After 60+ years I don’t offer generic unsolicited advice any more (I learned that lesson) but if I were going to break that rule, I’d suggest you read books. Actually read them too, don’t rely on audio books, and read as widely as you can. Sci-fi, mystery, romance, historical, non-fiction, just try to read a book a month. To lose yourself in a book is one of the great ways to maintain mental health.

Also, don’t offer unsolicited advice.

I’m in my 60s. Posting on social media mostly isn’t fun any more, and I don’t really want to put more money in the hands of billionnaire fascists. So Facebook, Reddit and Twitter are gone (I’ve had to keep Messenger as I have friends who only communicate using that platform) and I’ve never bothered with TikTok, Instagram or Snapchat anyway. This platform and Bluesky are the only ones left and I’m mostly a lurker anyway.

Eyeing little girls with bad intent?

The Bowhead whale. Saved you a click.

North, usually.

The Blues Brothers (1980) or Clue.

That was fast!

I smoked for over 30 years and couldn’t break the habit until I tried vaping in the early years of the technology. I slowly reduced the nicotine level in the e-liquid and quit completely within 18 months. It was easy and fun and cheap. Now I see vapes marketed to kids to get them addicted to nicotine and eventually onto cigarettes. I find it crazy and not a little tragic that a technology designed to get people off tobacco has been re-purposed by the tobacco industry to cause addiction.

Sync on my phone and any old browser on the PC.

At the end of the day, it gets dark.

Outrage? I doubt it, given what the orange twat has done before now that passed with nary a word.

Weekend at Bernie’s. Bernie.

New York City. Stayed one night before flying home and discovered it was noisy, smelly, crowded, dirty, expensive and generally horrible.

And, of course, every single contractor apart from one has kept completely silent about their work on the project. This is unsurprising as such long-term secrecy and efficiency is the hallmark of democratic* governments.

I’m just a cynical Brit (with Canadian blood) but my initial reaction was: “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss”.

True, but given that Trump has put tariffs on uninhabited islands in the Arctic (I believe), it’s still an interesting point to make.

Edit: spelling.

I am proudly batting zero.

Yep, same here.
