Former leader Ardern has left New Zealand. She’s not the only one | CNN Twenty years of memories spilled across Jacinda Thorn’s yard. Teddy bears and textbooks, a jumble of whisks and frying pans catching the morning sun.

Christ, we've made it to the front page of CNN. Back on track indeed.

Tried to climb into your hair?!! New nightmare fear unlocked.

Fuck, didn't realize I've missed half of the Puerto Rican game. Stupid timezones.

I have beer. I have chips and dip. I have done (some) of my Saturday chores. Time for some baseball, baby. #WorldBaseballClassic

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Maternal grandfather was a soldier killed in WWII whose gravesite is in a Commonwealth cemetery in Italy. Paternal grandfather was a rural doctor in a small coal mining town in West Virginia. Paid in chickens type doc.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Went to the gym today for the first time in ages. Could still do push-ups, whew. I'm back on track.

And not all of us can qualify for a 55 and over discount. I'm a spry young thing of 54.

That's me with chili. I rarely follow a recipe and just make it with vibes. It's always decent at least and sublime on occasion.

I bought the phone outright, not tied to a mobile plan. And I put $500 down on my first house.

Was talking about buying an iPhone and someone joked that buying the phone plus the charger would cost more than a down payment on a house. Ummm... I just bought an iPhone (sans charger) that, for real, cost me more than the deposit I paid for my first house in Baltimore. Fucking hell.

I'm not a big fan of hot cross buns but... at the supermarket today there were Reeses peanut butter hot cross buns. Sold!

When I was little and I heard a song on the radio I believed the band was there playing it live. Every time. I felt cheated when I learned the DJs were playing albums.

Wore a t-shirt yesterday in the blazing sun and today a sweatshirt under a lined raincoat. Huzzah to those fleeting moments of autumn before winter began.

I've lived in my place about three years now and I have a reserved carpark and haven't had any issues until today. Came home after lawn bowls and a car was in my spot. I will give you one guess of the type of car it was.*

*You don't need a guess- of course it was a fucking BMW.

I’m not surprised by the utterly vapid response of NZ’s government to the actions of the U.S. and Israel but I am deeply disappointed and ashamed.

I love animals in general and I for sure love dogs but... I would also love a green space in the city that didn't stink of dog piss. Doing some practice bowls at my bowls club and dog piss was the overriding smell. Not sure how to mitigate this.

Yup, LLMs are so woefully bad at history, so I'm never trusting them with anything else... but I keep meeting smart people who "ask ChatGPT" for so many things, and it's driving me to despair

It's been around three weeks since I haven't had to wake up to an alarm. Here's to tomorrow morning when I wake up without enough sleep just because.

I like how the so called β€œjob creators” are always laying off people

This challenge was like a normal Friday morning when I was in the army and stationed in Texas. Beers and tacos Thursday night, PT while still drunk Friday morning.

I would do this for $1 million. In a heartbeat. I'd be hating life the next day but I'm a cheap motherfucker who would go the distance for this payout. I'm not fast or flash but I would get the job done.

Our quiz team now has a β€œBooke of Grievance”, where people had the correct answer but were overruled by the rest of the team.
