Do I want to see Seven on an iMax screen? I'm not sold on it.

It is my solemn duty to report that this is a thing that exists.

You love to see it.

Went to the cricket nets with the 9YO for batting practice. There was a group of 20-ish blokes practicing full on grade cricket, bowling and hitting hard. When they saw us heading there one of them called out “watch your language fellas” to the others. They called out good shots too. Good stuff.

Remembering Edward Gorey on his birthday

Elon is basically a hybrid of Jonah Ryan and David Brent at this point

Update: it’s in the bin 🙁

I am in a room with 14 children learning to play the recorder. #prayforme

BREAKING: due to threats to its territory from the United States the government of Canada has announced that Godspeed You! Black! Emperor will be deployed along the border

Update after three months of ageing: it’s pretty good! Will put it back in the cave for a few more months though.

Fainting goats are great but I want a fainting pig.

These are so good. Ah, Brets, they’ve done it again

From r/cheesemaking: “I got the recipe from AI and it didn’t work out well.” I’m going to have a stronk

Making cultured butter because why not?

(This thought prompted by the fact that I am training a new starter who was born in 2004.)

I could charitably still be described as mid-40s and I’m about to hit the 30-year mark with my current employer. Is that weird? I don’t know.

Glenn Danzig: still funny

Homemade fettuccine and ravioli. Eggs from the chooks. Ravioli were filled with homemade ricotta and served with pesto using basil from the garden. Fettuccine served with home canned tomatoes and homemade cheese,amongst other things. Tired now.

A cool thing I haven’t seen before: my son’s swimming school now has beginner classes for adults.

Nearly there.

One week later:

Charlize Theron is in Belco. Strange days.

This is right up there with people on R/tipofmyfork discovering that chickens have feathers. Good stuff.

Oh, that’s why you don’t leave a bag of dead mealworms in a hot car all day.

Nine months ago we had no chickens. Then we had two. Three months later we had four. Now we have eight. Based on this I can confidently predict that by mid-2028 we will have 1048576 chickens.

Canada should annex Alaska just for fun.
