the election is closer than you think
DuckDuckGo search for "days until november 7". Atop the results is the AI generated answer "There are 46 days until November 7, 2025".

reposting with alt text
The New Zealand Labour Party condemns the US attack on Venezuela including kidnapping its president as a blatant violation of international law. For the US to say it is now going to run its oil, and in the same breath to repeat its desire to acquire Greenland, is a fundamental challenge to New Zealand values and our place in the world. Nicolas Maduro's human rights abuses should have been dealt with in the International Criminal Court. The US action is another step towards a world of violence and instability where might takes precedence over international law.

It's perfect? Yeah I think it's the perfect gift. Books right up my alley that I might never have picked up, plus one I've been meaning to read for forever. And a Studio Ghibli journal for the "I've got to start journaling" guy? They really knocked it out of the park. #SecretSantaAoNZ

To my #SecretSantaAoNZ gift giver: I have a bookshelf yearning for more secondhand SFF books and a growing CD collection of the worst music you've ever heard. I already own 1 (one) Rubik's Cube. Below is a mood board.

Some whales.

A watercolour done by a friend of mine featuring characters from the video game Baba Is You.

The kids are alright
"I was a volunteer on my 3rd grade son’s field trip last week, and on the bus ride to the museum, I shit you not, some of the kids were pretending to shoot at Teslas out of the window with finger guns. These were not even my kids, I swear, and when I asked them why they were shooting the cars, one even said “well the cars are ok but they’re made by Elon Musk’” and went back to “bam-bam-bam”-ing them."
