The “party” that is neoliberalism has been giving our society gift after gift.
We’ve had corruption and self-interest at the highest levels, as PwC executives had their snouts in the trough on both sides of the consulting equation, giving legislative design advice to government then flipping that information and advising their corporate customers on ways around said legislation.
We’ve had executive wages grow exponentially over recent years, irrespective of their performance, or that of the company they lead.
So we are at the point where the feature update for macOS is… screensavers. Better for energy efficiency, and thus climate change, to simply have the screen turn off.
Sick day. Watching episodes of Seinfeld.
I’ve discovered the music artist Jelly Roll. Really digging his sound. 🎵
It’s storming outside. I’m sick and don’t have a voice. Today’s Public Holiday is wasted on me. My boy wanted me to feel better so brought me breakfast in bed. 🥰
Life admin takes up an inordinate amount of time, effort and resources. Problem with having a task manager is nothing ever gets lost in the mix. Full personal accountability can be a real bear.
I think this list is complete, and compiled in no particular order. Thanks @manton for the inspiration.

I’ve written about my favourite apps before, namely OmniFocus and DEVONthink. I starting to learn and enjoy anther app — Logseq — but I don’t feel I’m in a position to yet write about it with too much authority.
I use a whole toolkit of apps on a regular basis to get my work done and enjoy my computing time.
What happened to Roam Research? For a while it was the talk of the internet. Has Obsidian entirely cut its lunch?
So it seems I will once again be addicted to a Zelda game. 🕹️
I watched Seinfeld S1E1. It holds up relatively well, apart from some of the stand-up bits that don’t factor in modern phone technology and riff on normative gender stereotypes. The episode itself was still a lot of fun. 📺
Finished reading: The Tools by Phil Stutz 📚 As with any “self-help” book, application is the key. Interesting how in alignment with stoicism many of the concepts are. There is nothing new in the world.
I like that I don’t need to be an MCU nerd to enjoy this film. I didn’t like the music in this as much as the first two, but playing from a brown Zune makes up for it. The corridor scene is epic.
