I don’t really enjoy posting on this app - or scrolling on it, really - I don’t much enjoy any of the apps anymore. This being a fun thing to do feels more and more like a distant memory. Anyway, see you all tomorrow.

We can’t afford convertibles. So how do Millennials have a midlife crisis? DJ decks, pickling jars, smoking meats – welcome to the new midlife cliches.

Valentine’s Day may be the world’s most hated holiday – but I won’t be joining the pile-on | James Colley You don’t need flowers, chocolates or a card. You don’t even need to be celebrating romantic love. But I like the idea of recognising the everlasting surprise of loving and being loved

My wife isn’t on bluesky so I get to announce that we’re having another baby the way I want, following in the footsteps of my favourite rock icon.

Unless a character in a film explicitly says the words “New Zealand”, you can safely assume New Zealand doesn’t exist in that universe.
