it's actually quite incredible how you can tell when you're entering certain boroughs by how markedly less safe it feels to cycle

would really appreciate it if the clown could wait until I get a job and don't have to rely on my savings before crashing the entire global economy

Today I went on a very big rollercoaster. Can you guess when?

A soft serve ice cream in a cone in the sunshine, held in my hand. There are two flavours/colours of ice cream swirled together. The peak of the ice cream is missing because I already ate it

Unemployment in winter = 0/10 not recommended
Unemployment in spring/summer = 6/10 sometimes enjoyable

especially cruel in connections though where the number of guesses you have is limited from the start - only connect gives a bit of freedom to test the water before you start losing lives!

ULEZ is demonstrating the enormous public health benefits of taking bold action on air quality - quite simply, it will lead to healthier communities & save lives. Huge credit to the Mayor for holding out on it.

I know it's been out a while, but listening again in the context of the whole album, Abracadabra is an absolute banger

why does it take so long? why is there no status indicator to reassure you that you did actually record it? why is this whole experience actually worse than using Microsoft Teams?

I really feel like that last one deserves some special prize - "congratulations, you made something worse than Teams"

would love someone on the Google Meets product team to know how acutely anxiety-inducing it is to wait for the meeting recording to be processed, while questioning the whole time whether you actually ever hit record

feel a bit like I messed up a job interview yesterday - what do we reckon, follow up by email with some afterthoughts/what I would have said if I wasn't flustered, or leave it be?

one reason I'm completely giving up on the traditional job search. referrals and networking only from here I think

yes especially the last point!

I've had some cases in the past where research participants have been using lots of jargon which I've wanted to avoid leaning into, but it's jargon that is consistent across lots of people so then I'm wondering... is it even jargon at that point

I'm surprised they can even describe growth as "stagnant", I'd very much expect it to be "negative"
