Slightly More Fun Than Doomscrolling

The five things that recently caught my eye.

Woah, the end to 2024 and the start of 2025 has a bit of an adventure hasn't it? Christmas presents, crazy weather, new world leaders, and more... let alone us humans consuming more and more content.

I've also had a change to this newsletter.

I've decided to stop just redirecting back to my website to read any of the articles.

It's way more simple now, and keeping this newsletter exclusive to those who have subscribed... so I'm now writing short blurb in this email and then linking directly to the the interesting thing.

...which means less clicks for you, and also less worries for me about "getting traffic to my website" - as that feels very much like it was a 2008 problem, not one for 2025!

​

Anyway, that's enough from me.

Enjoy the ride. :-)
