Ew, Auckland central library installed very loud chirping cricket sounds playing where the bike racks are to deter homeless folk. This fucking sucks — what the fuck, library??

Minnesota lawmaker Katie Jones rode in a cargo e-bike to the hospital for her baby's birth. Her husband, Peter Schmitt, pedaled the two miles there.

On the return journey, their son Hans – all 8 pounds and 1 ounce of him – was bundled up and handled it just fine, Jones said.

I thought I was imagining the sickly colour of the cured meats!

It’s a good time to chuck on a respirator mask, esp in health care settings, public transport & busy places (indoors and out). @covidactionnz.bsky.social have set up a couple of mask blocs around the country if you’re close to one and need some masks.

I actually thought that I might have to upgrade the pot size — never occurred to me you could bonsai it (but what can’t you bonsai?)

You might have to investigate notching it to encourage some branching
