Okay, maybe not really country but country adjacent. I've always loved Buffalo Tom and I love Bill sitting in a hotel room with an acoustic guitar.

Yep - gardening and cooking. But generally I would help people doing things when they needed help doing things; a persistent assistant of sorts.

post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

In some parts of the world, a rich person using their wealth to undermine a media outlet for ideological reasons would be considered a bad thing, but here it is a “masterstroke” archive.ph/kBPiZ

The story of how Fender guitars first arrived in Christchurch, New Zealand, in the early 1960s.

I am disappointed none of The Mustangs are playing Fender Mustangs!

“Active Bluesky Users” you mean BIRDS?

Voyager 1 is currently more than 24 billion kilometres from Earth and getting 17km farther every second and hilariously it is not as out of touch with New Zealand as our Prime Minister

I also like that Dando has happily morphed into The Dude.

Happily surprised that the new Lemonheads stuff is pretty good.

Govt: we're giving every town cop the ability to issue a "move on order" to the homeless

Me: MOVE THEM ON TO WHERE, NATIONAL, FUCKING SPACE?

I have done much garden stuff this morning. Planted out a bundle of fuchsia cuttings & columbine seedlings and consolidated the cosmos and chillies into larger pots. Finally I fertilized the remains of one of our most cherished fuchsia that got brutally assaulted (fell on it) by another fuchsia.

White Japanese Anemone flowers with bright yellow and pale green centres against a backdrop of long grass and weeds

So pleased to spot that the Japanese Anemones are flowering. Thought we’d lost them in the storm 🌱

I am just finishing up marking around 100 short essays for a paper I'm marking and this piece rings very very true.

Worked hard this morning, so a proper lunch is in order.

Fair enough mate - was quite a while ago when I got Reaper.

I do remember the only roadblock in the DAW was a pop up box saying I should get a license when I first booted it up (dismiss and go on working). Again, this could all be different now!

I used it on the trial license for about 6 months before I paid for it (not because it forced me to but because I'd decided it was a good investment and had some spare money). Not sure if it still works like that...

Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

My god do we need UBI

“Researchers have found that when a new plasma center opens in a neighborhood, foot traffic at local grocery stores increases, interest in payday loans declines and crime goes down, an indication of the way money from plasma props up households’ finances for necessities.“
