So, true to form, a song I thought was a pretty strong entry for the UK comes last in the ESC*. Inevitably UK social media's post-contest dissection takes place; "Why does the UK always come last? Why does Europe hate us so?" they ask. Previously, for a couple of years at least, the general concensus of opinion was...
I can't stand social media; it all feels incredibly performative and/or unauthentic. What I'm now realising though is that the latest changes I've made to this site are all different forms of social media. I signed up for micro blog, lastFM and letterboxd and then added pages to the site to show what I'm watching,...
Like if you had zero obligations and money wasn't an issue, how would you spend your time? I work with a lot of older guys who are all coming up on retirement age soon, and some that are well past that but refuse to move on because they "just don't know what they'd do." Is that how meaningless life is these days? So...
A colleague of mine that I have been working with for years, and get along with pretty well, recently shared that they had completed a personal project of theirs: Publishing an illustrated non-fiction book. We did a round of congratulations, but I couldn't shake the idea that this is unexpected of them, as they had...
Not only am I not watching the Eurovision Song Contest this year, I haven't even looked up any of the songs competing. I have watched in ESC previous years, even with Israel's competing. But I think my tolerance for the blatant propaganda has officially hit zero. I'm tired of even thinking of it. The propaganda of...
I've been cutting way back on my off-hours screen time for the last five days or so: Most days I've been analog-only, except perhaps for reading on an e-ink Kindle, until I start work around 7:45a. (That's a two-hour block of time.) I've been putting my phone away circa 7:30p, though my wife and I usually watch some...
Good morning That's how I normally start off my first fediverse post for the day. In fact, there's a good morning hashtag I attach to it too, as there is a group of regular good morning posters. Actually, I've only just realised that I use the hashtag but don't follow it (you can follow hashtags on Mastodon, as well...
I rarely watch any kind of sport, but yesterday a tennis video caught my eye. The title was 6 Minutes of Roger Federer Exemplary Sportsmanship. What a wonderful watch! A great athlete in more than one sense. No ego, just common sense and humility. I wish there was more of that in today's society. Not only when it...
We've made the world too complicated. I'm writing this with technology I will never fully understand in a building with rooms I can never enter, living in a country dictated by laws I can't control. We spend the majority of our waking hours and lives in an abstract world of compressed life. The moment I walk through...
for the last two years i have been mentalizing quite a lot, and i now can confidently conclude that this habit has not expanded my empathy. to the contrary, i've seen what's going on in people's minds, and i don't like it. i am, in some ways, a highly sympathetic audience to those who are hurting. i like to listen,...
