2026-W41: Executive Dysfunction
Well, another week. This one completely without any trains, so there's that. Messed up sleep schedule, again. All my life I heard that with age people go to bed earlier and get up earlier.

ell, another week. This one completely without any trains, so there’s that. Messed up sleep schedule, again. All my life I heard that with age people go to bed earlier and get up earlier. I cannot confirm. While my natural sleep rhythm was midnight to eight for almost all my adult life, lately it seems very much have shifted to 2 to 10. Experiments like a few weeks when I went to bed at nine in the evening didn’t change anything about that. Oh well.
Want a bit of a media round-up?
The latest season of Jet Lag: The Game was amusing enough. A lot of pretty shots of Japan and a lot of Tom Scott.
The current season of Taskmaster feels a tiny bit off. Still something I watch as soon as possible.
The Celebrity Traitors series 2 is very interesting. (Don’t click that Wikipedia link, if you don’t want it spoiled, though.) And after some early-season shenanigans it seems like it will now start for good.
Survivor 51 started okay. Still too early to tell who will win, but there have been a few very funny editing choices.
As you can see, pure prestige television there. Not at all the media equivalent of cheeseburger and fries.
