One thing i DESPISE about "New Outlook" is that when you Empty the Junk Mail folder, they go to Deleted Items as unread. "Old Outlook" didn't do that. FFS @microsoft.com @microsoftofficial.bsky.social @microsoftoutlook.bsky.social #outlook #microsoft

well .... of course they do. they're not likely to want to own up to the BILLIONS of dollars of damage they are responsible for. nope, they just want to pillage and plunder, and then leave behind a mess for someone else to worry about.
sadly, with this govt, they will probably get their way #nzpol

Now let's this reflected later this year at the election, else it's just another meaningless poll.
We all know, a vote for National, NZF, or ACT is a vote AGAINST environmental protections and a vote to line the pockets of wealthy corporate donors.
So New Zealand, what do we really want? #nzpol

I don't really like the "New" Outlook. Mostly i think it is a major step backwards. But, every now & then, it does surprise me with little bits of good, like the "Unsubscribe" button that makes it easier to yeet annoying spam crap without having to find the tiny almost hidden unsubscribe link.

Wait. So the EU have said they won't be bullied by Trump and now our media frames it as them starting a trade war with Trump!?!?!?
Oh do fuck off. It is Trump threatening tariffs on Europe because they won't let him annex parts of Europe, but sure, it's the EU starting a tariff war. FFS.

What I would say to you is that after I have been missing for weeks and weeks on holiday, after crying about Kiwis taking long summer holidays, that what I will be doing today is launching my election campaign for later this year, funded by you, the taxpayer, as I am entitled. Thank you.

After a morning paddleboarding in an estuary I've located my afternoon book reading spot. Also known as my afternoon nap spot.

Just hope that the next ABs coach has realised that rugby has moved on and can figure out how to adapt and change... Else we may as well stay home and skip the next world cup.

Nice thing about living in Auckland is there are multiple places you can get REALLY good boerewors, but there are also many places that sell the most awful stuff. Not all boerewors in made the same folks. Skip Pac 'n Save or Wollies or New World or wherever, go to Westmere or Pine Hill butchers.

So it rained for 5 whole minutes in Auckland, just long enough to make it even more unbearbly humid. Yay.
