“NEAR THIS SPOT CAPT. JAMES COOK MET HIS DEATH FEBRUARY 14, 1779” — A brick laid in the waters of Kealakekua Bay, Kona district, Hawaiʻi

Happy Death of James Cook day to those who celebrate. On 14 February 1779 British explorer Captain James Cook was killed as he attempted to kidnap Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the ruling chief (aliʻi nui) of the island of Hawaii, and hold him hostage for the return of a cutter which Hawaiians had stolen.

if i'm doing the math right, if the trial goes well and Fortescue replaces all 70 locos, that would be nearly half their annual diesel consumption gone?

Bill Heslop from The Castle saying "Ya can't stop progress!"

none of these words are in the bible

every accusation is a confession

roses are red,
violets are purple,

... you changed the wrong line. are you unfamiliar with how "roses are red, violets are blue" works?

ahhh so THAT’s why there were couples everywhere today

spice rack mounted on a cupboard door

i spent like two hours today putting felt all over my cupboard-door-mounted spice rack to stop everything rattling when i open or close the door

bonus points to anyone who can come up with a better rhyme for "blueshifted"

roses are redshifted,
violets are blueshifted

(i'm not entirely sure what's going on with the rails in that subway station pic though)

to be fair a broken iPod can't either

Blue iPod Nano, rectangular MP3 player with button wheel and vertical screen

Instead of getting a Ring camera and contributing to the surveillance state,
- Get a broken iPod Nano
- Drill a big hole clean through the central button
- Mount it over your door's peephole so you can see through the hole

There. Theft deterrent without class betrayal. Plus it's cool.

Feather Favourites [Remixes] - YouTube These are the remixes that I've found that I absolutely LOVE and really appreciate!

I made a new playlist for my channel; my favourite remixes of my original songs, and collabs that I've been a part of (that I can remember haha I'll continue to add to this as I find stuff new to me :3)

i'm pretty sure Newspoll's 2PP calculations are based on models and preference flows from previous elections, and those models break down when a "minor" party has 27% of the first prefs.

bring on PM Pauline! (probably a better orator than Trump, lol)

oh your alt text descriptions are excellent, yes indeed Pearl is always the long weird one

Piscart was a typo but i've decided it's actually correct. piss cart indeed

email from "Team Picsart" offering a "partnership opportunity"

i love this email, it explains nothing about what Piscart is

one quick search later: yep it's AI, of course it has no idea what it is

maybe try a stress ball? or a hacky sack?

"It's over for me, Jeeves. One more slip-up on Mx. Bobbie Wickham's new pronouns, and there's a callout post with my name on it, primed to render me persona non grata everywhere but Roderick Spode's Mastodon instance." "If I might make a suggestion, sir..." "Please. Bertram Wooster the Ally is all ears." "On the matter of they/them pronouns, it may be efficacious to imagine Mx. Wickham as a swarm of bees." "You know, Jeeves, I think I already do."

"But that's the best part, old horse," said Ukridge, animated. "Unlike our ancient, debauched, *fiat* currency — all right in its way, I suppose, but no match for the future — cryptocurrency gets more and more computationally expensive to produce. They do it with computers, I'm told." "What's so good about that?" "Upon my Sam, don't you see it? Expense is value. Scarcity is value." I held back from wishing he'd make himself more valuable by leaving. "The dashed things can only increase in value as more and more people embrace progress. Everyone wins." "Except the people near the end of the chain," I pointed out. "And you don't want to be one of them, do you, laddie? Are you in?" I shook my head. "Disappointing. Tragic. Men like you killed the electric car. Look up at the sky in a month's time, old horse. You'll see the rest of us, those who possessed the big, broad, flexible outlook, waving down at you from Mars." He checked the time. "Shall we go to lunch?" "Let's." The diner didn't take Bitcoin, so I had to pay for us both.

"I say, Jeeves! I've gone viral!" "Congratulations, sir." Jeeves bowed his head. "There's just one F-tier pull, in the proverbial gacha, if you catch my meaning. Said virality is localized entirely to Tumblr dot com." Jeeves raised his left eyebrow an eighth of an inch. "Sir?" Those who know Bertram Wooster know that he is nothing if not extremely online. But the Tumblrites' ways had me stymied, and I told Jeeves as much. "Take these tags, jeeves, from Tumblr user aziraphales-sweaty— Well, you can see this username, Jeeves. User A.S.C.A.B. reblogged with '#I'M GNAWING OFF MY OWN LEG'. What do you make of it?" "Perhaps I can offer illumination, sir." "Illuminate by all means, Jeeves. Listed pronouns are worm/worm, if that helps." "It is my understanding that in such matters, approbation can be discerned through the depth of emotion expressed, rather than the literal text." "You mean, worm is jolly well chuffed?" "Precisely, sir." "Naruhodo, Jeeves." A thought occurred. "Do *you* have a Tumblr account, by any chance?" Jeeves said nothing.
