Gemmill

There's a bloke works as a consultant at my place who gets £1k a day from us for being good at DAX and Power BI. So I'm using my previous doomscrolling time to teach myself how to do that and become the £1k a day man. When playschool isn't on.

It's not that I'm not interested. I can get as obsessed as anyone about this stuff. And the little jolts of hatred you can feel for people are totally addictive. But I know it does me no good - it affects my mood, it probably affects my sleep which is already dismal, and once you stop doing it you realise how much of a drain it is. The cancer thing - that would be happening to me personally, so of course I want to know. It's not about living in ignorance or not wanting to know about things. I'm not sitting watching playschool and drooling out the side of my gob as an alternative. It's realising how damaging it is mentally to try and be across all of this stuff - I was literally scrolling to find stuff to be angry about. That's insane. I would guess by the way you turn up here to talk about things, that you might be doing the same...?

Everyone's too busy dancing on tik tok.

Whether you ignore it or you spend all day reading a feed about it, it's happening. Nothing we do will stop that - our next opportunity to do something is a general election. Being informed down to the last detail about this stuff doesn't make any difference to whether it happens, but it absolutely crushes your soul and leaves you permanently furious/in despair.

No more doomscrolling for you, ya big ding dong. I'm constantly nope-ing out within 30 seconds of scrolling twitter at the minute. Deleted the app so I have to use the shite mobile website if I want to put myself through it. Feels like the world is ending if you spend too much time on there. Its literally the opposite of a mood enhancer.

This is your worst EVER post. I honestly don't know how you come back from this.

I think he's playing and you lot are like lasses reading your favourite boy band member's tweets and worrying he might be leaving the band. THAT'S what I think.

Aye enjoy a snake-free pint of Guinness tonight, ewerk. Good old St Patrick.

Servant is canny. Weird as fuck but keeps you watching. If you've got Apple TV and you aren't watching Shrinking, you're a MAJOR arsehole.

Viera sacked.

Got a free 3 months of Apple TV for buying a blender (?!) so decided to resume Ted Lasso seeing as there's a new season coming up. I'd previously abandoned it partway through episode 2 of season 2. It's fucking shite man. The jokes are fucking terrible. Ted Lasso himself is just a big stupid annoying cunt, and every character in it is a cartoonish blow-up version of what they're meant to be portraying. An awful pile of shit. I don't mind an average comedy for a bit of half hour escapism, but this isn't remotely funny. Anyone who watches this and thinks they're better than the Mindy Project is a convicted rapist.

Cooncil tax bill just landed. Up 5.4% which is probably lower than I was expecting.

Does anyone know what happened in 2010 to cause this?!

Sky put the highlights on YouTube but it tends to be the whole game in 3 minutes or so, including goal replays etc.

I didn't bother listening or watching. It'll all be unworkable shite that can't be measured one way or another til they're out of power.

He should lose his seat at the next election and I would hope that he has zero chance of walking back into a teaching job after the way he's behaved. I can see Asda Ace in his future.

We're gonna be fucking mint next season.

I can start a match thread for the next general election, Rents, if you want to get a Labour win locked in now? Do not despair.

I hope Lineker goes after him for this.

Let's get @Dr Gloomin here and kick the everloving fuck out of him about this.

Nothing can stop the Gemmentum.

Looks like it'll be me doing the cancelling.
