Social media is fucking us all up. I’d love to go back to the days of forums, where there was no popularity contests, or “influencers”.

I wrote a thing about #Threads joining the #Fediverse and all the blocking that's ensued as a result.

An American friend of mine thinks beans on toast is disgusting. So to all none Brits (as we find it delicious)…is it disgusting to you?

Side note - I find it astonishing that someone from the country that invented “cheese in a can” can find this “dish” disgusting. 😂

This took a VERY long time, but I finally finished putting together my entire watch collection on my site.

Whenever I, or someone else, posts a link to this blog on Mastodon, it DDoS's me and brings the site down for a couple minutes.

I recently turned 39 and I’m vowing to NOT be a fat boy by the time I turn 40.

Hey website owners, like @itsfoss, please stop doing this shit. I’m willing to bet not a single person has ever thought “you know what, imma disable my ad blocker because this really fucking annoying popup has made me see the light - I need to turn that shit off and embrace the modern web with all it’s intrusive popups, tracking et al.”

Nope. Folk will either leave, like I did, or turn on reader mode. 😂

Please stop making the internet even more shitty.

This #Bridgy nonsense is exactly the reason why #Mastodon is doomed to fail unless something changes. The whole “not in my back yard” bullshit is starting to get really old.

You know what really pisses me off? When people append “age” to random words, like:

“Shall we go get some foodage?”

or…

“I’m heading out for lunch to get my steppage up.”

Just use the proper fucking word. You sound like an idiot.

I don’t know why this particular trait annoys me so much, but it does. 😂

I've been lucky enough to make a number of friends from #blogging. This is a bit of a feel good post about how social media isn't the only way to meet new people.

I saw a post on Mastodon recently asking about folk's opinions on Marriage. I replied, but thought I'd write my thoughts out here in a longer form.

Today I learned that the Tesla range of cars are named as such so that they spell out the word “sexy”.

Model S
Model 3
Model X
Model Y

What an utter fucking man child that man is.

I love #RSS. My RSS feed reader is the page I visit most on web, I think. So it's very frustrating when folks update their site, but don't redirect their RSS feed - please remember to do it, people.

Land Rover out. New #EV in.

I just searched for something on #DuckDuckGo and got a “DuckAssist” at the top of the results, right below the ads (of course).

It was basically a ChatGPT like message as if I’d typed the question there.
