No birds at anti-1080 protest died from poison (one protected species had been shot.)
Way to push your cause, by being outright fraudulent.
Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc., should be pumping millions into Wikipedia to keep it going. They all (especially Google) rely on it to provide quick replies to common questions. Wikipedia really shouldn’t have to ask its users for cash.
I’ve switched from using an electric toothbrush to a bamboo manual toothbrush for two reasons:
You can brush your teeth just as well with a regular toothbrush.
“That’s not fair!”
“The world isn’t ‘fair’”
“No, the natural world isn’t fair in the survival of the fittest-sense, but this thing that isn’t fair is an entirely human invented thing. So it’s been either designed to be unfair, or it’s horrifically, poorly designed.”
I love Wellington.
Give a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for the night.
Set a man ablaze, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
I almost pity Trump reading this Twitter thread of people caring for relatives with dementia. Repeating himself, forgetting what he’s doing and walking away, illiteracy; signs of a fading mind. He’s horrific, but he may be being exploited by those who must know his mental state.
Running a scooter or bike share service is now so commonplace, there’s a software platform offering the backend and gadget bits and pieces as a service.
Your food should come wrapped in cardboard or paper. They sell flour and sugar in thick paper bags. Your product isn’t so precious it needs more moisture protection than flour or sugar.
Rain, possibly heavy, becoming fine early afternoon. A few showers at night. Northerlies, but afternoon westerlies.
Lies!
I really tried to be present in the moment last week, from Tuesday onwards. Pretty happy with how I’m crushing down on wasting time on my devices. I tend to use the desktop to do things, which means I have to sit down at the desk and be very deliberate about it.
If Santa flies around the entire world, at night, then every Christmas Eve at some point will be foggy. In summary Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer is a song about institutional bullying which only stopped when the executive was caught short due to poor planning.
In Whanganui, people leave offerings at the foot of the Barney Rubble icon.
Not required this year, but I’m happy I have this annual reminder.
Strawberry picking! On the first day of summer.
I’d like an anthology sci-fi series like Black Mirror, but one that doesn’t give me nightmares or make me anxious when I press play.
🎵 Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mum called the doctor and the doctor said
“Hang up immediately and call an ambulance and get him to ER, he could have a severe and potentially fatal brain injury!”🎵
NZ retailers missed a trick. If they are insisting on pushing black friday on us, even though we have no historical link to it, they should at least have called it Rāmere Mangu.
If you’re going to have hold music play, don’t interrupt every 20 seconds saying “we’re sorry you’re still waiting”. I’m happy to listen to uniterupted smooth jazz for 20 minutes if that’s what it takes.
Things I won’t say on my deathbed:
They’re advertising for Apple Store employees in Wellington. Which is good news. There’s no Apple Stores in New Zealand.
I’ve never seen The Lion King.
Oh man. I may have to reconsider my Cartoon Sunday strategy. I’ve already got over a year-worth of episodes to watch.
It was supposed to be a horrible day today. Not so much.
