Along with my protein and fibre, I’ve been trying to hit some sleep goals since I started strength training. I’m not the complete idiot I used to be about going to bed.
Felafel, for instance, was written between 11pm and 5am. Someone over at the Boob said it was the ‘most ADHD’ book they’d ever read. I get that, but I don’t think I have ADHD. I just don’t tick enough boxes, and I have a whole degree in psychological box-ticking.
Just learned that the super secret in-house demonstrations for Apple’s AR headset are called ‘Fight Club’ demos, because you’re not supposed to talk about Fight Club.
But someone did, obvs, and Bloomberg had this piece about the headset getting closer to release, possibly even at WWDC mid-year.
Replenishment at sea. Probably should have. I read this bit about the US Navy reloading the vertical missile tubes on a destroyer and my head went ‘boing’.
Not just a big one, although I guess it’d be pretty chunky. But a meatball made from actual mammoth mince. Which is a thing now that scientists have started messing around with powers beyond their control.
It’s been a long time since I got myself invested in any sort of sports news, and I dunno why I’m feeling this Peter Bol doping fuck up, but man, I’m feeling it.
I fucking loved this recent bit in the Financial Times (paywalled, soz) about an Italian communist professor throwing shade on Italian food mythology. Long story short, he says it’s pretty much all bullshit. Until the 1950s most Italians starved every day and whatever nutrients they found during the course of the day they’d push straight into their feeding holes.
One fave bit was his take one parmesan cheese. The only true parmesan is American.
I’m straight-up stealing this from Julie Zilko because it’s brilliant.
Not so sure about Midjourney’s interpretation of it, though.
“An Oxford comma walks into a bar, where it spends the evening watching the television, getting drunk, and smoking cigars.”
Because I have zero skills at video thingies, this shit always impresses the Hell out of me. And this Mass Effect/TheOffice mash up is one of the best.
