I aspire to be as unbothered as Butters.

He’s so chill. Butters looks like Buddha

There is a balance to be struck between doomscrolling and being aware of what’s happening. Knowing when to absorb the facts, and when to put the phone down. It’s depressing, but when good people choose to look the other way, it means the bad guys win. I hope Australia doesn’t go down the American path. I am grateful for the country we live in.

The outright straight face lying is absolutely terrifying.

the coverage of US politics leaves much to be desired

most of the big papers and tv are craven cowards who try to tell us it's a normal government, that the gov just make mistakes

the big media hype up any and all negatives political policies and report trump's spoken word as of it's already set law

what is under reported is that nearly all the policies get struck down and aren't enacted at all

foreign policy and security are the two main problems, loss of expertise is also a problem

I think the most important thing the US needs to do is reconcile city folk and country folk, both have to accept that America comprises different beliefs and ways of living and that all are equally valid ( as long as they are constitutional ( racism is not constitutional ) )

My gfs mum, who is in America, got the news from sbs. It's barely in their media.

I just opened the door for some cool air and got the smoke too

Samsies. Except my realisation was that I had left a window cracked for cool air. Now all closed and Air purifier is going OFF.

Edit: as in going sick not being turned off

I left a window open. Same problem.

it's fairly mild here, only 23

why is it so hot for you?

I left mine outside last night. whoopsidoodle.

At the beach last night you see the column of smoke from the otways.

Winner winner chicken dinner

sometimes they will give 3 if they are small

What did the wee one choose for you today?

I have no interest in sport in general but I don't mind some winter Olympics. Maybe because it's so different to what we usually see and there's none of the annoying hype of Australia athletes

I like watching the snowboard half pipe, the ski jumping, watching winter sports when it’s warm here.

yup, the Winter Olympics is a great watch 🙂

I love watching the luge 🛷

Waiting for her chicken dinner to bake

Is she making strange cat noises?

I considered making some for sugar wax but I do not dare. That stuff is sweet napalm

I'm off my face and

I don't where my home is

Imma know is

where to float is ...

I'm off my face

He's my all time

favourite homie

Such tasty guacamole

And you too. Yesterday and today didn’t do much. Tomorrow off to a friends places for BBQ. I have been assigned to bring a salad, which I’ll do in the morning.

I’m being a slug and having way too much computer time

Edit: I did do a little exercise

4 loads of washing, tidying and cleaning, reading some higher physics, went for a walk down the beach, went shopping

so a busy day even if i have spent some time online

I left a sprinkler on low under a tree in the back yard yesterday. The birds were having a party. Blackbirds, pigeons and indian mynahs we all hopping about in the spray.

Also the BBL Grand Final between Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers is on tonight. The Scorchers deserve to win. Just saying 🧡🏏

I did not want to look

My friends OAM medal is 925. I thought it was kind of bullshit myself.

I don't think we're expecting any real cool change until next weekend. Falling to warm instead of hot overnight looks like the best we're going to get.

It's cool in Springvale now. I have all the windows open.

This is it. Today is the coolest day this week. I hope we get some rain soon, it’s been so dry. But unfortunately none forecast this week.

Tea please chef.

Stir fried lamb and eggplant with mala spice please

I've always wanted to play OOT and Majoras Mask. Didn't know these recomps existed.

Is it possible to push a needle-threader through?

Yep
