at that newspaper doing?" you scream, as it works on you over and over again because you're truly that dense.

Sharing and drawing attention to things makes them more powerful. Unsubscribing from and ignoring things takes away their power. Do I need to draw you a picture?

I am poised for the second brutal slaughtering of the Conservative Party at the polls in my lifetime. And while I'll enjoy it, let's not forget what happened after '97. Remember the Third Way? Hahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Saw this on reddit this morning. A child's ticket for Friday only is likely about as cheap as it got back in '92, but it's worth noting that while children under 11 get into this weekend's Friday session for free, general admission is £149. #F1

Also, Ruth Negga is phenomenal.

I love Presumed Innocent reframed as A Man Is Going On Trial For Murder And Everyone Involved Is Slowly Going Insane.

"The Bernie Bros and K-Hive appear to be forming an alliance," I say at the 4th of July cookout. An anvil falls out of the sky directly onto my person, killing me instantly. God appears through the clouds. "I did that," he says. Family and friends applaud politely.

People posting gotchas from 30 years ago on here as if the Supreme Court are going to (a) read a skeet, and (b) go "Oh, my bad. Didn't realize we were hypocritical and corrupt. We'll fix that right away." We know. They know. Stop being so naive.
