“I don’t think you have anxiety, but I’d be happy to refer you to somebody who can help you lose some weight.” -Doctor who specialized in anxiety who I came to because I had such bad anxiety. (He thought the underlying problem was that I didn’t have a boyfriend. Thus this advice.)

Behold the Absolute Unit (TM @themerl.bsky.social) I overpaid for at the charity shop today! See him face. (We don't talk about his unfortunate bottom.)

This needs to be a bigger story. Google Docs is no longer safe for copyrighted material. Any writer on contract needs to stop using it *immediately*.

Honestly a little impressive that EA found a way to be a worse videogame company. You figure at a certain point they were tapped out and then they do this. It’s like a basketball player who scored zero points in a season managing to score points for the other team.

I was googling some dialog from a puzzle in genshin impact to identify which puzzle it is so I could find hints, and the google AI seems to think I've been in some kind of coma or cryostasis for hundreds of years? this is genuinely the weirdest one of these I've ever seen

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Having a weakened immune system can trigger Shingles. And we have a virus circulating constantly that we know from all the research causes immune dysregulation and yet we are still being advised to catch it. 🤦‍♀️ www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

‘It was like something was crawling over me’ – the worrying rise of shingles among millennial womenStress, the cost of living, long working hours and even excessive exercise have all been touted as reasons the illness is rising among women in their 30s and 40s.
