Had never heard of Benson Boone before today but apparently my daughter quite like his music.
Have now booked tickets to see him live in Sydney in November as a big, early, birthday and Christmas present 🙂

man, fuck this. every time i walk past a store selling these cards it's just 25-40yo dudes in there buying everything, trying to hustle, because this is just the latest in a long line of speculative markets ruining stuff that used to be fun.

A $990 golden nightmare, stunning vintage-style retro art, and iconic Kanto favorites. These are the most expensive Pokémon TCG Pitch Black cards you need to hunt for! https://bit.ly/3RHJYP8

Since I stopped drinking I've lost 5kg in weight. I'll take it. Got lots of other things going on that I'm working through but I remind myself that you just do the next little thing and keep moving.

Finding life hard at the moment. Solo parenting full time has been quite the step up. She's got lots of feelings going on too and life just feels overwhelming. Lined up a chat with someone via work's EAP on Thursday and I have a break this weekend. Just hope it all helps, even just a little. #life

This rant is something I deeply connect with as someone who genuinely enjoy messing around with the computer.
Absolutely f*** them and may everything they do crash and burn with them being trapped inside because the invisible door-handles won't show.

AI is going to make it nearly impossible for anyone to afford a new PC, phone, or gaming console -- all in the name of a future that will never come to pass and a present that will just make a few dudes rich. This is unacceptable

Great result to wake up to, given how turgid some recent performances have been from #ManUtd. Not counting any poultry at this point but hoping we play like this more consistently.
