Excellent, looking forward to it. On a sunny day. With the windows open. And calm music playing in the background.

Sounds like the forestry industry there is throwing a tanty. After destroying the local community and having regulations put in place, now instead of adopting ethical and sustainable practices, they’re throwing their toys

I just bought this! I’m happy like a kid at the holidays. A Star Trek Enterprise shuttle masquerading as a Ke Creuset baking dish. My bread will boldly go where no bread has gone before

I also like to source local, well made items such as this indestructible waxed canvas jacket from Cactus Outdoor

The Australian Research and Space Exploration. A real thing. The name is just all over their shirts. I had to get three just to make sure.

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

I really recommend the 2022 documentary “It’s Quieter in the Twilight,” which profiles the scientists working in relative obscurity to keep the Voyager spacecraft operating—many of them past retirement age, but unwilling to quit until the Voyagers do. It was very sweet and thought-provoking.

Book reviews are an endangered species. So this independent bookstore decided to start publishing its own www.niemanlab.org/2026/06/book...

This was the common setup for various electrical plugs, this one on an airplane. Had to travel with a separate suitcase just with wires, plugs and adapters
A set of outlets including a round IPod outlet, and a red, white and yellow plug, a separate “av” outlet, all from the late 80s or early 90s I think

And, at my final exam, nervously dropped the entire stack walking over to run my program through the machine. Friends, I turned around and just left the huge mess on the floor. Needless to say, did not get a good grade. Or any grade.

I ordered a paperback copy as I left my other book with my Cook Islands friend, who was immersed in it as I left. It will now be passed around the unofficial lending library. Dare I say “amazing“ again?? Perhaps “ fabulous “? ( wonders how far to push it)

It rained and stormed for most of my time in Rarotonga. Fortunately I had some books with me. “Everything will swallow you” by Tom Cox was my favourite. A beautiful written, meandering, lush story with characters that I want to have over for a feed and a wine. Amazing! @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social

The highlight of my Signal life was when Mark Hamill liked one of my posts. It was regarding the original Revenge of the Jedi/ Return of the Jedi posters. I should have just stopped posting as I had reached the pinnacle, never to be surpassed.
