    2025 Week Notes - Week 2
    A return to a five day working week this week. This brought with it the inevitable struggle to get into a working rhythm and I spent a lot of time second-guessing my own work. On Tuesday I played in Worthing D&D White's 65-123 away win against Horsham Hawks Black. I finished the game with 12 points, making four three-pointers which set a new season high in points for me.

    Why I Didn't "Get Into Watches" But Ended Up With a Snowflake
    I have never been into the look of a Rolex or the unnecessarily busy dials on an Omega. But I was smitten by the appearance of the Grand Seiko SBGA211, also known as the Snowflake.

    Prolonged use of social media may make you short tempered
    Research from Massachusetts General Hospital, I believe, in the United States, possibly underscores what many of us already suspect: that prolonged use of social media may not be the best: This kind of study cannot prove that your hours of doomscrolling is directly making you Tik’d off, but in light of known associations of irritability and mental health issues, maybe we should put down our phones just a little more. …

    Why Does the Crowd Have to Pay?
    Hearing politics getting thrown around during this fire is tired. I’ve heard Rick Caruso, Patrick Soon-Chiang, Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom, Donald Trump all play the blame game.

While we all know the answer to this question, I don’t hear this being voiced at all: WHY THE FUCK DO WE HAVE TO CROWDFUND …

What are we trying to make true? Alignment looks nice when the team OKRs roll up to the department OKRs, and those add up to the company OKRs. This is logical. And terrible.
