I auditioned for wheel of fortune when I was in my late teens, got through to the bit where they call you up to be on the show then it got cancelled :(

I got on Who Wants to be a Millionaire back in the mid oughties. Got to look like a dickhead waving and everything. Would've got on on the first round, but I didn't hit the lock-in button hard enough. At least my 'd'oh' reaction could be seen in silhouette. I've got the video somewhere.

I have been getting emails from Uber asking why I havent used them for probably 3 months. I have been ignoring the emails for normal reasons (primarily because I dont have to explain myself to an organisation)


anyway i was woken up today by a phone call from a random number. I ignored it because its loving saturday morning and nobody calls me from a landline that isnt in my phonebook.


THEY LEFT A VOICEMAIL. TO ASK ME WHY I HAVENT BEEN USING UBER LATELY.

and then an immediate follow up email from the same case manager (apparently this is a huge deal, I have a someone managing 'the case of the missing laserface') asking what would be a good time to discuss my lack of ubering - but only between 9 and 5 (and saturdays are free game obviously)


cool and normal behaviour from a cool and normal company.

That's obnoxious enough that I'd let them know you're boycotting them for life because of their intrusive marketing.

I am over receiving emails asking me to review my purchases. A lot of the time I have bought gifts and it will be weeks or months before I know whether or not they're any good. Wanting me to review your product 48 hours after delivery guarantees that I will use a different seller next time.

I'll do it for eBay purchases because that's just some person rather than a company, but for something like an Amazon purchase?

If I'm reviewing something, it's not to say nice things about it.

eBay have an option now where if you're a seller, you can remove a certain amount of negative feedback per month. As a buyer, it's annoying because I've had one or two purchases recently where the item I've gotten hasn't been as described in the listing and while I've managed to get refunds and return the items after I requested intervention from eBay, the seller has been able to delete my feedback. What's the point of having a feedback feature if sellers can just remove anything negative?

Not quite the same but negative reviews on Amazon has something where the review stays up but comes with a banner to the effect of "Amazon provisioned the item so this feedback doesn't count". Which is all well and good for delivery problems but shonky when it's applied to "item not as described", so basically there's also no moderation of that system at all.

well why not

I am glad for all of the hottest 100 winners that the reader of this post likes, and militantly against those that they dislike.

My top music this last year was any RL Grime, G Jones or EPROM release. Big shout out to Disclosure for an album full of house too. Also recommend Sleep Token and Polaris for strong records too.

There’s lots of good music coming out every day. The list means something different now and that’s fine.

G Flip was getting no recognition as an artist so she set up a secondary instagram account and uploaded videos of her doing what the algorithm/record labels want you to do until she got enough followers to get the attention of a label.

that should explain everything you need to know about G flip.

I don't know much about the music industry but I assume heaps of artists have do something like this if they want to make a living at it. I listened to some of their songs and they're whatever. What is the message I should be taking away?
