It’s just like here but there’s an awful, hollow, gnawing feeling like you’ve already seen this post before just last week.

Going to guess you aren’t European and you aren’t aware of what Putin did to our gas prices at the start of the Ukrain invasion.

You’re out by a million miles (sarcasm, not exact figure).

Dangerously close to live laugh love.

How many angry teens retreat to their room and hit it up on the stereo after their mum has told them to bring her their dirty laundry?

Actually that’s not that obscure.

Really obscure knowledge would be something like the sign for Ashton Road once had a plastic soldier taped to it for six months by this kid called Richard who once shat himself in primary school and rather than clean himself up spent most of the break trying to get other people to shit themselves like he was starting a new trend. He was unsuccessful.

The word “dinosaur” was coined by a resident of my town.

I used to be able to sleep endlessly.

Now I find myself awake early in the morning, despite having gone to bed rather late. And I’d like to go back to sleep but I can’t.

I miss it.

And this isn’t even about needing to get up to pee. That’s apparently something I still have to look forward to.

I will follow you into battle.

Ok, not preaching here… Just sharing something that helped me.

I was “terminally online”.

It got me down.

What I found out was that staying well informed doesn’t mean keeping up to date with what is happening at this very moment. It means learning all the wonderful things from history.

Well informed means learning, right?

There are so many brilliant things you can learn right now. And they’ll all make you a better, more useful, citizen.

Learn how to paint. Learn photography. Learn why the Japanese like squid. Learn cockney rhyming slang. Learn about Egypt’s history with gold. Learn it all. That’s also staying well informed.

News is such a small part of being human.

Nice to ban you, to ban you nice.

He’s such a trooper.

I’d still like to throw infinite amounts of money at it to find out.

But yeah. If it was filmable, someone would have had a half-hearted stab by now.

Hey look, Elon was clearly trying to build half a house!

For the kids!
