My tiktok algo is all ice protests, and shellshocked Americans, and heatwaves, and the 11th US mass shooting of the year, and then some rando pops up, clapping her hands, saying, 'I'm going to dye my hair copper today!'
Not judging, it's just whiplash disconcerting.

I was telling my kid about the first time I went to a club at 16, overheated and fainted, and I said, 'Now what's the lesson here?' And she says, 'Dont go to a club when you're underage?' and I'm like, 'No! Don't wear a jersey to a nightclub!'
Like, I do not understand her response at all.

Spent most of the afternoon getting the new laptop up to speed. I loved my old laptop. I do not love the new one. The keys feel weird and I don't think it likes me.

Tis the season for data breaches, as Neighbourly.co.nz joins ManageMyHealth.
It’ll probably mean a quick death or sale of Neighbourly as it was slowly dying already. 150GB is probably a full DB dump as it doesn’t include images.

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Kazu, the group/individual behind the ManageMyHealth breach, has posted some samples of the data for verification and they all appear to be legitimate.
Among other things, there are test results (ie; Labtests), referral letters, patient health summaries, hospital ED summaries and other letters

I started my New Years resos a couple of days ago just to ease into it. The big one is no scrolling after 8pm, and putting a 60 minute daily timer across all social media sites. I feel less anxious already, tbh.

My 13yo just came into my room asking if I had any dirty cups or plates because she was about to wash the dishes 😮

My relative was admiring my kid's winning grade certificate on the fridge, and I told my kid (in a very serious, profound voice), "You have brought honour to our family," and he was so chuffed! I'm going to say that often now. It makes me feel like a crime boss kingpin or something.

We went to a restaurant buffet for Xmas lunch. It was soooo good. Everyone was nice, Santa was giving out lollies, the food was delicious, I didn't have to cook anything, and there's no dishes.
Cons: no leftovers and spendy af.
